There is no such thing as an infallible prophet unless you want to include Jesus Christ.

Sorry, Resty but your leaders would disagree with you...

‘I never told you I was perfect; but there is no error in the revelations which I have taught. Must I, then, be thrown away as a thing of naught?’”- The Teachings of the Prophet Joseph Smith, p. 368

“I will make a statement here that has been brought against me as a crime, perhaps, or as a fault in my life. Not here, I do not allude to anything of the kind in this place, but in the councils of the nations that Brigham Young has said “when he sends forth his discourses to the world they may call them Scripture.” I say now, when they are copied and approved by me they are as good Scripture as is couched in this Bible, and if you want to read revelation read the sayings of him who knows the mind of God, without any special command to one man to go here, and to another to go yonder, or to do this or that, or to go and settle here or there.”

- Prophet Brigham Young, Journal of Discourses, v. 13, p. 261, October 6, 1870

“I have never preached a sermon and sent it out to the children of men, that they may not call scripture.”

- Prophet Brigham Young, Journal of Discourses, v. 13, p. 95

“Christ and his prophets go together... it is not possible to believe in one without believing in the other... by rejecting the prophets we reject Christ himself.”

- Apostle Bruce R. McConkie, cited in 1978 Devotional Speeches of the Year: BYU Devotional and Addresses, 1978, p. 118

“Second, in the midst of all these things, Joseph like his colleague prophets was so busy being a special witness for the Savior that he had little time to heed all of the false witness being borne about him. Joseph was usually more inclined to endure than explain himself, even though the drumbeat of dissent was at certain points almost unrelieved. In Nauvoo, in March 1842, for instance, while intensively engaged “day and evening” in translating the Book of Abraham, he said that he simply did not have time to attend to all his public duties. His duties as a seer were more important than his ceremonial chores.
Joseph did not respond at times, of course, such as by issuing a summational disclaimer as from the temple stand in Nauvoo, saying, “I never told you I was perfect; but there is no error in the revelations which I have taught.”

- Apostle Neal A. Maxwell, Meek and Lowly, pp. 105-106

“My boy, you always keep your eye on the President of the Church, and if he tells you to do something wrong, and you do it, the Lord will bless you for it.”

- Prophet Heber J. Grant, as quoted by Apostle Marion G. Romney in “The Covenant of the Priesthood,” Ensign, July 1972, p. 98

Hbr 1:1 God, who at sundry times and in divers manners spoke in time past to the fathers by the prophets,

Hbr 1:2 Has in these last days spoken to us by His Son, whom He has appointed heir of all things, by whom also He made the worlds; Hebrews 1:1, 2

There is nothing you can post that I have not read somewhere along the line and you do not understand the word perfect according our doctrine.

It is like a orchard when the fruit is ripe than it is if complete and that is what perfect means not flawless just ready and will continue on the journey of endless learning the ways of the Lord.

You can read into things what you want but what is in the LDS Standard Works is doctrine and nothing else!
