Here's the reason people tend to have to go along with the doctrine of infallibility: The R/C church.. In short they believe the cannon of scripture was never closed and therefore open for change and reinterpretation. And because the pope is supposedly been handed the power Jesus gave peter he then has the power to add or subtract doctrine at will.
The answer to this is to close the cannon of scripture and say the bible is perfect the way it is/Doctrine of infalliblity. which invalidates any papal decrees or doctrine.
The disclaimer from Got questions is about silencing those who would disagree with a Bible based answer over a pope based answer.
Of course the bible isn't infallible, and that should tell you something.
are you saying it is supposed to be?
If so where do you get this idea if the bible itself never makes this claim?
