Mom, to be fair, the LDS church has never officially adopted the "Adam is God" doctrine. I think that most LDS members were as shocked by Brigham Young's statements about it as anyone would have been. It is not taught now and it was not taught 35 years ago, when I was still a member. For purposes of these discussions (specifically the reaction to the above sermon) the Adam/god doctrine is a diversion. I'd like to see this thing stay on topic, or else it will deteriorate into a "he said-she said" shouting match.

Lets all stick to the issue at hand. What does the Bible have to say about whether or not there is a plurality of Gods? What does the bible say about the nature of our God. Was he once a man before he became God?

Well I didn't see it as off topic as we were talking about the " godhead" and number of gods Mormons believe in..Just one side question..wasn't Young considered a prophet? As such he would not be able to err..so how can they just ignore that?

What does the Bible have to say about whether or not there is a plurality of Gods?

 Gen. 1:26 
¶ And God said, Let us make man in our image, after our likeness: and let them have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over the cattle, and over all the earth, and over every creeping thing that creepeth upon the earth.

Gen. 3:22 
¶ And the LORD God said, Behold, the man is become as one of us, to know good and evil: and now, lest he put forth his hand, and take also of the tree of life, and eat, and live for ever:

Gen. 11:7 
Go to, let us go down, and there confound their language, that they may not understand one another's speech.

Or does God just think that using the "royal 'we'" is the cat's meow?

I think that what Joseph says himself covers what the Bible says about it quite well in his sermon.
