If one rejects the One, Holy, Catholic and Apostolic Church, on what basis can one accept the Scripture that is of, by, and for that Church? Given that it was the Magisterium that codified the canon and promulgated the idea that that particular list of writings was inspired by God, why would someone who considers the Church a corrupt institution of man have any faith in the writings. For all they know, the Church could have made up the New Testament out of whole cloth. It makes no sense to me.
