Nelson\u2019s talk, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.churchofjesuschrist.org\/study\/general-conference\/1987\/10\/lessons-from-eve?lang=eng\">\u201cLessons from Eve,\u201d<\/a> from October 1987.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;\">While growing up, I was taught that everything was Eve\u2019s fault. If she hadn\u2019t let herself be tricked by Satan women would all be in much better shape. Women blamed Eve. And men used Eve as an excuse to mistreat women.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;\">I believe only our church, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.comeuntochrist.org\/beliefs\">The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints<\/a>, has always worked toward setting the record straight. Our prophets have all spoken highly of Eve\u2019s sacrifice. And they have always recognized the importance the Fall is to the Plan of Salvation.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;\">Satan continues to influence people into thinking that there is a war going on between men and women. But this is just one of his many lies. We have to readjust our worldly thinking and see the war for what it really is.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;\">When the Family Proclamation came out, we didn\u2019t realize then what we realize now, that families are under attack. Satan is doing all he can to separate men and women. If he can disrupt families and marriage, and introduce the idea that two men or two women can find happiness, then he has succeeded in preventing Heavenly Father\u2019s children from coming to earth. That\u2019s it in a nutshell. Satan doesn\u2019t want children to be born and end up choosing Jesus again, over him.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;\">This is what Pres. Nelson said to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.churchofjesuschrist.org\/broadcasts\/article\/ces-devotionals\/2013\/01\/youth-of-the-noble-birthright-what-will-you-choose?lang=eng\">Young Single Adults<\/a> a few years ago:<\/span><\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 40px;\"><em><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;\">Your faith in Jesus Christ and His gospel will give you the courage to marry and to bring children into your family while you are young and able to have them. When you are my age, you will prize your children, your grandchildren, and their children above any fame or fortune that otherwise might have come.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/em><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;\">Eve was the one who made that choice. That <em>correct<\/em> choice. She opened the door for the Plan of Salvation to begin. Because of her action Heavenly Father\u2019s children can all come down to earth to receive their bodies and their eternal ordinances and choose their Savior, Jesus Christ.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;\">Some of you may be aware <a href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/Relief-Society-Brings-Women-Christ-ebook\/dp\/B0858GTRDZ\/ref=sr_1_4?keywords=relief+society&amp;qid=1585501531&amp;sr=8-4\">I just wrote a book<\/a>. In it, I mention a poem Eliza R. Snow wrote about how courageous Eve was and how she stands with holy honor throughout time because she ate the fruit first (it&#8217;s on pg. 68). After praising Eve for her courage and eternal glory, Eliza ends the poem with these words:<\/span><\/p>\n<div class=\"page\" title=\"Page 78\">\n<div class=\"layoutArea\">\n<div class=\"column\">\n<blockquote>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 40px;\"><em><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;\">What a psalm of everlasting praise to woman, that Eve fell first!<\/span><\/em><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;\">Eve, herself, confirms her own understanding of why she partook of the fruit in <a href=\"https:\/\/www.churchofjesuschrist.org\/study\/scriptures\/pgp\/moses\/5.11?lang=eng\">Moses 5:11.<\/a><\/span><\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 40px;\"><em><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;\">Were it not for our transgression we never should have had seed, and never should have known good and evil, and the joy of our redemption, and the eternal life which God giveth unto all the obedient.<\/span><\/em><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;\">In his 1987 talk, Elder Nelson says this, speaking to us women.<\/span><\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 40px;\"><em><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;\">We thank you as mothers or potential mothers for your partnership with God in providing life. Without women, the whole purpose of the creation of this world would be in vain.<\/span><\/em><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;\">He said this same thing again, <em>as our prophet,<\/em> just <a href=\"https:\/\/www.churchofjesuschrist.org\/study\/general-conference\/2019\/10\/36nelson?lang=eng\">last conference.<\/a><\/span><\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 40px;\"><em><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;\">Let me be very clear about this: if the world loses the moral rectitude of its women, the world will never recover.<\/span><\/em><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;\">Eve was truly inspired and insightful in her action to eat the fruit. It allowed all of us to be born. We honor her courage by marrying, having children, and teaching our children about our Savior, Jesus Christ.\u00a0<\/span><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;\">By following this eternal pattern, we too will be called courageous.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>This week, for my General Conference Odyssey post, I get to write about my thoughts from Russell M.

I am a wife, mother of six, and grandmother of six. Besides enjoying my research into the history of the Relief Society, I also read voraciously, make art quilts, and volunteer for too many things. I am also working on a Creative Writing degree from BYU\u2019s online program. Most of all, I have a testimony of the gospel of Jesus Christ.","sameAs":["https:\/\/reliefsocietywomen.com","Jan"],"url":"https:\/\/www.reliefsocietywomen.com\/blog\/author\/jtolman\/"}]}},"jetpack_featured_media_url":"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.reliefsocietywomen.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/adam-eve-teaching-children-82611-wallpaper.jpg?fit=2541%2C1600&ssl=1","jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.reliefsocietywomen.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/11173","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.reliefsocietywomen.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.reliefsocietywomen.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.reliefsocietywomen.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.reliefsocietywomen.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=11173"}],"version-history":[{"count":3,"href":"https:\/\/www.reliefsocietywomen.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/11173\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":11176,"href":"https:\/\/www.reliefsocietywomen.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/11173\/revisions\/11176"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.reliefsocietywomen.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/11177"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.reliefsocietywomen.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=11173"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.reliefsocietywomen.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=11173"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.reliefsocietywomen.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=11173"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
