MICHAEL–THE CREATOR, Chapter 7 of Michael Adam on the Adam God Doctrine 

 

Pages 68 to 71

 

If Adam (Michael) was an exalted being, it follows then that he was the creator of this earth–instructed by his God and assisted by his brethren. Brigham Young declared:

 

We say that Father Adam came here and helped to make an earth. Who is He? He is Michael, a great Prince, and it was said to him by Elohim, “Go ye and make an earth.” What is the great mystery about it? He came and formed the earth. * * * Adam came here and got it up in shape that would suit him to commence business. What is the great mystery about it? None that I have seen. The mystery in this, as with miracles, or anything else, is only to those who are ignorant. (Des. News 22:308)

EVE THE MOTHER OF ALL LIVING, Chapter 6 of Michael Adam on the Adam God Doctrine

Few enough are the scriptural references to precious women, but among those mentioned, Eve should be the most honored–“the mother of all living” of a world–performing the mission assigned to her, with all the honor and dignity that could be ascribed to her. Brigham Young gives her more honor than just being the first woman upon the earth–for he spoke of her mission in the pre-existence:

 

And Eve, our common mother, who is the mother of all living, bore these spirits in the Celestial world, and then this earth was organized by Elohim, Jehovah, and Michael, who is Adam, our common Father.

Adam and Eve had the privilege to continue the work of progression, consequently came to this earth and commenced the great work of forming tabernacles for those spirits to dwell in. (Brigham Young, L. John Nuttall Journal, 1:19)

 

Surprising as this may sound, this doctrine solves a considerable mystery behind the very veil of creation. If Adam is the Father of our spirits and bodies, it is only reasonable that Eve is the mother.

 

And Adam called his wife’s name Eve; because she was the mother of all living. (Gen. 3:20)

ADAM FATHER OF OUR SPIRITS, Chapter 5 of Michael Adam of the Adam God Doctrine.

Pages 52 to 59

 

The fall of Adam was the transgression of a physical law of nature. His fall was from immortality to mortality–from the celestial to the earthly. With a celestial resurrected body, he had engendered spirit children–now he had incorporated blood into his body so that he could beget physical, mortal bodies for those spirits to possess. He descended to mortality so that his children would have the opportunity of ascending to immortality.

 

If Adam was an immortal, celestial, resurrected being, then he was an exalted man. Since resurrected beings can produce only spirit children, then Adam must have made an extreme condescension to become mortal. By partaking of the seeds of death through the fall, he was accomplishing a necessary venture to produce physical bodies for those spirit children born to him in the spirit world. The sermons by many of the leading elders of the Church declared that Adam was the father of both our spirit and mortal bodies, for example:

 

We have not the power in the flesh to create and bring forth or produce a spirit; but we have the power to produce a temporal body. The germ of this, God has placed within us. And when our spirits receive our bodies, and through our faithfulness we are worthy to be crowned, we will then receive authority to produce both spirit and body. (Brigham Young, JD 15:137)

THE LAW OF PROPAGATION, Chapter 4 of Michael Adam of The Adam God Doctrine

There is a law, irrevocably decreed in heaven before the foundations of this world, upon which all blessings are predicated–And when we obtain any blessing from God, it is by obedience to that law upon which it is predicated. (D & C 130:20-21)

 

The laws of mathematics, science, and of propagation are eternal in their nature. Shortcuts by disobedience cannot produce similar results in these or in any of the works of God.

 

But it is hard to get the people to believe that God is a scientific character, that He lives by science or strict law, that by this He is, and by law He was made what He is; and will remain to all eternity because of His faithful adherence to law. It is a most difficult thing to make the people believe that . . . He is their Author. Our Spirits are His; He begot them. We are his children; He set the machine in motion to produce our tabernacles. (Brigham Young, JD 13:306)

 

The law of propagation is not an exception, and all living things must come forth by the law of reproduction through the seed of its own type and kind. Plants, insects, fowls, animals, and man, must reproduce their own species through obedience to this eternal and unchangeable law.

BLOOD AND MORTALITY, Chapter 3 of Michael Adam

 

Pages 29 to 35

To read along: https://fundamentallymormon.tumblr.com/post/671275667871137792/blood-and-mortality-chapter-3-of-michael-adam

The basis of understanding the Adam-God doctrine consists of comprehending the nature of the fall. This doctrine simply explains the changing of an immortal body to a mortal body. When a resurrected immortal being partakes of the coarse and corporal elements of the earth, the fluid in their veins is induced with the seeds of mortality or death, which is in the blood. Blood is strictly a mortal fluid and its composition of mortal or temporal ingredients is obtained by eating earthly elements. When a person partakes of the tree of “good and evil,” he is partaking of the tree of mortality and death. Since the fruit and food of the earth come from vegetation, which is subject to only a few years of life, then any body which is charged with these properties will also become subject to death. Food from Mother Earth, in her present state, will produce blood within a mortal or immortal body.

