Historic Christianity gave you your Bible!The NT canon didn't hop up onto a table off the floor.The books which made the cut were selected by men under inspiration of God the Holy Spirit.The criteria was whether it was in accord with oral tradition passed from Christ,the Apostles, and the Church Fathers.

***The criteria was whether it was in accord with oral tradition passed from Christ,the Apostles, and the Church Fathers.*** The criteria was if it agreed with the OT and if it was the word taught by Jesus. It has nothing to do with oral tradition. Tradition fails miserably, just ask the Pharasies.
