I would say that Melanchthon was just as much the "hierarchy" as Luther, and it was he who enabled you to retain more of the Scriptures than you would have had otherwise had "pope" Luther got his way. Nah. Melanchthon thought of Luther as his "spiritual father". But it doesn't matter. I don't thank Melanchthon and I don't thank Luther either, on this subject. The Spirit determined what the scriptures would be. Not any man or group of men.

The Spirit determined what the scriptures would be. Any Scripture on that one? And how does the Spirit reveal what the Canon is? Through Joe Smoe? Please...

INDEED . . . which, seems to me, highlights the arrogance of pontificating otherwise.
I'm sure Holy Spirit is very impressed and submissively chastened.
