The claim by whom? If you're trying to win a debate with a person who is arguing this way then I would shake the dust off your feet and step away. A person arguing like this is not arguing from Scripture but from autonomous human reason.

And the reformed confessions were also brought up, but again these were rejected as evidence as disproving God's authorship or active causivity of sin because it is extra-biblical.

Ah yes, the bumper sticker for the pseudo-Reformed: Reformed Lite - all the intellectual satisfaction and "ear-tickling" that a philosophical speculation on Scripture can bring with none of the "calories" of having to submit to any authority but your own. Did you ask them if their
opinion on what the Scriptures taught was extra-Biblical?
