nonscriptural
This term is primarily utilized within theological, academic, or ecclesiastical discourse to distinguish between doctrines derived from sacred texts and those arising from tradition, oral history, or human reason. It carries a neutral, descriptive tone, though in strict fundamentalist contexts, it may imply a lack of divine authority.
Because it functions as a technical adjective describing the source of a belief or practice, it is rarely used in casual conversation. It specifically targets the origin of a claim, contrasting the written word of scripture with external influences like cultural customs or philosophical speculation.
