Well, nobody has yet answered the question, "Who determined the contents of Scripture?"

As you noted, Tiki gave the answer about 100 posts ago but is being studiously ignored.

That's the real problem with YOPIOS . . . not that individual interpretations vary widely, but that the first interpretation was necessary.

YOPIOS ALERT!!!

You have invoked the invalid argument of YOPIOS. Any debate that may be occurring is officially ended. Your opponent is hereby declared victorious.

Thanks for playing. Better luck next time!

The Holy Spirit determined the contents of the New Testament

The Spirt inspired the writers and then inspired the men that worked on the Canon( which BTW was not closed until Trent in response to Luther )

And yea mom you did invoke YOPIOS by using it as an adjective :)
