Goodness there is arguing with the Bible now?

(Why not? BYU professors like Robert L. Millet not only disregard the Bible entirely for ANY Mormon key doctrines, thereby "arguing" that the Bible has ANY bearing whatsoever upon the Mormon church...and individual Mormon lifestyles for that matter!):

'The FACT is, we do NOT depend on the Bible or on traditional biblical interpretations for our theology...In short, the Bible is not, and was never intended to be, our sole guide, our template, our standard against which we measure what we teach or believe.'

Source: By What (Whose) Standards Shall We Judge the Text? A Closer Look at Jesus Christ in the Book of Mormon Reviewed by Robert L. Millet -- in Review of Books on the Book of Mormon 6/1 (1994) [pp. 198-199 in hard copy form] [scroll down to 2nd graph from the bottom]

Hence, I nominate "Professor Millet" of BYU to receive the Grand Ignoble Award of the Past 20 years! -- as expressing exactly opposite what the Bereans were honored for in Acts 17:11:

11 Now the Berean Jews were of more noble character than those in Thessalonica, for they received the message with great eagerness and examined the Scriptures every day to see if what Paul said was true.

Millet advised The Bible is NOT "our sole guide, our template, our standard against which we measure what we teach or believe" ... hence, ignoble based upon Acts 17:11...

Ignoble:
Definition: 1. not honorable in character or purpose. "ignoble feelings of intense jealousy" synonyms: dishonorable, unworthy, base, shameful, contemptible, despicable, dastardly, vile, degenerate, shabby...

(Perhaps Millet was a bit jealous that his precious Book of Mormon was being overshadowed by the Bible?)

Wow! An out and out denial of following scripture. Purely Satanic.
