That is what I figured.
Now will you admit that the quotes from the various Mormon sources are accurate and that the people who spoke or wrote them were:
1) Mormons who were high ranking officials in the Mormons church;
2) Probably had more authority to speak on Mormon Doctrine than you; and
3) Actually believed that what they wrote was consistent with what the Mormon Church taught at the time?
I may have some reservations about the accuracy and completeness of the quotes, but for the sake of argument, I will play along.
. . . and that the people who spoke or wrote them were:
1) Mormons who were high ranking officials in the Mormons church;
OK, that is undoubtedly true.
2) Probably had more authority to speak on Mormon Doctrine than you; and
Since I claim no authority, I have to agree.
3) Actually believed that what they wrote was consistent with what the Mormon Church taught at the time?
I think so.
However, I would also add:
4) Those high ranking officials often presented their own opinions, which they (and their listeners) recognized as such;
5) Those high ranking officials sometimes disagreed with each other;
6) As members of the LDS Church, we are obligated to support the current President of the Church, and not past leaders;
7) God is the ultimate authority.
