Bruce McConkie (July 1980): Some Prophets Know More and Have More Inspiration than Others

  




Some prophets—I say it respectfully—know more and have greater inspiration than others. Thus, if Brigham Young, who was one of the greatest prophets, said something about Adam which is out of harmony with what is in the Book of Moses and in Section 78, it is the scripture that prevails. This is one of the reasons we call our scriptures the standard works. They are the standards of judgment and the measuring rod against which all doctrines and views are weighed, and it does not make one particle of difference whose views are involved. The scriptures always take precedence. (Bruce R. McConkie, "An Open Letter Directed to 'Honest Truth Seekers'," July 1, 1980
