How directly does God SPEAK to the prophets? with Keith Erekson

#prophets #lds #mormon #god #jesuschrist #propheticfallibility In this episode I bring on Historian Keith Erikson to discuss prophetic fallibility. We talk about assumptions and expectations of prophets, how prophets generally receive revelation. How to make sense of doctrinal mistakes and disavowed past teachings. What to do when you feel your revelation conflicts with prophetic teaching and why he views prophets as reliable when they are fallible.
