It never fails to amaze me just how much the thought of following God breathed, Holy Spirit inspired Scripture alone pushes Catholic over the edge.

The way they fight and rail against the thought and would rather trust in fallible men goes to show just here they are spiritually.

How did we get the canon of Scripture, anyway?

I ask in part because the first sentence reminded me of Marcion, an "interesting" early figure who defined the canon as only a fraction of what most Christians accept today. (What he accepted was his version of the gospel of Luke and certain letters of Paul.) Following his "scripture alone" would yield different results for one's theology.
