00:35 – Heavenly Father’s plan in the premortal council required Jesus to be the Savior. The Savior sought only the glory of the Father.

09:15 – The Serpent (Satan) comes to Eve. The serpent was subtle, a word with many meanings. 2 Nephi 2 helps to explain how agency works and what is required for it to be operative.

16:40 – Adam and Eve were commanded to not eat the fruit and to also multiply and replenish the earth. A discussion on these potentially conflicting commands.

23:24 – Another view on the divine commandments given to Adam and Eve.

29:03 – Eve’s temptation and the Fall. Understanding Lehi’s discourse on the Fall helps us see how it was a blessing to all mankind.

34:10 – Reading Genesis 3 through the lens of the temple and Jesus’ Sermon on the Mount will help us see layers of meaning.

48:21 – The curse given to the serpent as an allusion to the Atonement of Jesus Christ.

50:45 – The curse given to Eve relates to sorrow in conception. Other ways to interpret “He shall rule over thee.” The curse given to Adam.

1:02:05 – Moses 4 introduces the two first laws of heaven: obedience and sacrifice.

1:07:01 – Moses 5 illustrates how Cain made choices that led him down the path to perdition.

1:13:16 – The Mahan principle is converting life into property.

1:19:02 – The Lord invited Cain to think about his choices. One lesson from this story for parents is “Don’t freak out!”

1:23:09 – Hidden meaning in the names of Cain and Abel. Their story can be read as a rivalry between two priesthoods.

1:28:00 – Through the Book of Mormon we see that the curse and the mark that was put on Cain can be understood as an absence of the Light of Christ or a dark countenance.

Welcome to Talking Scripture, I'm Mike, and I'm Bryce.

0:26.7

And today we are going to be in Genesis 3 and 4 and Moses 4 and 5.

0:31.2

Which is really the story of Adam and Eve and the beginning of their family.

0:35.0

But we're going to start by jumping back to pre-mortal life and the conflict that kind

0:39.8

of began between Lucifer and Jehovah and who's going to be the Messiah.

0:45.3

Now just a side note, one of my biggest pet peeves is sometimes in this church you hear

0:49.9

a plan.

0:56.4

That's a little blasphemous if you think about it.

0:59.2

That God didn't have a plan and didn't know what to do and said, hey, what do you guys

1:03.4

think we should do and that he got two people proposing plans?

1:07.6

That's false doctrine.

1:09.2

The father presented his plan in pre-mortal life.

1:12.5

Let's get the doctrine straight.

1:14.5

The father presented his plan which calls for a redeemer.

1:20.1

So the question on the table is, whom shall I send?

1:25.4
