Logical Fallacy of Negating Antecedent and Consequent / Improper TranspositionImproper transposition is a formal fallacy that covers up the problem when reasoning is based on one of the three fallacies of Agrippa's trilemma. Whenever a logical fallacy is committed, the fallacy has its roots in Agrippa's trilemma. All human thought (without Divine revelation) is based on one of three unhappy possibilities. These three possibilities are infinite regress, circular reasoning, or axiomatic thinking. This problem is known as Agrippa's trilemma. Some have claimed that only logic and math can be known without Divine revelation; however, that is not true. There is no reason to trust either logic or math without Divine revelation. Science is also limited to the pragmatic because of the weakness on human reasoning, which is known as Agrippa's trilemma. The Logical Fallacy of Negating Antecedent and Consequent / Improper Transposition occurs when the antecedent and consequent are transposed in the conclusion and the negation is reversed in propositional logic.

In fact, other Scriptures tell us that unless God leads you to do it and unless you submit to His Spirit so that He can do it through you, it is sin.
