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...

Regards

Ah, so your men DO work independently from the Spirit. This must be so since you appear to disagree with my statement and seek to take credit away from God and install it into men. Not surprising. However, I would use all the scripture that shows that His word is true, such as 2 Tim. 3:16. If mere men really were able to declare with authority to God's Church that non-scripture was in fact scripture, then all scriptures fail at once. The only way to assure inerrancy would be if God controlled the whole thing. To a large degree, we see this immediately in which NT writings the early Church followed, before the Canon.
