[Avodah] (Neviim & Possible Mistakes); Akeidah & Yizchak

[hankman]

In response to the comments of RHB and RRRW below it has been my understanding (Although I can not cite a specific mekor) that the understanding by a Novi of his Nevuha is in fact infallible. The infallibility stems from the infallibility of Hashem to communicate the exact message he wishes to impart to the Novi, not metsad the Novi himself.

And if a judge convicts someone to die is his word law? - Or do we say
that since "he is not infallible" we cannot execute?

This conflation of authority with infallibilty sounds like a
quasi-anarchistic call to dismiss all authority since humans are
admittedly fallible!
