Blaine: I know of no scripture, Mormon or otherwise, that sheds light on how the Father arrived at his knowledge of good and evil. John the Baptist ate honey and locusts, in order that he might know the difference between good and evil, the bitter and the sweet. There are many experiences we can have to learn the difference between good and evil without having to sin--sinning to learn the difference is learning the hard way, I would say. Obedience to God's commandments is the easier route. To draw the conclusion that one must sin in order to learn the difference between good and evil is to draw a conclusion based upon shallow understanding of life in general and its purposes. The idea that Mormonism teaches God sinned is Kevin's fantasy. Kevin brought it up, let Kevin show where it comes from (:>). ----- Original Message ----- From: "David Miller" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Wednesday, January 14, 2004 6:12 AM Subject: RE: [TruthTalk] Adams FALL UPWARD
