Yes, I believe in inspired scripture, but I am still looking for men and councils who had inspiration equal to that level of inspired scripture.
I have found none. There are none.
No man or men or council can become Absolute Beings and with Absolute Certainty compile books together - and we can see this with the oldest available Codices (Codex A, S and B) and the Clermont List and Muratorian fragment.
And no note has ever been sent down by God attached to a compilation saying, “Here is your inspired List and Codex.”
We have relied on men and they failed us.
The men who wrote inspired scripture didn’t fail, but those attempting to decide what books to bind together failed us even as early as 180 A.D and in 300 A.D and with the earliest available Greek manuscripts left today - Codex A, S and B (Vaticanus).
If only those in the Apostolic Age had formally as books were being written and decided which OT and NT books were and weren’t meant to be bound together...
That would seem to make sense (although to me there is a difference between being an inspired author of Scripture, and of having authority through a separate and lesser charism to recognize inspired Scripture already written). If you follow your logic through, however, you have to arrive at the conclusion that NOBODY has the authority to define what books are inspired and which aren't. Everyone, in theory, could make their own canon. If I don't like what's in your canon or you don't like what's in mine, we can legitimately and without sin ignore each other when we cite "Scripture" on any issue. In short, if there is no person or persons that at some point could have the authority to define the canon, then God did not--could not-- give to man a definitive body of inspired writing.
