The Fall was an intentional, merciful aspect of the plan of salvation, authored by our loving Heavenly Father.
The creation helps us see God’s power, find evidence of his reality, and feel his love.
We need to understand the nature of God. That requires study, and revelation through the Holy Ghost.
Contemplating the plan of salvation can help us find answers to difficult questions, and better understand gospel doctrines.
A myopic focus on only one aspect of the gospel limits our ability to fully comprehend the plan of salvation.
The Book of Mormon was translated from April to June of 1829. What does that tell us about the book?
Many first-hand witnesses who observed Joseph Smith translating the Book of Mormon testified of what they saw and heard.
Joseph Smith copied characters from the plates, perhaps thinking that someone else would translate the record.
After Joseph Smith obtained the plates, mobs tried to forcefully take them, causing Joseph and Emma to leave Palmyra.
