Members of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints believe the members of the First Presidency and the Quorum of the Twelve Apostles are prophets, seers, and revelators. Many members believe that their General Authorities always speak for God and that any pronouncement made by a General Authority is from God. Many persons who have left the Church advocate the same thing, that the General Authorities have a conduit straight to God and always speak for God. Thus, if those persons can find one thing said by a General Authority that isn't true, then the General Authorities do not have a conduit to God, and the LDS church is false. In effect, these persons, including active members as well as inactive members or former members are saying that in order to be true prophets, the General Authorities must be infallible.
Many members, including myself, believe that the General Authorities are human and thus commit sin and make mistakes. The posts listed below explore these questions: are the LDS authorities infallible? Can the authorities make mistakes? Do the authorities always speak for God? Visitors to the site are invited and encouraged to leave their opinions as comments to the posts.
