This just proves again there is no such thing as "Mormon doctrine." It's all folklore. Just like any folklore, contradictory and internally inconsistent versions are passed around over generations that defy synthesis or reconsiliation or authoritative accounts, though some will try and fail to synthesize, reconcile or give the authoritative account. If someone disagrees, tell me where I can find Mormon doctrine?
NOTE: Just because it's all folklore doesn't mean it's unworthy of your adoration. That's the Mystery.
Does this mean Adam is a prophet? I worship thee Adam.
I never knew McConkie wrote that introduction. Boy, is his reputation in tatters or what?
