Adam Created by the Gods

 August 8 — Adam Created by the Gods. Encyclopedia of Mormonism, p. 15 “Latter-day scriptures attest that Adam is a son of God, that his physical body was created by the Gods in their own image and placed in the Garden of Eden (Moses 6:9, 22; Abr. 5:7-11; TPJS, p. 345-53; cf. 2 Ne. 2:14-19).”

Genesis 1:26 “And God said, Let us make man in our image, after our likeness: and let them have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over the cattle, and over all the earth, and over every creeping thing that creepeth upon the earth.” [emp. added]

Us in the Hebrew is ‘elohim’ which actually has 3 meanings.

1. The fullness or deity of God (Gen. 1:26).
2. Rulers, kings, princes (Ps. 82:6).
3. Pagan gods (1 Sam. 28:13).

Mormons call their heavenly father by the name of Elohim.

Since they don’t believe in the Trinity they can’t believe in the fullness or deity of God.

This leaves the Mormon with only one option of their Elohim. Pagan gods.

Their explanation in the Encyclopedia of Mormonism confirms this.

Ask a Mormon if they believe there’s more than one God. If they say yes ask how many there are and if they know their names. Also explain how believing that there’s more than one God it makes them polytheists.

Please pray they’ll see the futile way their church has led them!
