if they weren't tempted then the cause of taking things wouldn't take place or the fact that everyday someone's live is being taken away from them... Cain wouldn't have killed his brother abel. tempted wouldn't happen

There is no other way. If you read the Book of Mormon it tells you that the plan was to eventually give man the ability to make his own decisions to choose between right and wrong. These decisions would give us the knowledge and experieces we need to be well rounded people who will hopefully choose to walk the path toward God. Without that choice how would we really learn anything?

Greetings, You have an interesting question(s). What if Adam and Eve were not tempted? I have to admit I have not thought or seen this question being ask before. But what I can say is for sure is sin would not of existed. Though it wouldn't mean that there wouldn't be someone else later on which ultimately might have been tempted and sin would exist as it does now. So I went back over the scriptures in Genesis and knowing God's first intention for mankind which was to have a relationship with us we would indeed feel like we would be in paradise. Sin would not of come between us and God. We would also be able to walk with God as Adam did. Also according to scripture God blessed man and female and said to be "fruitful and multiply". God said this before the fall of man not after. So this gets me to thinking that they were to produce families which would also be without sin and have a relationship with God as well. However, Adam was first fore worned by God about the "tree of knowledge of good and evil" not to eat of that tree. So by imagining how the world would be, is to think about how the world would be without sin. I believe it would be amazing to be that close to God and have no concern of anything around us. Praise the Lord! There will come a day when there will be a new heaven and a new earth. Truly looking forward to be apart of it. I hope I have help in some way. Have a wonderful and blessed day.

Well if you are an Old Testament believer then you may say that there might be a huge effect in our daily life if this temptation of Adam and Eve never happen. But if this happened then God himself have good reason why he allowed this things to happen. But if we put it in a scientific side of point of view, then it will be different story.

We would all still be Adam and/or Eve, living lushfully and loving 'lishfully' (which I don't think is a word ... but probably would be, as happy as we would be together) Maybe it would be boring, all-happy-loving-lishful-laughing all the time; but we wouldn't know the opposite of lishful, so we wouldn'tr care. P.S. 'lishful' ROTFLOL

Hello, I was thinking that if Adam and Eve did not disobey God we would have a peaceful world. We all would live forever. It is better that we have peace because we all could go out whenever we please day or night knowing that we would be safe.

We should accept it as a symbolic representation of temptations. It has so much of relevance on these days.

If they aren't tempted I guess were still in bountiful state. Wherein foods aren't problem, money is never created and clothes to worry in day to day living. And last we all go to heaven.

I think basing it from the teachings of the bible, what they ate was the fruit of knowledge, that's why they immediately knew that they did not have clothes on so they hid themselves from God, so I guess if they did not eat it we would all be innocent and there will be no fall of man so we will still be living in paradise. There's another fruit of life but God placed an Angel to guard it, had they eaten it too , man would not die. Genesis 3:1-24

Are far as I know, God had allowed it to give Adam and Eve the wisdom of righteousness. If this didn't happened, then we will not be born into this world and Adam and Eve will not be able to produce our ancient ancestors.

If viewed from the point of any religion course many version of an explanation. I think do now to try to enjoy life with all what we have. life is too short to spend it with a sad and complain.