THE GREAT ANNOUNCEMENT, Chapter 2 of Michael/Adam

 Pages 12 to 28

In the same year that plural marriage was publicly announced, President Brigham Young introduced another new doctrine. It concerned the Godhead and was soon to be spoken of as the “Adam-God doctrine”.

 

Even though plural marriage had not been very well received, perhaps even fewer members accepted this new concept in regard to Adam’s deified sphere. This famous public announcement later became re-interpreted, declared a mystery, or a false theory, or was claimed to be a misquote–some even denying that it was ever taught by him.

 

Long an item of speculation, the existence and role of Adam has been misunderstood and de-emphasized by world religions. The National Council of Churches apparently considered Adam to be the least understood, if not the least respected of all the ancients. More on the facetious side, it was reported that–

A film on the fall of man that omits Eve and portrays Adam as getting the apple from a vending machine won a $300 prize for five high school students of St. James United Church of Christ, Havertown, PA., in a National Council of Churches film-making contest whose theme was “technology and human values.” (The Christian Herald, June 1972, p. 13)

Neither is the man without the woman, neither the woman without the man in the Lord. (I Cor. 11:11) When Jesus was alive, general public opinion was in error about His divine mission. Today it is in error concerning His marital status. The concept of His celibacy was promoted by celibates and became popular through the mother church of Catholicism. Celibate priests believed that unmarried men were more righteous than those who were married. But Jesus advocated the laws of Judaism, not the alien apostate doctrines that were influencing the early Christian church. The Apostle Paul warned the Church against these influences, but their ultimate victory over true Christian doctrines is evident.To any reader of the Bible it is obvious that God’s first law to man was to be fruitful and multiply, and the first marriage of record was solemnized by God Himself. Never has He, from that day to this, promoted or advocated the laws of celibacy nor barrenness for righteous men and women. Believing that Jesus was married, according to divine law, is logical and reasonable. Propagation of species is a law of nature. It is a divine principle ordained for all living things. Can it be sanctioned in the lives of animals, plants, fowls and fish, and not for mankind? Yet it is considered by some to be too base, carnal and sinful for Christ and His disciples.

The true Messiah spoken of by all the ancient prophets was the personification and representation of all that is true and noble. One of man’s most honorable estates is that of marriage and his family. The very thought of singleness and barrenness is generally repulsive and certainly not according to God’s law which commands mankind to “be fruitful, and multiply, and replenish the earth.” (Gen. 1:28) Living things are designed to grow and be productive. One of the most popular misconceptions about Jesus was His manliness. The common Christian has been taught about a Jesus with a femininity which is embarrassing if not revolting to anyone who understands His true character. The real Messiah labored and toiled with a genuine manly dignity. He walked many miles; He climbed and preached upon the mountainsides; He ate the most common food—and that among the poorest publicans and the worst of sinners. He wielded a whip across the backs of temple thieves and overturned their tables. Then with a dignity, majesty, and inner self-control that demanded the utmost strength, He silently and patiently withstood the beatings, the spitting and the sordid insults of a depraved humanity. Finally, He carried a burdensome cross through sweat and blood on the road to Calvary and suffered a tortuous death between two thieves.

THE ANCIENT PRACTICE OF PLURAL MARRIAGE, Chapter 7 of Jesus was Married 

 

Pages 52 to 78

 

Jesus defended and honored His lineage through the grand patriarch Abraham. Is it possible that Jesus would sustain the life of that great prophet, but not the laws and principles that made him great? Throughout the ministry of Jesus and His disciples there is not one word of denunciation against the principle of marriage or plural marriage. Certainly they were aware of such scriptures in the Old Testament as, “If he take him another wife, her food, her raiment, and her duty of marriage, shall he not diminish.” (Exodus 21:10) Yet He made no change in these instructions. Rather he advocated men to “do the works of Abraham” to be worthy of being Abraham’s seed.

It is not presumptuous to assume that Jesus had lived plural marriage—it had always been a law among the prophets of Israel. Jesus was to obey those laws—not to destroy them—but to show mankind how to live a fullness of all of the laws of God and the Gospel. His answer to Satan when tempted was “to live by every word that proceedeth out of the mouth of God;”
