| - In Mormonism, the Adam–God theory (also called the Adam–God doctrine) is a doctrine taught by Brigham Young and some early leaders of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (LDS Church) involving the status of Adam as the God of humanity. The details, meaning, and reporting of the doctrine are disputed; however, the most comprehensive statement of the doctrine, found in the transcript of Young's sermon at the church's 1852 General Conference, includes the ideas that Adam (1) entered the Garden of Eden "with a celestial body, and brought Eve, one of his wives, with him", (2) and (3) that Jesus was conceived, not by the Holy Spirit, but by "the Father", i.e., "the first of the human family" .
During the life of Brigham Young, elements of the Adam–God theory were taught in church meetings, sung in church hymns, and included in the church's Endowment ceremony; however, after his death in 1877 this controversial theory gradually lost prominence and was eventually abandoned. The theory was questionable even during Young's lifetime, and was vocally rejected by the influential contemporary Mormon apostle Orson Pratt. Other apostles were supportive of Brigham Young's teaching.
In 1976, the most common interpretation of the theory was rejected by the LDS Church as false doctrine. However, in branches of Mormon fundamentalism that are no longer affiliated with the LDS Church, but who closely follow the teachings of Brigham Young, the doctrine remains. (en)
- La teoría de Adán Dios es una creencia que se encuentra en un discurso de Brigham Young, líder mormón por primera vez en la década de 1850; según la cual Adán «es nuestro padre y nuestro Dios y el único dios con el que nosotros tenemos que ver». Young otorgó a Adán diversos papeles en la historia bíblica, chocando en ocasiones frontalmente con muchos dogmas básicos cristianos. Colocó otras divinidades junto a Dios, estableciendo que Adán, el hombre, no había sido el primer ser creado en la Tierra, sino algo más que eso y que nunca fue expulsado del Edén.
Algunos de los contemporáneos de Young interpretaron la doctrina como si estuviera asumiendo que Adán era el Dios de la Tierra y el padre de Jesucristo. Interpretada así, la doctrina era confusa y fue mal acogida incluso por otros líderes de la Iglesia de los Santos de los Últimos Días, así como por el público general mormón, que se posicionó de una manera más pragmática con respecto a la enseñanza.
