Athanasius
God became man that man might become God.
Brigham YoungThe Lord created you and me for the purpose of becoming Gods like himself.
Wilford WoodruffGod himself is increasing and progressing in knowledge, power, and dominion, and will do so, worlds without end. It is just so with us.
IrenaeusHow, then, shall he become a God, who has not as yet been made a man? Or how can he be perfect who was but lately created? How, again, can he be immortal, who in his mortal nature did not obey his maker? For it must be that thou, at the outset, shouldest hold the rank of a man, and then afterwards partake of the glory of God.
