AstaghfirAllah! Shameful!
Anyone who has these beliefs are clearly not on the path of sunnah!
Bro, before you start accusing me of deviant beliefs keep in context what i'm trying to say. I'm not argueing with the fact that the Prophet (saaws) is the best of creation, our guide, our role model, the one who should be loved the most out of all creation. Nor am I saying that he sins, rather what i'm saying is that the fact remains that he was a human being.
When I said he would err, I meant he would err in humanly matters (i.e. unintentional mistakes) but not as a Prophet (i.e. not mistakes in religion). He could forget something such as praying an extra ra'ka during prayer (this is a hadeeth, I can get the actual text if you want), or make a mistake in a worldly matter such as a hadeeth that is narrated in Saheeh Muslim by Rafi' ibn Khudayj:
The Prophet (s) came to Madeenah, and they were pollinating the date-palms. He said "What are you doing?" They said, "We always used to pollinate them." He said, "Perhaps if you do not do that, it will be better." So they did not do it, and the harvest was lacking. They mentioned that to him, and he said, "I am only a human being like you. If I tell you to do something with regard to religion, then follow it, but if I tell you to do something based on my own opinion, I am only a human being." (narrated in Muslim, 2361).
Troubled Soul, if you or anyone else are unclear about anything I have said then PM me and I will be happy to clearify any doubts.
With that said, unfortunatly this thread seems to be taking a wrong turn so I will be closing it.
