The free will of Adam and Eve

[bzkoss236]

Before he created Adam and Eve he knew they were going to disobey. So if his intent was different than what he knew Adam and Eve would do, then why create them? Why not start over with an Adam that would by his own free will choose not to disobey? Seems simple to me

If your child was disobedient, would you kill your child and have a new one with your spouse until you had one that was obedient?

I’m not trying to stir things up, just this reminded me of something someone once said.

“There is no true Latter-day Saint who would not rather bury a son or a daughter than to have him or her lose his or her chastity – realizing that chastity is of more value than anything else in all the world.” - Prophet Heber J. Grant, Gospel Standards, complied by G. Homer Durham, p. 55

I think I’ve heard that somewhere before too.
