This is interesting. This comes up a lot because people confuse logical priority with temporal. Saying Scripture is objectively true does not mean we can not know things in the sense of have certain beliefs - but that the epistemic justification of the truth of the belief is always going to be wanting apart from Scripture. You may "know" things (in the informal sense) before you learn the Scriptures - but these beliefs may not be objectively true. The logical priority that justifies knowledge often comes after one thinks they "know" something.
