Beautifully done and well-thought out thanks so much for taking the time to post this!
Beautiful. So glad I found this. Such a nice teaching video! Can’t wait for the next one and the 4 ways to be explained. Love the waterfalls. Great job:)
Hey bud, great job on the video! I love how the narration comes right from the scriptures themselves!
Interesting view of the fall, I am Catholic and never have seen it portrayed in this way. Adam and Eve being made of the same flesh were strong when together, but weak when apart. This is why I believe Mary was the new Eve, being obedient to God. Jesus was the new Adam being born of a women who did not sin.
And the scriptures even call by the title of Adam, “And so it is written, The first man Adam was made a living soul; the last Adam was made a quickening spirit…The first man is of the earth, earthy: the second man is the Lord from heaven” (1 Corinthians 15:45-47)
Adam as the father of the human family introduced mortality, which brought with it sin and death. Jesus Christ, as the new Adam, became our ‘new’ father by our adoption to Him as our Redeemer and Savior.
thanks for the video. this week i’m teaching my preschooler about adam and eve. and when you started talking, my little boy said, “that’s heavenly father talking”!
gotta love kids!
I am not Morman..but I love your vd’s…so represenative of God’s words…
Thank You for posting…
Thanks. I need to get to work on continuing the rest of the videos I’ve got lined up to make in this series! =)
Wonderful video, nice job!
This is a good video, but . . .
If Adam and Eve were made by God and they were immortal, but couldn’t have children . . . Why would he give them a commandment like “Be fruitful and multiply”?? So Lucifer (the devil, a demon, whatever) ends up being a “good guy” because Adam and Eve had to disobey God and do what Lucifer said to obey God’s commandment to be fruitful and multiply?
so how did lucifer end up on earth first?
Lucifer was cast out of heaven and sent down to the earth before Adam and Eve came (Isaiah 14:12-13). This is discussed in detail in my video “Mormon Beliefs: Part 1″ which is in the video list to the right side of this page >>
so if adam and eve were the first people on the earth, then when cain was driven out for killing his brother abel, the bible say’s in genesis 4:14-17 that cain knew his wife in another Land.east of eden!. Who were these other people?
so if adam and eve were the first people on the earth! then how do you explain that when cain slew abel,God drove out cain from his presence and told him”whosoever slayeth cain,vengeance shall be taken on him sevenfold! And the Lord set a mark upon cain, lest any finding him should kill him! and cain knew his wife! Please read Genesis 4:14-17
Thank you for creating these great videos. I am leaving for my mission soon, and at the mo I am trying to study PMG chapter 3, and your videos are helping me do my outline for lesson 2. Cheers!
Adam and Eve had more children than just Cain and Abel. The children of Adam and Eve married each other and began to propogate the species. The Bible does not say that there were no other children. It simply mentions Cain and Abel by name because they are the main focus of a story. There were other children.
Cain was already married to his wife before he went eastward to the land of Nod. “knew his wife” means they had intercourse which produced a child, it doesn’t mean that they met and came to know eachother first in the other land. He was already married to her and they produced a child when they were in the East.
well according to Genesis chapter 6, there were actually other beings such as giants(nephilim) at the time of noah and the time of adam and eve and other talking serpents. lookup giants(nephilim) on youtube. they have discovered the remains of the nephilim. they were also at the time of moses when they wanted to take canaan the first time in numbers 13:30-33
This is a pretty good video. People should really read the book of Adam and Eve to understand everything fully. The Bible, as it is today, is very vague about this.
Thank you, my question exactly. The original scripture says nothing about Adam and Eve being unable to bear children before the fall, in fact the statement “You shall know pain in chlldbirth” suggests that this was an option, albeit unpursued, beforehand. (Or maybe pursued. Like someone else said, the scriptures are vague on the matter) But yeah, this is just reinforcing my beliefs that Joseph Smith had good intentions, but just ended up screwing things up. Nothing personal, that’s my view.
The verse you noted takes place *after* Adam & Eve partook of the fruit (Genesis 3:16). As a result of the Fall, women would conceive children through pain of childbirth. There is no description in the Bible if they were *able* to have children or not prior to the Fall, we know that they were not by Latter-day revelation.
Regardless, if Adam did NOT partake of the fruit after Eve, they would have been separated and unable to have children. Eve had eaten the fruit and by doing so would be cast out, leaving Adam alone in the Garden. Being thus separated, they could not have had children and bring about their posterity, you and I. Adam chose to Fall in order to be with his wife Eve and bring forth children, giving rise to the human race. Adam fell that men might be.
