Let's not get it backwards, you absolutely can use the Bible to support your argument on this website.
The idea is that the thing that asserts an event cannot also be used as evidence for that event. Circular reasoning at its best. I know the Bible is true because the Bible says so. Generally, it is a good idea to use extrabiblical sources if you want to be taken seriously. But there is no rule against using the Bible in support of your argument.
"There remain four irreducible objections to religious faith: that it wholly misrepresents the origins of man and the cosmos, that because of this original error it manages to combine the maximum servility with the maximum of solipsism, that it is both the result and the cause of dangerous sexual repression, and that it is ultimately grounded on wish-thinking." ~Christopher Hitchens, god is not Great
