You all realize, of course, that this is how scriptures came to be, right?
If this story had happened a few hundred years ago, our current version might have had Nelson walking on water to give them the book, changing the water into wine at the couple's wedding, or bringing the couples firstborn back from the dead.

Will future generations argue on their equivalent of message boards about whether Nelson was a real person?

It's amazing that that is all he gives a flying flip about. How many joined the church because of me? I mean ego still thyself!
Nelson's ego and high opinion of himself seems to be a strand running through all of his anecdotes. Indeed, he thought so highly of himself he produced a personal autobiography so that his extended family could read about how wonderful and influential he was. Within his stories he's always at the centre, being the key factor of whatever point he's making. Humility does not seem to be his middle name. Perhaps it's the heart surgeons "God Complex".
