One of the great truths of the Restoration is that all of the ordinances necessary for a child of God to complete the path of salvation has been available and frequently taught from the beginning. The rags of scripture that we have left paint the illusion that God has been playing some type of game with Lucifer, and that we are the pawns. Nothing could be further from the truth. Where the Gospel of Jesus Christ is clearly taught, all of Lucifer’s lies work toward man’s good to prove and stretch us. For this reason, the Gospel was plainly taught in the beginning to Adam. Now that is not to say that God did a massive brain dump on Adam, and his righteous posterity, all at once. No, the gospel was revealed as it is revealed now, line-upon-line and precept-on-precept. As Adam received and practiced the truths given, more and more was poured out until he had a fullness. In his day the planets above served as mighty signs, like a flannel board story in Sunday School, used to teach higher truths. The stars and the planets overhead served as symbols and lessons of greater truths.
