Question here...What is doctrine? Does it need to be in the scriptures? Is the scripture complete today? When spoken upon the influence of the HG, is that consider doctrine? How do we test on what we received by the hand of the servants of the Lord?
Where Hemi... if you would be so kind.

It is my understanding that we don't know the process by which Adam came to this planet. And I think statements like this make my point. Perhaps Brigham wrote and pondered about such ideas. But these are not our canonized teachings.

This young woman comes here with a concern. A valid concern....and this is how we answer her? I think this is what happens. People start studying this stuff and marinating in it and the doctrinal lines get awfully blurry.

The best advice I can give the OP is to follow the Spirit of the Father and stick to the basics. These are questions that we perhaps will get answers to only after this life is over.
