This only strengthens the point that God, our Creator, knew exactly what was going to happen in the garden of Eden.There is no commandment to "cleave".....the bible only says "24 For this reason a man will"
And Adam said, This is now bone of my bones, and flesh of my flesh: she shall be called Woman, because she was taken out of Man.
Therefore shall a man leave his father and his mother, and shall cleave unto his wife: and they shall be one flesh.
God knew Adam would not leave Eve any more than he could expect Adam to cut his own leg off.
Christians generally don't believe in pre-mortality. But it's worth asking, if men, as spirits, knew how hard mortality was going to be, would they have chosen it of their own free will and choice? The same question could be posed in contemplating marriage, or having kids.
My guess is that they probably wouldn't. If they did it would be a major act of faith IMO. God had to set up a scenario so that Adam would choose life of humanity, even at the expense of his own, not even knowing of the backup plan at the time he made the choice.
Well, if you understand how biology works there is something to said about being aware of nakedness and sexual arousal.The bible also doesn't say Adam had to first sin before he could via the fall...cleave to his wife.....The Satanic mormon belief does.
But hey, apparently you have all the answers somewhere of how everything worked prior to the fall that make you right and me wrong. When you're willing to share your source please let me know. In the meantime, I'm just continue to remind you that your making a the fallacy of an argument from absence.
