Biblical Teaching on the Bible- Source;" Catholics United for the Faith"
The first Christians “were persevering in the doctrine of the apostles” (Acts 2:42; cf. 2 Tim. 1:14) long before the New Testament was written—and centuries before the New Testament canon was settled. The Bible affirms that Christian teaching is “preached” (1 Pet. 1:25), that the Apostles’ successors were to teach what they have “heard” (2 Tim. 2:2), and that Christian teaching is passed on both “by word of mouth [and] by letter” (2 Thess. 2:15; cf. 1 Cor. 11:2). Not everything Christ did is recorded in sacred Scripture (Jn. 21:25).
New Testament authors availed themselves of sacred Tradition. For example, Acts 20:35 quotes a saying of Jesus that is not recorded in the Gospels.
Scripture needs an authoritative interpreter (Acts 8:30-31; 2 Pet. 1:20-21, 3:15-16).
Christ left a Church with divine authority to teach in His name (Mt. 16:13-20, 18:18; Lk. 10:16). The Church will last until the end of time, and the Holy Spirit protects the Church’s teaching from corruption (Mt. 16:18, 28:19-20; Jn. 14:16).
The Church—and not the Bible alone—is the “pillar and bulwark of the truth” (1 Tim. 3:15).
The Bible does not refer to Scripture as the exclusive source of the Word of God. Jesus Himself is the Word (Jn. 1:1, 14), and in 1 Thess 2:13, St. Paul’s first epistle, he refers to “the Word of God which you heard from us.” There St. Paul is clearly referring to oral apostolic teaching: Tradition
In fact, what this and similar texts warn against is the addition of human wisdom to the Word of God. Scripture does not claim that God can only hand down revelation in written form. If God chose to reveal Himself further after the writing of Deuteronomy, and He did, or chooses to reveal Himself through some means other than writing—and He did, notably in the Incarnation of Jesus Christ—then the prohibition of Deut. 4:2 does not apply.
Still one hand clapping. That isn't the way you learn or grow. If you can't be bothered to see the other side, I can't be bothered to respond...
I have actually learned a lot as a result of this thread. The reasearch I have done as a result yielded numerous distict definitions. I am able to see the other sideS.
Then by the above, I know you haven't. Even your fellow Catholics have admitted that the definition is quite well set across numerous sources.
More like rule. "Sola Scriptura is the sole infallible rule of faith..."

I do not teach the Marian dogmas, papal supremacy or infallibility, transubstantiation, indulgences, etc. I teach what is found within the pages of scripture that everyone accepts, not the additional books the RCC added to prop up some of the above doctrines. Beyond that you need to be more specific. I'm honestly not going to dig back through this thread for the context of your quote of me. I do not have the time.
Is there any extra-Biblical writing that is for all intents and purposes, guarenteed to be inerrant?
Yes, the canons of the council of Trent
There's infallible statements.
This might be a stupid question, but how could something be inerrant if it is not also God-breathed?
I'll refer to the above: http://www.christianforums.com/t7868361-18/#post67125665
I have serious trouble understanding on what authority I can be sure any statement is true, unless that statement actually proceeds from God Himself. As far as I am aware, the Scripture alone meets that standard, but I am open to hearing what you have to say.
God bless,

That's where you get these kind of infallible statements:
