"The Word of God is the great detector of error; to it we believe everything must be brought. The Bible must be our standard for every doctrine and practice." Great Controversy p.595 E.G.W.
In hermeneutics, the "liberal" Historical-Critical Method, (Higher-Criticism) is about having a "dialog" with the Scriptures in the context of other sources, reason & experience. The Bible becomes a primary source for doctrinal formation.
While the "conservative" Historical-Grammatical Method, is about submitting to Scripture. Let Scripture interpret Scripture in other words. The Bible is the ONLY source for doctrinal formation.

What sorrow awaits those who argue with their Creator.
Does a clay pot argue with its maker?
Does the clay dispute with the one who shapes it, saying,
'Stop, you're doing it wrong!'
Does the pot exclaim, 'How clumsy can you be?'
Isaiah 45:9 NLT
