I didn’t realize
That someone calling themselves a “Christian”
believed that Holy Spirit went back to Heaven or had
HIS HANDS AND VOICE TIED AND SILENCED
during that process.
I’m sure God is impressed that you’ve declared Him incompetent and/or AWOL in the compiling of The Canon.
I don’t understand this, what do you mean?
For more than three hundred years the Doctors of the Church debated the issue. Some material was excluded, and some was included after great debate. I can think of no one or no occasion when God spoke to church leaders and demanded that Revelation either be included or excluded. The New Testament may be the word of God, but its organization (and translation) was man-made.

I’m trying to say . . . that God The Holy Spirit had no trouble arriving at precisely The Canon of Scripture that God The Holy Spirit wanted . . . even though it involved fallible people and a process.
Actually, the process was essentially the same outlined in I Cor 14 for vetting a prophetic utterance.
It’s just that 300-400 years of process can be a bit more THROUGH THE REFINER’S FIRES than a 20 minute deliberation. And, the arriving at The Canon process was considerably more important to God and Man than vetting a modern prophetic utterance is.
