Adam/God began to be withdrawn shortly after the 1890 Manifesto.
"... he that will harden his heart, the same receiveth the lesser portion of the word; and he that will not harden his heart, to him is given the greater portion of the word, until it is given unto him to know the mysteries of God until he know them in full. And they that will harden their hearts, to them is given the lesser portion of the word until they know nothing concerning his mysteries; ..." (Alma 12:10-11)
I've always had suspicion that "Archangel Michael" was the God of the Bible due to many instances in the old testament that support it. So it stands to reason that if Michael is considered Adam, then that means Adam is God. Thus when we pray to Elohim or Heavenly Father, it must be to Michael-Adam who has ascended and earned the title. This doctrine brings so much clarity to the Gospel of Christ.
Actually... it doesn't.
From John Chapter 1
1 In the beginning was the Word and the Word was with God and the Word was God.
2 The same was in the beginning with God.
14 And the Word was made flesh and dwelt among us and we beheld His glory, the glory as of the only begotten of the Father.
From Genesis Chapter 4
1 And Adam knew Eve his wife; and she conceived, and bare Cain, and said, I have gotten a man from the Lord.
2 And she again bare his brother Abel.
Jesus was the only begotten of the Father.
Cain and Abel, and countless others, were the begotten children of Adam.
If Jesus is the only begotten, yet we know Adam had multiple begottens, then Adam cannot be the father of Jesus. This is the plain facts from the text of the Bible that makes me disbelieve the Adam-God theory.
I have had people try to argue with me that Jesus's conception was a spiritual process and therefore still feasible... No, I don't buy it.
And you have to ask yourself the question, is this necessary to your salvation? Maybe it's not something you need to worry about.
