The Book of Mormon teaches that black skin is a sign of God’s curse, so that white-skinned people are considered morally and spiritually superior to black skinned people (2 Nephi 5:21). The Book of Mormon teaching that these divine commands are contradictory, and that God expected Adam and Eve to figure out that in reality He wanted them to break the latter command ('of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil, thou shalt not eat of it') in order to keep the former ('be fruitful and multiply'), has no basis in logic or the Biblical text, and attributes equivocation to God.ģ. There is no Biblical support for the view that Adam and Eve could only fulfill the command to 'be fruitful and multiply' (Genesis 1:28) by disobeying God’s command regarding the forbidden fruit (Genesis 2:17). In contrast, the Bible specifically declares that Adam’s transgression was a sinful act of rebellion that unleashed the power of sin and death in the human heart and throughout God’s perfect world (Genesis 3:16-19 Romans 5:12 8:20-21). The Book of Mormon teaches that the disobedience of Adam and Eve in eating the forbidden fruit was necessary so that they could have children and bring joy to mankind (2 Nephi 2:23-25). (This does not mean that those who die in infancy are lost. In contrast, the Bible in Psalm 51:5 clearly teaches that we have sinful nature from birth: 'Surely I was sinful at birth, sinful from the time my mother conceived me' (NIV). The Book of Mormon teaches that little children are not capable of sin because they do not have a sinful nature (Moroni 8:8). 'The contradictions between the Book of Mormon and the Bible constitute a most serious obstacle to accepting the Book of Mormon as Latter-day scripture supplemental to the Bible.'ġ.
