What scripture do you cite that permits such a qualifying term?

That's a fallacious argument. Scripture may be the only infallible rule of faith and of life, but that doesn't mean that an argument requires a succint sound-byte citation to verify it. Topcat, being Reformed, subscribes to the "good-and-necessary-inference" rule.

fallacious
–adjective 1. containing a fallacy; logically unsound: fallacious arguments. 2. deceptive; misleading: fallacious testimony. 3. disappointing; delusive: a fallacious peace.

What definition are you using?

What is the "good-and-necessary-inference" rule?

My faith is grounded in scripture. New ideas cannot contradict scripture because, well that would contradict scripture. If TC can show me how he comes to his conclusions from scripture, that would level the playing field alot and perhaps show me the error of my ways.
