Planning sessions? Tell me you are kidding DaveH
... Like God is a committee and needs input? Also my Bible says that the
Holy Spirit is the executor of the will of the Father and the Word who became
the Son. jt
DAVEH: FWIW.....I agree with what you explained below,
Blaine. But I've always thought LDS theology allows that Adam was a God
in the pre-mortal existence, inasmuch as he was one of the key players (as you
indicated below) who sat in on the planning sessions (so to speak) of the plan
of salvation, and then was a/the pivotal character in implementing the
gospel. Is that how you understand Adam's role/status, Blaine?

conversation!! Perry you are wrong when you say Mormons believe
Adam was both God-the-Father and Michael in the pre-existance.
It is clear and consistent in all Mormon doctrinal
treatesies on this subject that 1) The man Adam was Michael the
archangel in the pre-existence, 2) that Michael was third in order of
authority in the pre-existence. Both the Father and the Son were above
Michael in authority. Michael was the executive of the will of the
Father and the Son, you might say.

For example, don't mormons consider
