Questions
- Is verse 7 purely symbolic? Was Adam also a literal son of God, but not born nin the flesh (or in other words mortality)? (See the genealogy of Christ in Luke 3:38, Paul's discussion of the two Adams (or two gods) in Romans 5 and 1 Corinthians 15 especially verses 45-50.)
- Could the Father be "responsible" for mortality? Immortality? Or did his two literal or figurative sons have to bear the weight of this repsonsibility?
- Why did it take one god (Michael/Adam) to choose bring us into mortality and another God (Christ) to choose to provide immortality? Was there another way to do the same?
- How does a correct undestanding of the Fall change our views of the Atonement? Which event was more essential, or could one exist with out the other?
- Why do Latter-day Saints study the Fall so much in order to understand the Atonement?
