Mormon Dilemma 848 Eliza Snow’s Gods of Mormonism

Women of Mormondom, 179, 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 – indeed that glorious cohort of men and women, whose lives have left immortal records in the world’s history. … 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. What a practical Unitarianism is this! The Christ is not dragged from his heavenly estate, to be mere mortal, but mortals are lifted up to his celestial plane. He is still the God-Man; but he is one among many brethren who are also God-Men. Moreover, Jesus is one of a grand order of Saviours. Every world had its distinctive Saviour, and every dispensation its Christ. There is a glorious Masonic scheme among the Gods. The everlasting orders come down to us with their mystic and official names. The heavens and the earths have a grand leveling; not by pulling down celestial spheres, but by lifting up of mortal spheres.” – Edward Tullidge & Eliza R. Snow

Deuteronomy 6:4; “Hear, O Israel: The LORD our God is one LORD”.

Eliza Snow was Joseph Smith’s widow and the 10^th wife of Brigham Young.

The Church lauds the work of Eliza to this day promoting her as someone to emulate in the Church’s Relief Society. She was the 2^nd president of the RS and held onto a strict belief that women also held a priestess position in God’s kingdom. 

A cursory glance over the things she said above should be enough information to make any Christian think twice before adopting her as a role model! It’s odd the Church still holds firm to extolling this woman when half the things she said in this example are teachings the Church no longer adheres to. You can read more about Eliza Snow here.

Sadly Mormons don’t realize that by teaching these things Jesus is indeed dragged down to the level of man contrary to what Ms. Snow said here and man is exalted to the heavens.

How could each world have its own distinct savior if the Savior Himself created all of them? Colossians 1:15-16.  

How could Adam possibly be Michael the Archangel if he was made from the dust of the ground?  

How could Adam be God if he was created in the Garden of Eden by God?

How could Adam be the Ancient of Days if that title belongs to Jesus?

How could men be God-Men if there’s only one God?

How could there be a Mother in Heaven if God isn’t married?
