Some of his teachings certainly will. Those teachings that came by the spirit of revelation will not.

In other words, over time they will slowly be relegated to the personal opinion category when they no longer fit within social accepted norms.

How long really, will this silly "official doctrine" charade continue among the critics?

As long as the majority of the members continue to "follow the prophet" without question, regardless of the lack of inspiration.

I wonder if Monson will get to be on Larry King. I bet if he does his response will be different about becoming God's.

How remarkably insensitive. I guess your avatar should have clued me in first, though.
Put on some thicker garments.

It happens to all of them.

Remember? The living prophets teachings Trump the dead ones.

Amazing, really. Gall of bitterness.

I think in the future there will be an actual true prophet. Maybe not this one but the next. Maybe the one after. A real prophet, an inspired prophet of God.

While some of ths is correct for much out of the 19th century I see little of it now. Course most of what they say is fairly general. Care to give examples from Hunter, Benson, Kimball, Lee, Smith or McKay? What of theor teachings have been moved to personal opinion? I can think of a couple. Let's see if you can.

Interesting thought. Maybe there already is. Maybe he/she is not Mormon, but there could already be one on the planet. No?

I am really sorry for those of you who never knew that President Hinckley was God's true prophet. You have 3 or 4 days to get yourselves into a condition where you can receive the witness that the new prophet is God's cosen servant.

It's nothing personal against Pres. Hinckley. I liked him. My heart goes out to his family. But in his own words, it's either true or it's a fraud. And it all rests on the first vision and the Book of Mormon. If Joseph did have that vision and the Book of Mormon is true, then Pres Hinckley truely was a prophet. If Joseph did not have that vision and the Book of Mormon is not true, then Pres. Hinckley was nothing but a good man with good intentions.

So we decide for ourselves if Joseph had that vision or not. It all starts there.
