Women of Mormondom, p. 191; “Brightest among these spirits, and nearest in the circle to our Father and Mother in heaven (the Father being Adam), were Seth, Enoch, Noah, and Abraham, Moses, David, and Jesus Christ…Among these the Mormon faith would rank Joseph Smith, Brigham Young and their compeers…
These are the sons and daughters of Adam‑the Ancient of Days‑the Father and God of the whole human family. These are the sons and daughters of Michael, who is Adam, the father of the spirits of all our race. These are the sons and daughters of Eve, the Mother of a world.” – Eliza Roxcy Snow
This book was written in 1877 and I have to say it ranks as one of the most heretical things I’ve witnessed within Mormonism.
At first glance my motherly instinct was to feel sorrow for the “poor women” who’d been tricked into believing the lies of Smith and company. However, upon further investigation of this epical tirade of heresies my opinion shifted.
This woman and her counterparts who were involved in this grand fiasco announced every lie they possibly could about the Lord and the contents of the Bible. Let’s take a look at how many lies we see in this small section alone.
1. There’s no mother in heaven.
2. There’s no pre-existence.
3. Adam is not God.
4. Joseph Smith doesn’t rank amongst the great heroes of the faith like Moses, David, Jeremiah, et al.
5. Adam is not the Ancient of Days; Jesus is!
6. Adam is not the God of the whole human family – elohim is!
7. We are not sons and daughters of Adam.
8. Adam is not the father of our spirits.
9. Eve is not the Mother of a world in the sense she’s spoken of here.
10.Adam is not Michael the Archangel.
