Today we’re looking at a small portion of what he said beforehand to compare it with what our Lord says in His word. There’s no doubt his words are part of the reason why my people are always confused. To read his speech in full see link below.
Journal of Discourses 1:51 “It is true that the earth was organized by three distinct characters, namely, Eloheim, Yahovah, and Michael, these three forming a quorum, as in all heavenly bodies, and in organizing element, perfectly represented in the Deity, as Father, Son, and Holy Ghost.
Question —
Is Michael the Holy Ghost?
Earlier in this speech Mr. Young stated that Michael the Archangel is Adam.
Now Isaiah 9:6 gives a great description for many titles of God but none of them reveal God is Michael the Archangel! In fact, there are nine verses in the Bible that refer to Michael the Archangel and none of them say he’s Adam, or God.
Isaiah 9:6 “For unto us a child is born, unto us a son is given: and the government shall be upon his shoulder: and his name shall be called Wonderful, Counsellor, The mighty God, The everlasting Father, The Prince of Peace.”
Brigham went on to say…
… Jesus, our elder brother, was begotten in the flesh by the same character that was in the garden of Eden, and who is our Father in Heaven.
If Adam is our Father in Heaven, how can he also be Michael the Archangel? In closing for today here’s the last thing we’re looking at from Brigham’s pulpit –
Now, let all who may hear these doctrines, pause before they make light of them, or treat them with indifference, for they will prove their salvation or damnation. I have given you a few leading items upon this subject, but a great deal more remains to be told.” — Brigham Young, Great Salt Lake City, April 9, 1852.
Pray for Mormons to start questioning what their leaders teach today, and how the leaders got their info. Many times, it’s come from speeches like the one we’ve seen today.
With Love in Christ —
