Sometimes I wonder why folks have to make plain words not resemble what they mean.
When Benson said "The Prophet is the Only Man who speaks for God," he didn't leave it at that. He added another two words at the end of that statement, words which you seem to ignore: "The Prophet is the Only Man who speaks for God in everything."
What you just said is the "non-controversial" angle because, Delf, who doesn't believe that God can't speak to them in prayer (for example)? [I mean, in you saying what you did...that God personally speaks to folks...I hope that doesn't put you way far out on some eccentric theological limb...:)]
But IF you said, as did Benson, that the ONLY one who can prophesy truth resides in SLC, not only does that contradict what Paul told the Corinthians when he was talking about the gifts of the spirit, but it also means that LDS think that the only "cloud of prophesy" is permanently parked over SLC.
So, let's hear it straight from your mouth: Yes, you believe that all folks can hear "personal revelation" from God, but go on say it: You also believe any and all prophesies can only come from Zion...No, that's not right, Zion is in Independence, MO...strike that...can only come from SLC, the new spiritual Zion that's meant to replace the real geographical one.
