Wow, you make whirling dervishes look like they’re standing still! I forget, was Brigham Young one of your religion’s ‘prophets’?
I thought we’d gone over this a few weeks ago? A prophet has two things: opinions and revelations. They are not the same. That’s why we are personally invited to go before the Lord and verify directly with Him through prayer the teachings of the prophet.
Brigham Young was particularly fond of voicing his opinions; but he never did so, to my knowledge, under the guise of revelation, prophecy, or speaking in the name of the Lord. And sometimes he misspoke, and sometimes his words were mis-transcribed (remember, no tape recorders back then). But these things mean he was human. Not a false prophet.
That’s why the context of the teachings of the Church are necessary. You can’t have a clear understanding of what we teach and believe if you are glued to aberrant quotes that are twisted to support what you -want- to think we teach and believe.
And this is why we keep going around in circles, MHG.
