apostalic infallibilty

in priesthood on sunday, we were having the lesson on forgiveness and reading pres. grant's account of when he was a junior member of the twelve.

basically the story is about how he hwld a grudge, was unwilling to forgive somebody who sought rebaptism into the church, and later learned to drop his grudge, and learn to forgive. he recalled how he went from wanting to punch the guy in the face to being truly happy for him.

the teacher asked why elder grant was at first unwilling to vote that the man be rebaptized. our ward peter-priesthood-extraordinaire answered, "because the spirit told him not to."

what? huh? whoodawhadda???

the story clearly says that it was his harsh feelings that kept him from forgiving the man and that it was the spirit that told him to forgive.

why is it that some people have to defend the ga's at all costs, denying them human nature... even when the ga's say that they were wrong?

granted, this was andrew who said that god doesn't care if a poor child in africa is starving... because "he sees the bigger picture."

i know we should respect the general authorities and not say crap about them, but is it wrong to acknowledge that they are human beings like us and struggle with things just as we do... especially when they are explicitly saying that?

uggghhhh... some people
