So multifarious are the different classes of truths, and so multitudinous the truths in each class, that it may be undoubtingly affirmed that no man has yet lived who could so much as name all the different classes and subdivisions of truths, and far less anyone who was acquainted with all the truths belonging to any one class.

Jesus Christ doesn’t just give us truths; he is the truth. Jesus Christ is the prophet to end all prophets.
