I have been reading much more then writing lately and I have to say this discussion has greatly enlarged my soul. There were a few little thoughts here and there and strokes of ideas that came to my mind while reading. The last thing that came to my mind is that its actually NOT the words of "the prophets" that we want to rely on. Because prophets are just men and NO amount of "THEIR WORDS" can or will save us. It is the word's they speak that are from Christ that we want to follow and heed. They are here to help lead the way by example and they give us insights into the mind and will of the Lord until we fully understand the mind and will of the Lord for ourselves. It's great that people understand they are supposed to have an inside track to the mind and will of the Lord but many stop short and never receive the same knowledge for themselves and that is the whole purpose of their role's. To teach us how to do and gain what they have.

I have appreciated all who have added to this discussion so thank you so much. Amonhi this statement really struck me for some reason. Well said. "Eventually we will rely on our own understanding of morality and we will become like God knowing Good from Evil for ourselves with no other guide. (This is where we hope the prophet is because so many rely on his judgement of right and wrong.)"

It struck me to the very center. It is the whole crux of entering into Godhood.
