The Books that were placed in the NT canon are those selected under the guidance of the Holy Spirit .

It is sheer hubris to imply that the men of the early church selected them ..so we should feel indebted to them as if they were the authors.

We trust God that He can even use an ass to accomplish His will.

The Catholic church did preserve it ..but they also kept it from the people, so much so that even today the majority of Catholics have never read it for themselves.

How can you say which books are inspired and which are not? Here for example are two short books included in the Canon (KJV version). What’s in these books that so obviously makes them inspired?

Book of Philemon

3 John
