When we talked about Creation I quoted from a talk by Elder McConkie called the Three Pillars of Eternity. This week we are talking about another pillar: the Fall. Before I share what Elder McConkie said about it, this week I went searching for some of the other version of the fall to contrast what they believe and what we believe. What I found was that sometimes, we have more in common than we think.
