Improvement Era Vol 13 Classic Reprint

Excerpt from Improvement Era, Vol. 13 In other words, Sir Oliver evidently believes in something equivalent to the resurrection of man; that there will be some sort of quasi-material substance that shall form the future cloth ing of man's spirit, suitable to the future states of its existence and experiences. Now, my friends, the point is this: If our professors, as we see they do, insist that there is incarnate in man a divine spirit, and we get men through the veil of death, and they become immortal men, possessing immortal tabernacles, what have you here but the superman of the professors, or the exalted man of Joseph Smith's doctrine? And if we postulate for these immortals, as both Joseph Smith and the professors do, a limitless opportunity for progress and development, then indeed it is not impossible that man may approach, somewhat, even to the excel lence of his Father and of his elder brother, Jesus Christ. This brings me to the consideration of another thought in connection with Joseph Smith's doctrine, namely, the doctrine that there is a plurality of divine intelligences in the universe - Lords many and Gods many, as Paul would say.
