Quotes from the Journal of Discourses 6:1-11
2. "...God himself was once as we are now, and is an exalted man, and sits enthroned in yonder heavens."
3. "We have imagined and supposed that God was God from all eternity, I will refute that idea, and will take away and do away the vail, so that you may see."
4. "... and that he was once a man like us;"
5. "...you have got to learn how to be Gods yourselves,..."
6. "To inherit the same power, the same glory, and the same exaltation, until you arrive at the station of a God and ascend the throne of eternal power, the same as those who have gone before."
7. "My Father worked out his kingdom with fear and trembling, and I must do the same; and when I get my kingdom, I shall present it to my Father, so that he may obtain kingdom upon kingdom, and it will exalt him in glory. He will then take a higher exaltation, and I will take his place, and thereby become exalted myself. So that Jesus treads in the track of his Father, and inherits what God did before; and God is thus glorified and exalted in the salvation and exaltation of all his children."
8. "The mind of the intelligence which man possesses is co-equal with God himself."
