- Adam–God_doctrine abstract "The Adam–God doctrine (or Adam–God theory) was a theological doctrine taught in mid-19th century Mormonism by Brigham Young. Although rejected today by The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (LDS Church), the doctrine is still an accepted part of the modern theology of some forms of Mormon fundamentalism. According to Young, he was taught by Joseph Smith that Adam is "our Father and our God, and the only God with whom we have to do".According to the doctrine, Adam was once a mortal man who became resurrected and exalted. From another planet, Adam brought Eve, one of his wives, with him to the earth, where they became mortal by eating the forbidden fruit in the Garden of Eden. After bearing mortal children and establishing the human race, Adam and Eve returned to their heavenly thrones where Adam serves as the god of this world. Later, Adam returned to the earth to become the literal father of Jesus.During Young's life, elements of the Adam–God doctrine were taught in LDS Church meetings, sung in church hymns, and featured as part of the church's endowment ceremony. However, the doctrine was startling to Mormons when it was introduced, and it remained controversial. Several other Mormon leaders, the most vocal being apostle Orson Pratt, rejected the doctrine in favor of other theological ideas. Soon after Young's death in 1877, the Adam–God doctrine fell out of favor within the LDS Church and was replaced by a theology more similar to that of Pratt, as codified by turn-of-the century Mormon theologians James E. Talmage, B. H. Roberts, and John A. Widtsoe. In 1976, LDS Church president Spencer W. Kimball stated that the church does not support the doctrine. Presently, most Mormons accept Adam as "the Ancient of Days and father of all" but do not recognize him as being God the Father.".
