John Lewis Lund teaches that, when a prophet speaks as a prophet, his words carry the same force as one of the Ten Commandments; God inspires prophets, not vice versa.

- Transcription
Mormons view a prophet as God’s literal mouthpiece on earth. When a prophet speaks as a prophet, it carries the same force as one of the Ten Commandments. This is because of the Mormon belief in continuous revelation. The faithful Latter-day Saint accepts the prophet’s words as God’s will. Prophets do not inspire God: God inspires prophets.
