Now as to those who would question to duetero's in the OT, I would point toward the clear example of Mr. Luther, highlighted above. But Mr. Luther was not the first example. For that, we should go to a Second Century "hero," by the name of Marcion. Rather than reprinting the whole article here, I'd refer the reader to: ntcanon.org.

Sort of like some folk today, Marcion threw out all of the NT epistles, with the exception of the Pauline epistles. He also threw out all the Gospels except for Luke.

Almost certainly, Marcion used the same argument that some Protestants continue to use today - "The Spirit told me what is Scriptures".

Fortunately, the Church doesn't listen to such foolishness. We'd have a different canon every month!
