Y'all Gotta See This Or You Will Think I Made It Up.
The Church of Jesus Christ of Later Day Saints (so-called), or LDS, or Mormons teaches this distortion of the Bible, based on what they believe, according to their fairy tale, anti-Bible writings (The Book of Mormon, and Doctrines and Covenants). They believe that Adam's sin was part of God's salvation plan.
THIS IS A LIE. THIS IS NOT BIBLICAL. THIS IS TOTAL HERESY. THIS IS FABRICATION.
Remember,
* God is not the author of confusion or the creator of sin.
* God not only did not plan the fall of Adam (though He foreknows all things), God condemned Adam for the sin that caused the fall of Adam.
* The fall caused the separation of man from God.
* The death and resurrection of Christ was the answer to the problem presented by Adam's fall.
As you read the LDS fairy tale, REMEMBER,
* EVE is not a voice of Divine authority and,
* The so-called, book of "Moses" from the erroneous Book of Mormon IS NOT GOD'S WORD, and
* There is no true prophet of God named Lehi, and
* There is no inspired book called "Nephi" or "2 Nephi."

"Great Blessings Resulted from the Transgression
How does the Fall provide opportunities for us to become like our Heavenly Father?
Some people believe Adam and Eve committed a serious sin when they ate of the tree of knowledge of good and evil. However, latter-day scriptures help us understand that their Fall was a necessary step in the plan of life and a great blessing to all of us. Because of the Fall, we are blessed with physical bodies, the right to choose between good and evil, and the opportunity to gain eternal life. None of these privileges would have been ours had Adam and Eve remained in the garden.
After the Fall, Eve said, “Were it not for our transgression we never should have had seed [children], and never should have known good and evil, and the joy of our redemption, and the eternal life which God giveth unto all the obedient” (Moses 5:11).
The prophet Lehi explained: (DLG note... false prophet)
“And now, behold, if Adam had not transgressed he would not have fallen [been cut off from the presence of God], but he would have remained in the Garden of Eden. And all things which were created must have remained in the same state in which they were after they were created. …
“And they would have had no children; wherefore they would have remained in a state of innocence, having no joy, for they knew no misery; doing no good, for they knew no sin.
“But behold, all things have been done in the wisdom of him who knoweth all things.
“Adam fell that men might be; and men are, that they might have joy” (2 Nephi 2:22–25)."
Well, I told you that you would think I made this up.
