Can you describe the process that God specifically gave the Bible canon to you personally?

It was the same way every other Bible believing Christian has received it. After the last of the Bible manuscripts had been written, God moved certain men to form a Canon of scriptures, 66 books. These are the same books that God's Church had already accepted and was using. Other books were added later by a group of men not led by God, but the original 66 are still in use today by Bible believing Christians. We can know that the latter group was not led by God because the scriptures prohibit adding to them. If God's intent was to have the extra books included, then they would have been a part of the original Canon.

A group of men added books to the Old Testament which the Apostles used as part of the Scriptures? I don't think so. It was one man, Luther, who decided what is scripture and what is not.
