Modern Pharasaism Exposed

The reason Jesus was so angry on many occasions was the threat posed by elite Pharasaical doctorcraft, which now is termed "Scholarship" in Mormonism. Actually the Devil is the very same, human nature is the very same, and God is the very same as yesterday, therefore little has "progressed". This phenomenom encountered by Jesus and the Apostles was this attempt by the Devil to subvert the Kingdom of God with man-made institutions or humanism which rely solely on reasoning and learning, excluding revelation from God. Saul (later named Paul) was a student of Hillel considered even today as the greatest scholar of Judaism. Of course Hillel did not receive revelation from God, but operated by his own reasoning. Saul persecuted the true Church, from which Judaism had deviated, considering them heretics. After the conversion of Paul, he commented on his former learning and thoughts under the tutelage of Hillel: " When I was a child, I spake as a child, I understood as a child, I thought as a child: but when I became a man, I put away childish things." (1 Cor 13:11)

"We have no right to take the theories of men, however scholarly, however learned, and set them up as a standard, and try to make the Gospel bow down to them; making of them an iron bedstead upon which God's truth, if not long enough, must be stretched out, or if too long, must be chopped off-anything to make it fit into the system of men's thoughts and theories! On the contrary," he instructed the Saints, "we should hold up the Gospel as the standard of truth, and measure thereby the theories and opinions of men." (Robert L. Millet, The Power of the Word: Saving Doctrines from the Book of Mormon, p.293-294)
