I understood your argument to be that one could not deduce the propositions of Scripture from the Axiom.

Of course I agree with that: the propositions of the Bible logical follow from assuming the truth of the Bible. A implies A.

What has not been shown is the logical necessity of a priori knowledge, or how one can deduce anything from it, not the least of which includes the propositions of Scripture.
