In this episode we tackle the tough issue of what is blind obedience and what is our responsibility in both adhereing to our perception of right and wrong and still sustaining the brethren in their callings a Prophets, Seers, and Revelators. Are we indeed supposed to follow prophets even when they are wrong. We hit this and more on today’s episode of the Mormon Discussion Podcast.

This is what is great about the Church. We have enough contradictory quotes from the leaders that we can decide what feels good to us and then find a view that supports it.
In some regards…. your very right. In a church without creeds… we are left to pick and choose our own theology to some extent.
