DAVEH: I hesitate to jump into your discussion with DavidM, Keving.......but I strongly disagree with your above comment. God did NOT force Adam to sin. Adam freely partook of the forbidden fruit.

question. Calvinists argue strongly that God planned the fall, and not
only that, but also every sinner who lives today is predestined by God
to sin. Pelagians emphasize free will of man, and Arminians take a more
moderate position. To thrust all this on Mormonism without
acknowledging the Protestant debate over this question is extremely
hypocritical.Peace be with you.
