The fifth book of wonders

"allow that the power which could create a SON in your womb at this age Joanna Southcott was 64 years old at the time of this writing. could create the MAN and WOMAN in the beginning, and could create the WOMAN from the MAN, by the same power and outstretched arm that I create the MAN from the WOMAN. Because a MALE CHILD is creating the MAN from the WOMAN; and it is through this that my power shall be made known to men: how I had power to take MAN’S NATURE upon ME in the VIRGIN’S WOMB to be born as a CHILD for the sons of men, and how I have power, in the end, to create that likeness again to fulfill my Gospel—and why I compared the kingdom of heaven to a little CHILD.

To atheists, this must be mocked as some cleverly devised scheme of yours, because they have mocked the Scriptures"
