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)
