"We denounce that theory [Adam-God] and hope that everyone will be cautioned against this and other kinds of false doctrine." My Name Is Spencer W. Kimball & I'm A Mormon...

In October 1976 general conference, Spencer W. Kimball declared the Church's official position on Adam-God:

We warn you against the dissemination of doctrines which are not according to the Scriptures and which are alleged to have been taught by some of the General Authorities of past generations. Such, for instance, is the Adam-God theory. We denounce that theory and hope that everyone will be cautioned against this and other kinds of false doctrine.

Spencer W. Kimball, "Our Own Liahona," Ensign (November 1976)

###

Can anybody tell me just where is the "disconnect" within the brains of TBM's regarding these two so-called "Prophets of god" being at odds with each other???

Or so it seems to me...

We've always been at war with Eastasia, didn't you know?

Alleged to have been taught?

Adam-God was definitely taught. Now SWK's pretending maybe it really wasn't?

He must have taken"I don't Know we teach that 101" with Hinckley.

Those would make excellent videos

Show clips or text of some of the crazier/evil things Mormon leaders have said and then close with, "My name is [insert leader], and I'm a Mormon."

I love these threads, DunnThat!

So... a Mormon Prophet is capable of preaching false doctrine! SWK admits this is true of Brigham Young!
