You forgot to add this particular disclaimer to the sermons of Brigham Young you just posted.

I have never yet preached a sermon and sent it out to the children of men, that they may not call Scripture. Let me have the privilege of correcting a sermon, and it is as good Scripture as they deserve. The people have the oracles of God continually. (Brigham Young, Journal of Discourses, Volume 13, Page 95)

And we both forgot to add this disclaimer to the sermons of Brigham Young we just posted:

FIRST: The prophet is the only man who speaks for the lord in everything.

SECOND: The living prophet is more vital to us than the standard works. (i.e. Mormon Scripture)

THIRD: The living prophet is more important to us than a dead prophet.

FOURTH: The prophet will never lead the church astray.

FIFTH: The prophet is not required to have any particular earthly training or credentials to speak on any subject or act on any matter at any time.

SIXTH: The prophet does not have to say "Thus saith the lord," to give us scripture.

NINTH: The prophet can receive revelation on any matter, temporal or spiritual.

Fourteen Fundamentals in Following the Prophet, LDS President Ezra Taft Benson, February 26, 1980.
