Something anti-Mormons like to pretend Brigham Young once (repeatedly) taught.

The "Adam-God" doctrine taught that Heavenly Father (a.k.a. Elohim) was actually the Biblical Adam. In other words, Adam, after having lived in the Garden of Eden, eventually achieved Eternal Exaltation and got to become a God. According to the "Adam-God" doctrine, Adam is, in fact, our God.

Something that TBM scholars are willing to concede Brigham Young probably
DID teach. You need to read up on this subject before you imply such a denial.

Hi Mike. I'd be very interested in reading up on this. What do you recommend?
Thanks!

The sermon which has started it:
SALVATION - A DISCOURSE DELIVERED BY PRESIDENT BRIGHAM YOUNG, IN THE TABERNACLE, GREAT SALT LAKE CITY, JANUARY 16, 1853. wrote:Now hear it, O inhabitants of the earth, Jew and Gentile, Saint and sinner! When our father Adam came into the garden of Eden, he came into it with a celestial body, and brought Eve, one of his wives, with him. He helped to make and organize this world. He is MICHAEL, the Archangel, the ANCIENT OF DAYS! about whom holy men have written and spoken - He is our FATHER andour GOD, and the only God with whom WE have to do.

In a somewhat different but related issue, Paul calls Jesus Christ the "Second Adam" in one of his epistles in the Bible.

The deliberate misspelling of my name cuts me deeply. I think the last person before you to do it was in elementary school. Bringing back such horrible memories of my tormentors....no wait....it was memories of their patheticism.
