“You’ve got me there! *almost*!= All. Thanks for confirming my point.”


And what, exactly, is your point? That we needed the Roman Catholic church to confirm that Jude is scripture, because Irenaeus never had a purpose for quoting it? Or, perhaps, that the epistle to the Hebrews is scripture, since Rome denied that it was scripture in the 4th century, contrary to Jerome’s observation that it was anciently employed within the Christian church?

I will have to stick with Jerome and the early Christian writers over you. Sorry.

“Rome denied that it was scripture in the 4th century”

Ooh. That’s gonna take a [[citation needed]].

“And what, exactly, is your point?”

The point is that Origen’s list differs from the modern canon, and his wasn’t the only one. While again there was substantial overlap but they did differ.
