Comment on What is a Prophet? by terrie

Will, congratulations on working towards such an important decision and for taking it so seriously. I’m a convert as well, and this was one of my questions. My own personal opinion is this: When most churches are trying to decide who God wants to run their church, they hold elections among certain leaders. Often they have to vote again and again, which suggests they aren’t sure of the actual answer. This puts God’s church at great risk, since they might choose for the wrong reasons, including simply a desire to finish the process. By having the senior apostle become the prophet, God is entirely in charge. He controls life and death and so there can be no question as to who is to be the prophet. As God places each person into the position of apostle, He knows when each one will die and can put them in place accordingly. The next person in line also knows he may be the prophet and can begin to prepare himself accordingly. There is no confusion, no campaigning, no personal preference, no drama–just an orderly procession of continual leadership, and God’s house is a house of order. As I said, this is my own opinion on the subject. Prayer can make you comfortable that whoever the next prophet is, and whatever the reason for the procedure, that person will be God’s choice, not man’s.

I’m currently investigating the church and seriously considering baptism. The missionaries have told me to pray to know if Thomas S. Monson is the true prophet. My question is, if a prophet is chosen by God why is it the tradition of the church to have the senior apostle become the prophet?

I simply want a complete understanding of how the church works before making such a huge commitment and the Bible and Book of Mormon say to question and seek answers so this is why I’m asking in addition to prayer.

I have read the biography of Pres. Monson. I have always had a deep love and respect for him. But I believe that behind every good man is a good woman. I’d love to learn more about Frances Monson. I’m sure she is as amazing as her husband.

Claudia — The Mormon Church is concerned about the immigration issue. Of course, compassion and law have to find a way to work together for the good of all. You can read about current developments in the following article: http://www.mormonwiki.com/Mormons_and_Immigration. Good luck.

I cannot help but cry tears of joy upon reading inspiring stories such as these especially the one with the couple with 8 children. I for one have been blessed to see how the windows of heaven open in my behalf and my loved ones when tithing is paid from the heart! Thank you for posting this! =’)
