Just because the membership has not adopted, by common consent, a teaching of a particular prophet as being doctrinal doesn't necessarily mean that the teaching isn't true

So do you all believe that a prophet can teach wrongly or give an inncorrect prophecy and still hold the title prophet?

Some children are spoiled and can’t wait for others to also be able to eat the same food. At one time some of the children were able to digest better. The LDS had 2 temple-destroyed Kirtland, and Nauvoo ran out of each community, property destroyed and looted were made to leave as they were shoot at, Many walked across country with handcarts, many were frozen to death or lost limbs, and other triages. It was through great faith they made it and many diary show where they had personal revelations and some seen angles, by the time they reached Utah they were ready to received many of the mysteries of God were reveal to them and their future generations. The farther time moves from those experiences, the abilities to process this meat is few, for it is by the trail that we are given this knowledge. They are truths, yet they are not vital to our salvation. It is most important we learn how to walk

What I am saying because of the trail of their faith, they have proven so much to the Lord by their sacrifice and enduring to the end that they were ready to hear those lofty things or mysteries of God, and to others it would not be able to receive for the depth of their relationship has not manifested the ability to received such morsels.

Try to think of it like the sacrifice that our Founding Fathers and soldiers who paid in blood and limb for this Nation to come forth, but the same thing happen to bring the restoration of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints, many had excelled in their faith where they were able to receive the mysteries of God and these things should not be trifle with, not given lightly; I learn these things because when I first converted I knew I have at last found the true Church and wanted to know everything that the Lord had allowed me to understand.

Sadly many learn these things by the design of evil man who want to choke you and cause you to spit it out.

Any way these things are sacred and should only be handle when one is ready to feast in the wonders of the Lord, until that time one is really trampling on the mysteries of the Lord.

Ether 12
3 For he did cry from the morning, even until the going down of the sun, exhorting the people to believe in God unto repentance lest they should be destroyed, saying unto them that by faith all things are fulfilled—

4 Wherefore, whoso believeth in God might with surety hope for a better world, yea, even a place at the right hand of God, which hope cometh of faith, maketh an anchor to the souls of men, which would make them sure and steadfast, always abounding in good works, being led to glorify God.

5 And it came to pass that Ether did prophesy great and marvelous things unto the people, which they did not believe, because they saw them not.

6 And now, I, Moroni, would speak somewhat concerning these things; I would show unto the world that faith is things which are hoped for and not seen; wherefore, dispute not because ye see not, for ye receive no witness until after the trial of your faith.

7 For it was by faith that Christ showed himself unto our fathers, after he had risen from the dead; and he showed not himself unto them until after they had faith in him; wherefore, it must needs be that some had faith in him, for he showed himself not unto the world.

8 But because of the faith of men he has shown himself unto the world, and glorified the name of the Father, and prepared a way that thereby others might be partakers of the heavenly gift, that they might hope for those things which they have not seen.

9 Wherefore, ye may also have hope, and be partakers of the gift, if ye will but have faith.

10 Behold it was by faith that they of old were called after the holy order of God.
