in application.
Messages such as the following are constantly pounded into the heads of impressionable Mormons:
"Learn to keep your eye on the prophet. He is the Lord’s mouthpiece and the only man who can speak for the Lord today."

Another teaching of the church:
“The most important prophet, so far as we are concerned, is the one who is living in our day and age.”
https://www.churchofjesuschrist.org/study/manual/teachings-of-presidents-of-the-church-ezra-taft-benson/chapter-11-follow-the-living-prophet?lang=engIn reality, we know that even the Lord can't speak for the Lord today. At least, we know that he never does. For some reason, it seems that he can only speak THROUGH the Mormon prophet.
So, if we ever question whether Russell M. Nelson is telling us God's truth, you know where we have to go to get confirmation? That's right! We have to ask......Russell M. Nelson. It's like a cosmic chiasmus:
The Mormon Prophet
Thus hath spoken
We know
His words
Are
God's truth
For
God's truth
Are
His words
We know
Thus hath spoken
The Mormon Prophet
And if you don't believe that this is correct, just ask the Mormon prophet.
I wonder if that works in other areas of Rusty's life.
Rusty to Dallin:
RM: "I'm telling you, you owe me $900 for that thing."
DO: "No I don't."
RM: "God says that you do!"
DO: "Says who?"
RM: "Says God"
DO: "When?"
RM: "Right now."
DO: "Where?"
RM: "Right here."
DO: "What???"
RM: "You owe me $900 for that thing!"
DO: "Wait, you're not God. You know that, right?"
RM: "I'm speaking for God and if you don't believe me...just ask me, I'll confirm it for you."
