Ultimately, the determination of which books are worthy to be called scripture is determined by no earthly person but by the Holy Spirit who resides in all believers.

Incorrect.

Men and institutions make a determination about which scriptures are inspired by the Holy Spirit.

Look at the difference between a Catholic (and Orthodox) Bible and a protestant one. They are different because men made the decision to remove or include certain books.

No, the Holy Spirit in His infinite wisdom allowed for the difference so man would not know the whole end. As Christ said when He walked with us. “Only the father Knows”.

Those who claim the Scriptures are man driven are sadly low-balling the Lords purpose in all He does.
