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 Rom 5 and 1 Cor 15 (esp :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?
