Thank you for your comment. I think perhaps you missed an important point, however. Nowhere in the post does it say Mormons put their faith in the prophet instead of Jesus Christ. It is important to remember Jesus did not leave any direct writings, nor did God. All we know of either of them comes to us through the prophets who received and wrote their words.

Mormons don’t believe God is incapable of speaking to us today, nor do we believe He doesn’t love us enough to guide us toward the second coming in the same way He guided His children toward the first coming.

The Bible teaches us to trust and obey the prophets–remember what happened to the people who refused to trust and listen to Noah? That is the job of a prophet–not to replace Jesus, but to lead people to Him.
