To: Quix
It's difficult to know how to respond to utter nonsense.

It is an argument, and there are only ways to refute an argument: show one of the premises to be false or show that conclusion does not follow from the premises. So here is the argument laid out in syllogistic form:

(1) Quix has the same authority as the Apostles,

(2) We do not need to obey Quix.

Therefore:

(3) We do not need to obey the Apostles. [from (1) & (2)]

(4) The NT is the writing of the Apostles

Therefore:

(5) We do not need to obey the NT: [from (3) and (4)]

I'm not sure if the tidy little box has shrunk or the . . . have bound up.

But I doubt I'll research it out very far.
