52 And he also said unto him: If thou wilt turn unto me, and hearken unto my voice, and believe, and repent of all thy transgressions, and be abaptized•, even in water, in the name of mine Only Begotten Son, who is full of bgrace and truth, which is Jesus cChrist, the only dname• which shall be given under heaven, whereby esalvation shall come unto the children of men, ye shall receive the gift of the Holy Ghost, asking all things in his name, and whatsoever ye shall ask, it shall be given you.

53 And our father Adam spake unto the Lord, and said: Why is it that men must repent and be baptized in water? And the Lord said unto Adam: Behold I have aforgiven thee thy transgression in the Garden of Eden.

I don't see why these scriptures present a problem for the adam God theory. I think its pretty safe to say that Adam had a perfect an imortal body, and I don't know of anyother way of getting a perfect and immortal body but through life, death, and resurrection.

If when Adam came down a veil of forgetfullness was placed upon him then why wouldn't he be able to sin?
