I guess that's fine. However, you seem to miss the point that your position pits you against the current leadership of the church as they have stated that past leaders acted and spoke without inspiration from God. You can't have it both ways. Either the past leaders were wrong or current ones are. Or both are wrong. There is no option where both are right.Todd wrote:Thank you for stating where you stand. Since I believe our current and past prophets are inspired by God we really don't have a common ground to discuss this issue. Best of luck with your journey.Thomas wrote: My position on past leaders is exactly the same as the church's position, which is they acted and spoke without inspiration from God. That leaves me to wonder how it is I am supposed to assume all the actions and words of current leaders are inspired of God.
I think mostly the mainstream of the church is oblivious to the conflict.
