The LDS Church has explicitly stated in General Conference that the living prophet takes precedence over the Bible—a belief many Christians find blasphemous and others see as absurd. Critics argue this allows the Church to erase past teachings and present new revelations as absolute truth, without apology.

Bruce R. McConkie once said, “Forget everything I have said, or what … Brigham Young … or whomsoever has said … that is contrary to the present revelation.” But did he return royalties from his pre-1981 publications, given their now-questionable value?

While members are asked to forget outdated teachings, LDS leadership rarely issues heartfelt apologies for doctrines that have caused pain. Shouldn’t a church claiming divine truth demonstrate humility and accountability?
