Moved here from notes/reasoning/justification.md in the tier migration. The per-question reasoning now lives on each doctrine’s reasoning page: S01.1 · F12.1 · S01.2 · S01.3 · S01.4 · S01.5.

Justification: reasoning steps

Each verdict in categories/justification.md links here. Source anchors point to notes/sources, and exegesis to Scripture notes.

Weighing criteria (always applied): (1) agreement with Scripture’s sense in context, read in the original language; (2) each father’s own polemical context; (3) date and breadth of witness; (4) explicit statement outranks inference; (5) unverified texts carry no weight.
