I think I heard that there were 18 books refereed to in the new Testament that were not included. Some no longer exist so much has been lost. I don't like the idea of just one person deciding what should be included and what should not be.

The issue, from where I sit, is did Our Lord appoint Apostles to run His Church after He Ascended into Heaven? And if He did, did He give the Apostles the authority to answer questions like these? That has a great deal to do with why I am Catholic.

So then who decides what should be in and what should be out?

If you’re not comfortable with one person - why would you support Luther’s canon?
