Study Manual The Plan of Salvation, What is My Purpose in Life “Our Heavenly Father gave Adam and Eve agency, or freedom to choose. 
Many aspects of life bring happiness, and some bring sorrow. These experiences help you learn to distinguish between good and evil and to make correct choices.
God influences you to do good and to follow Him, while Satan tempts you to ignore God and commit sin. (Sin is knowingly choosing to do wrong or not to do right.) When you choose to follow God and keep His commandments, you grow in wisdom and strength of character…” [Retrieved Oct. 1, 2020] [emp. added]
1 John 1:8 “If we say that we have no sin, we deceive ourselves, and the truth is not in us.”
We retrieved the LDS reference above from their info page, which is basically an introduction explaining who they are, and what they believe. It used to be found on Mormon.org, but with Nelson’s orders to preface everything with the full name of their church, it has since changed.
Today we have a few questions about their info page –
If the Lord commanded them not to eat from the tree of knowledge, how could it be part of His plan for them to eat of it?
Why wasn’t living in perfect harmony with the Lord enough?
Why did they need to progress? By virtue of simply being alive, they were already gaining experience.
The text also says, ‘Sin is knowingly choosing to do wrong or not to do right’. This contradicts their past teachings when they’ve claimed sin, and transgression, aren’t the same thing. See posts on this topic at Transgression is Sin, Sin is not Transgression.
Lastly beloved, why would God want to be separated from His creation?
Why did he sanction sin, if sin is evil? Wouldn’t this mean their god is evil?
If you’re LDS, what are your thoughts about this?
Please, if you’re a Christian, pray for those in the Church to leave, and come to know the real Jesus of the Bible!
With Love in Christ;
