When Adam was placed on this earth all his former knowledge was taken away. Yet the Lord has made known to us that Adam lived before and had experiences as Michael, the great prince, who was chosen to stand at the head of the human family on this earth as the Ancient of Days.
Joseph Fielding Smith, The Way to Perfection, p.17
What is wrong with this picture?
Firstly, the Bible plainly says we exist physically before we exist spiritually (1 Cor. 15:44-46) so there was no “former knowledge” for Adam to have. Secondly, Adam was a man while Michael was an angel - two different types of created beings. Lastly, the “Ancient of Days” spoken of in Daniel 7 is God. God created Adam, so the two cannot be the same. However, this citation harks back to the Adam-God doctrine taught by Brigham Young and denied by the LDS today.

I can't keep up any more.
I have no words. It astounds me too much that Scripture can be ignored so blatantly.
Is the author quoted a Mormon by any chance? It is amazing how ignorant people are of what the written Word says. Or are we just knuckle dragging Neanderthals?
Grace and peace.
The author, Joseph Fielding Smith, was the 10th president of the LDS church.
