Well, I guess we're getting a little off topic but I need to respond. It says towards the end of the Bible that Jesus taught many things which weren't listed in the Bible. Jesus also gave the keys to his kingdom to Peter. This authority is how we are able to discern the true New Testament writing from the gnostic gospels and other invented writings.
By the way, since you aren't a Catholic anymore, can you tell me how you can discern the correct books in the Bible from the incorrect ones? And also can you say where Sola Scriptura is mentioned in the Bible?
(Matthew 16:18-19) And I tell you, you are Peter, and on this rock I will build my church, and the gates of Hell will not prevail against it.
19 I will give you the keys of the kingdom of heaven, and whatever you bind on earth will be bound in heaven, and whatever you loose on earth will be loosed in heaven.

I don't follow. How is Peter's authority give us discernment over the trus New Testamant writings? Did Peter put the Bible together?
My Bible is comprised of 66 books-39 Old and 27 New Testament books. All the books contained in them are the correct books. I have no idea what Sola Scripture is.
