I disagree. The Canon was settled by God. We accepted it. We didn't decide. It is a point which I insist upon grinding into the ground. The council decided nothing other than to accept the will of God as to the Canon. Every believer is free to do the same. Luther's desire to remove some books (as yet unquantified by Conservative til I die) from the Canon has not been followed by Protestantism as he is not any more authoritative than Irenaeus (or any less).
I agree with you on most of this. However, it was the council that decided what books were to be included in the Canon. They did this by the inspiration of the Holy Spirit. The council did not just sit down and declare God's will. Too vague. They had to hash out what belonged in the Canon and what didn't. God did not hand them a list of books to be included in the Canon and say it was His will, now go vote on it. No, God worked through men to settle the Canon for all time.

So are you saying that the Protestant Bibles contain the books of 1 and 2 Esdra, Tobit, Judith, Wisdom, Ecclesiasticus, Baruch, and 1 and 2 Maccabees as part of the Bible and not as an added appendix of interesting early Christian literature, otherwise known as the Protestant Apocrypha?
