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.

What authority infallibly canonized the Bible?

It certainly wasn't your religion...

Psa 12:6 The words of the LORD are pure words: as silver tried in a furnace of earth, purified seven times.
Psa 12:7 Thou shalt keep them, O LORD, thou shalt preserve them from this generation for ever.

That statement excludes anyone in your religion from having any authority dealing with what is or what isn't scripture...We can be sure we have the scriptures in spite of your religion...

Look at your religion...If the gates of hell aren't prevailing against it, I don't know what is...

Yours is not the Church of Christ...The bible condemns your religions practices all thru out the scriptures...The words of God are available to everyone...He says no one is infallible and he condemns your religion...

And "the gates of hell" HAVE NOT prevailed against HIS Church! The Vatican/RCC have been exposed nearly 500 years ago - get over it.

God's Church is ALIVE and WELL as HIS WORD is, also. 'Man -made teachings have NO power and have NO authority vs. the POWER OF HOLY Spirit inspired Word...

"For the Word of God is ALIVE and ACTIVE. Sharper than any double-edged sword, IT penetrates even to dividing soul and spirit, joints and marrow; IT judges the thoughts and attitudes of the heart."
