[ScubieNuc]

This is the time period when Bible canon was taking place and this would mean that you trusted corrupt men to give you Bible canon.

A huge error occurs when Catholics elevate the men who recognized God's inspired works and put them into a canon, verses elevating God or His inspired works. When you do this it allows you to elevate their other writtings to be equal to or greater then Scripture. Also, by your logic, the whole New Testament wasn't worth much until 300 years later when other men declared it so. That's just patently ridiculous.

Gnostism occurred early in the first century after Christ and is why some of the letters were written. These letters were recognized as inspired by God as soon as they were delivered. Churches would make copies and send them to other churches for guidance from known Apostles appointed by God (such as Paul).

If what Paul wrote for guidance to the very first Christain churches was inspired then, then it still is inspired. If it was good enough for the very first Christians to study and follow, it's good enough for us to study and follow. Anything that leads me away from that, I will reject. So far, most of what I have ever seen of the practices and doctrines of the Catholic Church lead people away from Scripture and toward believing in the beliefs of some men who lived hundreds of years after Christ.

A huge error occurs when Catholics elevate the men who recognized

A huge error occurs when one elevates his OWN interpretations of Scripture above 2000 plus years of consistent teachings from the early Church Fathers and people such as Saint Iganatius and Polycarp who were Disciples of the Apostles.

This huge error has produces thousands of denominations separated from the Body of Christ.
