D&C 29: 34, 36, 40, 42
40 Wherefore, it came to pass that the devil tempted Adam, and he partook of the forbidden fruit and transgressed the commandment, wherein he became subject to the will of the devil, because he yielded unto temptation.
compare this verse to the one timothy ch.2
14 And Adam was not deceived, but the woman being deceived was in the transgression.
Gen. 3: 6.
6 And when the woman saw that the tree was good for food, and that it was pleasant to the eyes, and a tree to be desired to make one wise, she took of the fruit thereof, and did eat, and gave also unto her husband with her; and he did eat.
ok, ive always believed that Adam resisted temptation. and it was eve alone that went to adam and he partook because he didnt want to lose his wife. but genesis clearly says adam was present with eve at the tree. but it says adam was not deceived. clearly the D&C verse declares adama a transgressor, but the bible says only eve was in the transgression. at least thats whats implied. was adam at the tree when eve ate the first bite, was he away at the time and eve called adam to her side to take of the forbidden fruit.
2 Ne. 10: 24.
24 Wherefore, my beloved brethren, reconcile yourselves to the will of God, and not to the will of the devil and the flesh; and remember, after ye are reconciled unto God, that it is only in and through the grace of God that ye are saved.
the book of mormon states that adam and eve wouldve remained in a state of innocence.
however it is my opinion that because Adam is called a son of God the knowledge of righteousness wouldve (possibly) increased. Adam was created to live for eternity, i cant see Adam being in a state of innocence forever, even learning to become a God.
however, because of the fall, and His redemption of christ, he has become a god in his own kingdom, at least according to the LDS church.
let me see if i can find thescriptures.

If eve hadn't eaten the apple, what would've happened?
would we all be in the garden of eden? because then that would probably mean there'd be no england, europe or america because we would'nt have explored outside the boundaries of the garden, right?

2 Ne. 2: 23
23 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.
