The Merciful Plan, The Fall and the Promise of Resurrection

2 Nephi 9:6 - "For as death hath passed upon all men, to fulfil the merciful plan of the great Creator, there must needs be a power of resurrection, and the resurrection must needs come unto man by reason of the fall; and the fall came by reason of transgression; and because man became fallen they were cut off from the presence of the Lord."President Joseph Fielding Smith - “I never speak of the part Eve took in this fall as a sin, nor do I accuse Adam of a sin…It is not always a sin to transgress a law…This was a transgression of the law, but not a sin in the strict sense, for it was something that Adam and Eve had to do!”President Dallin H. Oaks - “Some Christians condemn Eve for her act, concluding that she and her daughters are somehow flawed by it. Not the Latter-day Saints! Informed by revelation, we celebrate Eve’s act and honor her wisdom and courage in the great episode called the Fall”President Brigham Young - “We should never blame Mother Eve, not the least”Seek this Jesus - A Book of Mormon Daily Podcast invites you to discover the joy and guidance that comes from studying the Book of Mormon everyday.
