That is a lie and you tried to turn his words to satisfy your agenda!

It is NOT a lie, Resty. Your own LDS History of the (LDS) Church states it:

Joseph Smith delivered a sermon in Nauvoo, Illinois, in May, 1844, shortly before his death in which he said:

” I have more to boast of than any man had. I am the only man that has ever been able to keep a whole church together since the days of Adam. A large majority of the whole have stood by me. Neither Paul, John, Peter, nor Jesus ever did it. I boast that no man ever did such work as I”(History of the Church, Vol.6, pp. 408-09).

Far cry from what the Bible says:

May I never boast except in the cross of our Lord Jesus Christ, through which the world has been crucified to me, and I to the world. (Galations 6:14)
