Adam-God Theory

There is evidence that Brigham taught that Adam, the first man, was God the Father. Since this teaching runs counter to the story told in Genesis critics accuse Brigham of being a false prophet. Since modern Latter-day Saints do not believe Brigham's "Adam-God" teachings, critics also accuse us of either changing our teachings or rejecting the teachings of prophets that we find uncomfortable or unsupportable.

Both charges are serious and both charges have some merit. Addressing this will not be as simple as dismissing most of the claims we have addressed so far. Followers of this blog know that we often require several posts to tell the whole story of both our critics and my reply. This will be no different. Stay tuned!
