Well you think that man is not the son of God of the Most High as I have said over and over....
As far as Brigham Young a theory is not scripture just one ponderings!
I remind all
a prophet was only a prophet when acting as such.

You are correct. I do not believe that mankind is naturally born sons of God. The Bible tells us that. The Bible also tells us that by believing in Christ’s sacrifice for our sins, we BECOME (by adoption) sons of God.
Who are you to say if what BY said is scripture or not? Millions of faithful LDS lived and died believing BY’s doctrine that Adam was God. What about them? Do they make it to the CK, or are they now apostates? BY was acting as prophet when he taught it.
“I say now, when they [his discourses] are copied and approved by me they are as good Scripture as is couched in this Bible . . . “ (Journal of Discourses, vol. 13, p. 264; see also p. 95).
“A prophet is only a prophet when acting as such” is very convenient way to set aside the problems of LDS doctrine.
So when exactly is Monson acting as Prophet, and when is he speaking as a man? Do you know? Does any LDS know?
(crickets)
Oh and one more BY quote about his teaching being scripture:
“I know just as well what to teach this people and just what to say to them and what to do in order to bring them into the celestial kingdom...I have never yet preached a sermon and sent it out to the children of men, that they may not call Scripture. Let me have the privilege of correcting a sermon, and it is as good Scripture as they deserve. The people have the oracles of God continually.” (Journal of Discourses, vol. 13, p. 95).
I was taught the Adam/God doctrine at BYU and know many LDS who still believe/teach it.
And just by what STANDARD does the LDS Organization® USE to determine which is which?
