It's not special pleading at all, if you have another source in mind that is inerrant please provide me with it. If you do not, then I am not making a false assumption. Secondly, everyone has to resort to circular logic eventually (circular reasoning is not invalid, it just doesn't progress), if you do not believe me, give me a reason as to why we should argue logically; remember not to give me a logical reason though or else you will be using circular reasoning! So again, I presuppose scripture is the ultimate standard of truth, you presuppose human reason is. I believe human reasoning can be derived from scripture. I can use outside sources to help refine my understanding of scripture, but I cannot compromise on the fact that scripture is God’s word.
So just for the sake of argument, let's both assume my worldview is correct and scripture is in fact inerrant. Why would you try and test its inerrancy with sources you know to be capable of committing error?
