How to Respond to Prophets' Mistakes | Part 2: Revelation (Patrick Mason & Terryl Givens)

It has become increasingly common (especially among academics) to subtly revise D&C 21:5 to mean that we should be patient "with" the living prophet. In our first video, we responded to this argument based on the plain reading of the verses, examining related verses and words of prophets. In this video, we respond to the related claims that revelation is "fuzzy" or that revelation is only "occasional".
