Only a Church Council, or the pope, had the authority to determine the canon of Scripture.

And just who decided THAT?

A Church Council and the popes...LOLOLOLOLOLOLOL...

As opposed to... who?

You?

Martin Luther? The man who wanted to remove the book of James from his Bible?

Who infallibly determined which books would constitute the New Testament? The Old Testament? And by what authority?

The Authority that determined the canon of Scripture has to have been divinely inspired, otherwise, as R.C. Sproul said, "we have a fallible collection of infallible books."

Maybe that makes sense to you and other Protestants. It doesn't make sense to me.

This is a simple, logical question.

What authority infallibly canonized the Bible?

It's very telling that you seem to reflexively despise the Church of Christ, "the pillar and foundation of truth," to which Christ commanded us to take our disagreements, and which "the gates of hell" would not prevail against.

I’m not impressed with self-proclaimed authority.
