The individual scrolls that make up the New Testament were God-inspired and written by the Apostles (or so we believe). The New Testament was compiled by the Church and officially canonized in 397 A.D. Do you DENY these FACTS? Were there any writings left out of the Bible that were inspired? Were there any writings included that were not inspired?

"The New Testament was compiled by the Church and officially canonized in 397 A.D."
The canonization added nothing to the authority and inspiration of the books of the New Testament. The churches had already decided they were the Word Of God. All the the Councils did was distinbuish the legitimate from the uninspired.
