..."the Spirit speaketh the truth and lieth not. Wherefore, it speaketh of things as they really are, and of things as they really will be.."

The Holy Ghost will not tell you that it is okay to be unfaithful to your spouse.
Just a small portion of what a Bishop hears, sometimes from people not even in his own ward.
