Seriously, it surpasses good sense to think the Church canonized non-inspired books. If it had, even her reliability in canonizing the correct ones would have been fatally undermined. The whole thing would have been debatable and up for grabs: hurricane hits a double-wide.

“Seriously, it surpasses good sense to think the Church canonized non-inspired books.”

No. it was a process, starting with a list of books recognized by early church leaders. They early lists were not perfect.

“If it had, even her reliability in canonizing the correct ones would have been fatally undermined. The whole thing would have been debatable and up for grabs: hurricane hits a double-wide.”

But of course this reflects the underlying presuppositions of a faithful catholic. In history, nothing stops God’s work or will. He remains sovereign.
