It is always disappointing when LDS who should know better accept blasphemous theology. Robert L. Millet, in his most recent book on Paul’s epistles (as has his collagues D. Kelly Ogden and Andrew C. Skinner) teaches the blasphemous Protestant doctrine of imputation. Commenting on Romans 4, Millet wrote that:
Paul then introduces us to the
word impute. To impute means to put on one’s ledger, to place on one’s
account, or to credit that person. He then quotes the Palms: “Blessed is he
whose transgression is forgiven, whose sin is covered. Blessed Is the man unto
whom the Lord imputeth not iniquity, and in whose spirit there is no guile”
(Psalm 32:1-2). When we break the laws of God, God imputes to us sin with its
consequences; figuratively speaking. He places it on our spiritual ledger. On
the other hand, those who demonstrate true faith in God, through both belief
and behavior, have righteousness and its consequences imputed to them. (Robert
L. Millet, Becoming New: A Doctrinal Commentary on the Writings of Paul [Salt
Lake City: Deseret Book, 2022], 3)
To see by Millet is simply wrong about λογιζομαι (the verb the KJV rendered as ‘to
impute’) and how the doctrine of imputation is anti-biblical, see:
