Frage: Haben die Mormonen ihre Propheten für unfehlbar gehalten?
Propheten sind in der HLT-Tradition nicht unfehlbar
Heilige der Letzten Tage glauben nicht, dass Propheten und Apostel frei von Fehlern sind, obwohl sie von Gott berufen sind und Offenbarungen empfangen. Joseph Smith selbst lehrte, dass ein Prophet nur ein Prophet ist, wenn er als solcher handelt.[1] Die Kirche hat immer gelehrt, dass ihre Führer menschlich sind und wie alle Sterblichen nicht ohne Mängel sind. Nur Jesus war vollkommen, wie es in einem Statement der Ersten Präsidentschaft erklärt wurde:
Es ist nicht davon auszugehen, dass die Männer der neuen Dispensation — ihre Propheten, Apostel, Präsidentschaften und andere Führer — ohne Mängel oder unfehlbar sind, sondern dass sie als Menschen den gleichen Leidenschaften behandelt werden sollten.[2]
Lu Dalton, schrieb in der Kirchenzeitschrift für Frauen und erklärte:
Wir halten Gott, und ihn allein, für unfehlbar; darum kann sein offenbartes Wort an uns nicht bezweifelt werden, obwohl wir manchmal im Zweifel sind über die Kenntnisse, die wir aus menschlichen Quellen erhalten und sind gegebenenfalls verpflichtet zuzugeben, dass etwas, dass wir für Tatsachen hielten, nur eine Theorie war.[3]
