In doing so you elevate your PERSONAL interpretations above those who decided New Testament canon and the early Christians who consistently interpreted scripture through the ages.

Now there you go again...Your early Christian fathers did NOT consistantly interpret the scriptures...They have constantly changed their interpretations over the years...

And these changers of interpretation may have determined your canon...They didn't determine the canon that God gave us...

By this analogy you trash the martyr's and Saints and think God is using you to correct them.

God uses millions of Christians to correct your saints where they disagree with the scriptures...And they do, a lot...

They were absolutely consistent on the TRUE presence in the Eucharist.

You know this, and this is why you cannot provide a list of writings to say otherwise

Since the Bible did not fall from the sky you're going to have to come to grips that God used devout holy Catholic men to decide the canon. He did not suck the brains out of their heads either!
