The prophet will never lead the church astray...

How come Brigham Young taught Adam-God and the Curse of Cain about African Blacks?

Sure seems it lead people astray for quite some time.

The quote in question means that the prophet will not lead you to damnation. It does not mean every word out of their mouth is God-breathed.

Also I am not sure your examples were mistakes.

Too bad the saying in question wasn't something like, "The truth will eventually win out". That saying is both profound and hopeful.

Is that just your opinion Nehor or can you quote an official Church explanation of the quote about Prophets will not be allowed to lead the Church astray?
