It is nice to visit, Amonhi. Smile

In my research, I found some of the same quotes by Pres. Clarke, and passed those on to my student. I particularly liked his statement about how we have to have the Spirit to be able to tell when someone is speaking by the Spirit.

I have a favorite quote by Joseph Fielding Smith on the value and purpose of the Standard Works:

"It makes no difference what is written or what anyone has said, if what has been said is in conflict with what the Lord has revealed, we can set it aside. My words, and the teaching of any other member of the Church, high or low, if they do not square with the revelations, we need not accept them. Let us have this matter clear. We have accepted the four standard works as the measuring yardsticks, or balances, by which we measure every man's doctrine."
(DOCTRINES OF SALVATION, VOL. 3, as quoted in gospelink.com, emphasis mine.)

My other favorite quote on this subject comes from an epistle of the Twelve to the church in 1837:

"Study the word of God, and preach it and not your opinions, for no man's opinion is worth a straw. Advance no principle but what you can prove, for one scriptural proof is worth ten thousand opinions. "
(History of the Church vol 3, as quoted in gospelink.com, emphasis mine)

Although I accept D&C 68, I also believe that everyone who speaks in GC still has their agency, and they can choose to speak something that is not necessarily inspired.
