"I have been called of God to lay the foundation of a great work."

"I am the only prophet that has ever been able to keep a church together since the days of Adam."

"I am willing to lay down my life for the cause of truth."

"I am a man of God, and I desire to do the will of God."

"God himself was once as we are now, and is an exalted man, and sits enthroned in yonder heavens!"
