How about rather we do it this way. We start with the 66 books that no one has ever been able to prove contain errors. Then, if any other books considered have proven to have any error whatsoever we determine those to be not divinely inspired and discard them as from the deceiver.

No thanks. You just want to be the fallible man with all authority, even over what is in the canon of Holy Scripture.

No thanks, I’ll stick with Christ’s plan: His Church, the pillar and foundation of the truth, guided by the Holy Spirit.

I would think you would remember your own rule on this without my constant reminders.

"How about rather we do it this way."

OK, we simply let each person decide their own canon and interpretation of Scripture.........oh, wait, that has been tried and didn't work.

Only if you can get your hands on the originals. Would you not admit that the Comma Johanneum, added later, changed things considerably? How about the baptismal formula in Matthew 28? The earliest copies do not contain the Trinitarian formula. Does that mean error?
