Spirit of Man Sexually Begotten by Heavenly Father

 September 25 — Prophets Contradictions on Creation of Man. Latter-day Prophets Speak: Selections from the Sermons and Writings of Church Presidents, Book 5 “There is not a person here today but what is a son or a daughter of that Being. In the spirit world their spirits were first begotten and brought forth, and they lived there with their parents for ages before they came here. This, perhaps, is hard for many to believe, but it is the greatest nonsense in the world not to believe it. If you do not believe it, cease to call Him Father; and when you pray, pray to some other character. – Brigham Young, Journal of Discourses 4:216, February 8, 1857” (more…)

  • 1 Corinthians 15:47 ‘The first man is of the earth, earthy: the second man is the Lord from heaven.’
  • Romans 8:30 “Moreover whom he did predestinate, them he also called: and whom he called, them he also justified: and whom he justified, them he also glorified.”

salt lake mormon temple 2Improvement Era, Vol. 13, April 1910, No. 5, pg 70, Priesthood Quorum’s Table; “These are the authentic statements of the scriptures, ancient and modern, and it is best to rest with these, until the Lord shall see fit to give more light on the subject. whether the mortal bodies of man evolved in natural processes to present perfection, through the direction and power of God; whether the first parents of our generations, Adam and Eve, were transplanted from another sphere, with immortal tabernacles, which became corrupted through sin and the partaking of natural foods, in the process of time; whether they were born here in mortality, as other mortals have been, are questions not fully answered in the revealed word of God.” – Joseph F.
