Prophets can be wrong.

ORIGINATING DOCTRINE

DOC-020 • Prophetic Fallibility.

Passage actions

WHAT THIS STUDY IS FOR

Honor people whose ideas changed consciousness without converting them into infallible authorities.

Passage actions

A Prophet is a person whose communication with some aspect of God substantially expands the consciousness of other observers. Under Society theology, communion with God does not require a supernatural person dictating sentences. If God is the Whole, studying nature, consciousness, music, suffering, computation, or imagination can become communion with God.

PROPHETIC FALLIBILITY

The title Prophet does not make a person's statements facts. Prophets observe, experience, imagine, communicate, influence, and sometimes get things completely wrong.
