Send us a textTake a listen on our short clip on the role of a prophet and when he speaks.  Does he always speak the words of God?  Does he sometimes mistaken what God would have him say.  Can he give his opinion and it be his alone and not what God would say?  The point is, prophets of God are mortal men on a journey just like everyone else.  We are learning in this years come follow me, that Joseph Smith, although called as a prophet, made mistakes.  This is pointed out several times in the Doctrine & Covenants.  Andrew gives the example of Joseph Fielding Smith speaking on the topic of man going to the moon.  He once said that it was not intended for man to go to the moon and that people could write down, that it would never happen.  Yet it did happen.  Does that weaken your testimony?  Does that strengthen your testimony?  Does that cause concern?  Men are men and have their opinions.  Even prophets of God.  Marcus points out that as Martin Harris was first told no, that he would not take the 116 pages of manuscript, in the end, he did take them.  Sometimes that is true with any dealings of man.  God can tell man no, but then can allow men to use their own agency.  Prophets of God do speak from God, but they also have their own opinion, and do make mistakes sometimes when speaking.  www.saintsinthesouth.comSupport the showThanks for listening!
