"Sola scriptura becomes "canon" fodder as soon as the Catholic asks the Protestant to explain how the books of the Bible got into the Bible.

I see you have your marching orders.

Could you protestants do that though, I mean explain how the books got into the Bible, and why they are true and the one's not in the Bible are either false or partially true?

Actually it's a perfect question that puts the burden of proof on a sola scriptura believer.

Sola Scripturists say that everything necessary for the faith is found in the Bible, and everything not found in the Bible is irrelevant at best, false at worst.

I think the Canon of the Bible is of the utmost importance, since how can you follow Scripture without having Scriptures!?!

So the question stands, where in the Bible does it say which books are inspired?
