I didn't listen to the other ones but, isn't the Adam-God doctrine that Adam was Heavenly Father? Then why would Brigham say that Adam talked with God as one man talks to his father? Just wondering. I will be happy to understand that statement better. Could it be that Heavenly Father is the head of the Council of the Gods and Adam was one on the Council?
I’m no longer a Mormon. Though I think all of this is ridiculous, the Adam god doctrine makes more sense than the mainstream Mormon godhead. Great video, keep it up!
Clearly you are intelligent beyond normal people. Announcing your belief so brazenly proves your high IQ and enlightened state to all of us comment readers.

None of this was endorsing any of the various religious traditions being cited (except for the New Testament). After the presentation someone specifically asked about Sethian Gnosticism having some troublingly bizarre aspects to their cosmology and whether we just accept the parts of their scripture that match the Restored Gospel and discard the parts that do not, or if there was a way to accept all of their cosmology and harmonize it with the Restoration. I clarified that I do not consider the Sethian Gnostics to be authoritative in any of their beliefs or writings, even the stuff that agrees with the Restoration, I was just looking at fascinating parallels to Adam-God in various ancient religions.
Haven't you read Fred's Book of Revelations. His Revelations warn you about these Luciferians. I'm surprised that Jacob seems to ignore Fred's warnings.
Have you read any of Fred's pamphlets? He extensively references scholars and historical sources of all stripes and backgrounds: Catholics, Protestants, Gnostics, Atheists, Jews, Mormons, etc.; not to mention ancient Egyptians, Greeks, Sumerians, Akkadians, Babylonians, Iranians, etc. There's absolutely nothing wrong with seeking for truth in all places, and from all sources. Brigham Young taught: "... when the devil speaks the truth I should have the spirit to discriminate between the truth and the error, and should receive the former and reject the latter." (JD 14:160)
I got about 10 minutes into this and my thoughts are...okay so professor so and so found some old heretical writings and thats supposed to be the proof that this was the real teaching of the day and what? The bad people wanted to bury this teaching and so thats why it never got passed down? We live in a day where old heretical ideas are being repacked and presented to us as if they are new or that they are some kind of restoration of the lost true. I see this theme more and more where some people act like everyone before us was an idiot and they can't be trusted to have worked out heresy as it arose but for some reason now we gotta dig up old heresies that have already been purged and try working with them one more time.

Brigham sometimes spoke of Adam's Father as God / Heavenly Father since he was acting as God while Adam was in mortality.
Joseph Smith 100% knew of the Adam god jewish mystic teaching because of Kabbalah.
100% certain about something with 0 evidence. I thought you were above mere faith now?

You should be careful quoting Luciferian (anti-Christ) sources and then closing in the name of Jesus Christ. It's blasphemous to do so.
