I don't think you understand, Mamusz. The current leadership is a bunch of lying fill-in-the-blanks, and so they suppose that all scripture written by their predecessors was written by liars as big as they are.

That's why they don't believe any doctrinal foundation in the scriptures. However, paradoxically, they think that we should believe that current scriptures (such as Section 166) are credible and inerrant.
