Thank you. I had my Logic and Fallacies classes many years ago.

You may want to think thorough applying “Appeals to tradition”, as a fallacy, to a debate on the accepted canon of Scripture, which is entirely based on the rightful authority of those who gave us Christianity’s canon.

Think about it.

Christianity has no accepted ‘canon.’

Paul declared the ancient Hebrew scriptures to be Yehova’s canon of what the apostles called scripture.

Various sects and self appointed tyrants of the catholic church have arbitrarily added and subtracted supposed letters to the NT at will, but lack any authority to do so, as Yeshua declared plainly that there is no man in charge of his assembly.

Puffed up braggadocio!

And you may want to rethink your assertion that it was some human authority that "gave us" the canon of sacred Scripture Christians accept as Divinely-inspired. Do you actually imagine God waited around for church "officials" to decide which of His inspired writings they would received or not? When Almighty God spoke through His prophets, He expected them to be obeyed and it was NOT up for discussion.
