Brigham Young taught, "Elohim, Yahova & Michael, were father, Son and grandson. They made this Earth & Michael became Adam" Joseph F. Smith Journal, 17 June 1871
 
"The Father frequently came to visit his son Adam, and talked and walked with him; and the children of Adam were more or less acquainted with their Grandfather, and their children were more or less acquainted with their Great-Grandfather . . ." (Journal of Discourses 9:148, 12 Jan. 1862).
 
If men are to become gods Men should Follow Adam & women are to follow Eve
BUT One must never believe that Adam ever actually accomplished his godhood?
Even if he was partner with Elohim and Jehovah?
Where was the Holy Ghost, what was he doing during this time?
Why the substitution of Michael/Adam?
 
Who is this Father - Son - GrandSON TRINITY?

David , in other posts of the day,  I find you saying that yoou and Torrance are in agreement concerninglogic.    I may ahve misunderstood your wording, but that was what you said according to my perspective. 
 
Below you say this:
 
If you define "rationalist" in the more esoteric sense of the idea that
reason is the source of truth, then I do not believe the Holy Spirit is a
rationalist.  By this definition, I am not a rationalist either.  However, I
do believe that the Holy Spirit is rational.  He also does not lie or employ
deception to mislead others.  The Holy Spirit uses rational thought to speak
to us, and he expects us to include rationality as a basis of belief and
action.             ---------- DM
 
Torrance might give caution with these words: 
 
".............. we should seek to understand Christ, not by way of observational deductions from his appearances, but in the light of what he is in himself in his internal relations with God, that is, in terms of his intrinsic significance disclosed through his self-witness and self-communication to us in word and deed and reflected through the evangelical tradition of the Gospel in the medium which he created for this purpose in the apostolic foundation of the Church  ......  When we adopt this kind of approach, whether in natural science or in theology, we find that progress in understanding is necessarily circular.  We develop a form of inquiry in which we allow some field of reality to disclose itself to us in the complex of its internal relations or its latent structure, and thus seek to understand it in the light of its own intrinsic intelligibility or logos ..............Thus we seek to understand something, not by schematising it to an external or alien framework of thought, but by operating wit h a framework of thought appropriate to it"  -------The Mediation of Christ  pp 4,5
