Lots of good verses. Pity they do not show what you think they show.

Yes, we would need to obey the verbal teachings of the Apostles. So...what verbal traditions were passed down bishop to bishop, from 30 AD (or 80 AD) until now? What tradition did the Apostles verbal pass on outside of scripture?

The only one you claim is the canon. But church councils CONFIRMED the canon; they did not create it. The NT scripture was used as such for hundreds of years before the church councils...and is based on being God-breathed, not on a list handed down bishop to bishop from the first century.

Yes,It was used by the Church fathers who were Catholic

and is based on being God-breathed, not on a list handed down bishop to bishop from the first century.

...and since the Scriptures don't come with signed autographs we entrust those early Catholic Church Fathers to give witness that they are authentic.

No matter how you look at this you are putting your faith that the Catholic Church was involved the NT Canon and protected the Scriptures

Good night ,dear brother. I wish you a peaceful blessed evening!
