The Adam-God Doctrine
The Adam-God Doctrine
Dennis A. Wright, DMin
In Mormonism, the Adam–God Doctrine was a doctrine taught by Joseph Smith, Brigham Young and other early leaders of the LDS Church. The doctrine states that Adam was actually God the Father, that he came to this earth with an immortal, celestial and resurrected body, along with Eve, one of his wives.
Mormonism’s Adam-God Doctrine
John Farkas
Adam-God theory/teachings/doctrine are names given to an alleged teaching by Brigham Young, the second president and prophet of the Mormon Church.

It is also alleged that later Prophets Wilford Woodruff and Joseph F. Smith, supported this teaching.

The Adam-God Doctrine
David John Buerger

He is MICHAEL, the Archangel, the ANCIENT OF DAYS! about whom holy men have written and spoken—He is our Father and our God, and the only God with whom we have to do. From Dialogue (a Mormon source) so be a Berean!
