“Deceit is often most effective when blended with truth” (McConkie and Millet, Doctrinal Commentary, 1:197). President Brigham Young said: “The devil had truth in his mouth as well as lies when he came to Mother Eve. … She did eat, her eyes were opened, and she saw good and evil. She gave of the fruit to her husband, and he ate, too. What would have been the consequence if he had not done so? They would have been separated, and where would we have been? I am glad [they] did eat” (in Journal of Discourses, 12:70).
