No Godhood for Relying on Men
Journal of Discourses 1:312; “’I do not depend upon any inherent goodness of my own,’ say they, ‘to introduce me into the kingdom of glory, but I depend upon you, brother Joseph, upon you, brother Brigham … I believe your judgment is superior to mine, and consequently I let you judge for me.’ Now those men, or those women, who know no more about the power of God, and the influences of the Holy Spirit, than to be led entirely by another person, suspending their own understanding, and pinning their faith upon another’s sleeve, will never be capable of entering into the celestial glory, to be crowned as they anticipate; they will never be capable of becoming Gods.” – Brigham Young, Salt Lake City, February 20, 1853
