Serg Posted October 13, 2006 Report Posted October 13, 2006 <div class='quotemain'>I somehow doubt that Ray has actually read Brigham Youngs sermons on the Adam-god stuff. Perhaps he read JD 1:50, but he apparently hasn't read the other dozen sermons where he explained or infered the teaching. I mentioned this somewhere before, but for your benefit I will now repeat it: I've read all the discourses from Brigham Young... or at least all the ones he wrote or had written after he became a President of the Church.I simply disagree with some people's interpretation of what he taught. I know what he taught, and meant.And to put it all in a nutshell for you, Jason, and anyone else who is interesting in hearing what I think, I know Brigham knew Adam was and would be someone with whom all of us have and will have to do... because he was given a position of seniority over all the rest of us... exempting only our Lord and His Father who is in heaven... among all those we know and those we will know are our fatherS who are in heaven.And that is my story and I'm still stickin to it... regardless of what others may think. :) Ray; you only "know" what young taught as you see it fit, because you interpret it from the conservative(mere mormon) way, there is no single possibility in your head that Adam could be god right? also, no possibility(according to ACTUAL!!!!!teachings) that Young(or any respectable member) would come up with such an absurd doctrine, hence, everything that might(logically) in Young's discourse lead you to believe he taught such absurdity, you(unconciously) fit into the actual mold of thinking doctrine, and thuis you find it not absurd at all, and in fact, not related at all to our clear interpretation of it. Moreover, it matters not if you got it right ot=r us, as to this thread concerns, but it matters how such a belief can make it to official or coherent belief among mormons(as L.H) as to be accepted also by us. Plainly put, we are reviewing this doctrine, not estavlishing necessarily who proposed it. It matters not. Quote
