That is a loaded question with lots of rabbit trails.dastardly stem wrote: ↑Wed Oct 05, 2022 4:53 pmWhy should anyone accept another who claims to be God's special witness, prophet, seer, and revelator if that other teaches things that aren't good or useful?
I think you have found your answer.
The fact is, Elder Renlund gave a talk. As members we listen to and harken to his words. We then take what we will as we seek revelation and inspiration from God in our lives and continue on the covenant path.
The difference is, I suppose, is we are not looking for reasons to step off that path as some might be wont to do.
And no, we’re not ‘blindly’ following every word spoken over the pulpit.
I missed part of Elder Renlund’s talk. IHAQ’s quotes from his talk make me want to go back and listen to his before some of the others.
