So recently someone speaking in priesthood said outright that any talks given by prophets (latter-day prophets like Joseph Smith / Brigham Young / President Monson) were not considered scripture, and the same was to be thought of ensign articles, and any church publications other than The Standard Works (The Bible, The Book of Mormon, D&C, PoGP). So my question is, is that a correct statement? My understanding was that if the church publishes it, or it was written by a prophet (The Miracle of Forgiveness, Jesus The Christ, The Discourses of Brigham Young, Doctrines of Salvation (which he also said was not scripture)) was all considered scripture. Was I incorrect in assuming materials written by church authorities is to be considered as such? Should I read these books as merely "personal opinions" (his words)?? Any advice on this would be greatly welcomed :)
