Let us now read Chapter 29:41-42, there we find the Lord telling us that he never gives temporal laws, now after all those revelations we read in the Doc. and Cov. which are so personal and temporal, it is really hard for us to understand this revelation. It sounds as if it came from a different source altogether. We are almost compelled to think all those great revelations were made by Joseph and Sidney Rigdon. Verse 42 tells us that God created Adam. I cannot believe that, for the Mormons taught me that Adam was our God and that Adam's God did not create him but begot him like parents beget their children. (See Journal of Discourses, Vol. 1, page 50. Brigham Young says: "Adam is our father and our God and the only God with whom we have to do.") Now is this revelation wrong or do the Mormons teach wrong principles?
