>>There were hundreds of other Christian writings.<<

By the apostles who Jesus said would be given the Holy Spirit to “bring to their remembrance” and who Paul cautioned to be the only ones to listen to?

“..and who Paul cautioned to be the only ones to listen to? “

So we should NOT pay attention to those odd folks who CLAIM to have special knowledge while they espouse and proclaim falsehoods? Like a certain cynical one?

Of the Apostles, only Matthew and John wrote Gospels, and we know this fact only by tradition, because neither author identifies himself by Name. Yes, the canon consists of writings attributed to Apostles or to those close to them. But nowhere in these writing is there a list or even a divine command that someone produce such works.
