Abraham H. Cannon on George Q. Cannon (1) identifying "Jehovah" with Jesus and (2) Jesus Speaking of Himself as "the very Eternal Father"

  

Very hot day – I spent the forenoon in conversing on the Gospel principles and reading.

 

Father [George Q. Cannon] proved to my entire satisfaction this morning by passages from the Book of Mormon and Doctrine and Covenants that all men, even the sons of perdition, will be resurrected and stand before God to be judged.

 

He believes that Jesus Christ is Jehovah, and that Adam is His Father and our God; that under certain unknown conditions the benefits of the Savior’s atonement extend to our entire solar system.

 

Jesus, in speaking of himself as the very eternal Father speaks as one of the Godhead, etc.

 

Many obscure points of doctrine were made plain to me by the conversation of this morning. (Excerpt from the Journal of Abraham H. Cannon, June 23, 1889, in Dennis D. Doodridge, The Adam-God Revelation [2012, 2015], 365)
