| | Mormonism 201: Chapter 5 The Fall |
 | | As a result of all of this, the Bible clearly indicates that Adam and Eve would have been able to procreate prior to the Fall, not that it was impossible until after they had disobeyed God. |
 | | Graham continues, "If Adam and Eve had remained obedient, they would have made God a liar, since without the fall, there would be no need for Jesus Christ to be slain before the fall ever took place."22 This statement is confusing. |
 | | Graham comments on Tatian, saying: "Furthermore, the connection between the transgression and sexual knowledge is attested by Tatian, an early Christian apologist."39 However, Tatian took a very low view of sexual relations overall, seeing virginity and celibacy as more pleasing to God. |
