I believe this doctrine and the spirit has witnessed to me of its truthfulness, though I do not have a full understanding of it.

There are some parts that I am still confused about, but I believe it to be a true doctrine. We run into confusion because we love to put God in a box.

Ogden Kraut wrote a wonderful book on this subject titled Michael/Adam which you can read online for free here.

I have a different understanding of who Jehovah is, based on other writings, which is that Jehovah is the Savior who atoned for Adam while he was in his mortal probation, the one we are on now. That, of course, opens another can of worms.

The thing I find funny is that we claim that Adam is our father and we claim that we are gods, per the statement Jesus himself made; We claim those things but we deny the sort of teachings that would explain to us how we actually arrive and become like like they (our common species) became how they are and how we can do it too. We seem to want to believe that we just have to do our best and then through some sort of sacerdotal grace-fueled magic we will transform into a god. Or we want to just push off any learning of that sort to when we are resurrected and prepared to understand that sort of thing.

I find it fascinating. Learning these things gives me a deep motivational passion that nothing else does.
