Protestants believe the books of the Bible we accept are infallible.

Which Bible? The Catholic canon? The Orthodox canon? The Protestant canon?

Why is the Protestant canon to be judged superior to the Catholic or Orthodox canons? And how do we know that it is inerrant?

Since Luther rejected the canon of Scripture that existed in his day, he violated his own principle of "the Bible alone."

We do not believe our choices were infallible.

This would mean that Luther acted fallibly when rejecting books from the Bible that existed in his time.

(In fact, R.C. Sproul has called the Bible a fallible collection of infallible books.)

Luther is not the entire Protestant Reformation; he was merely the first prominent Reformer.

I’m suffering a very bad cold, so I’ll get back to you on this when I can breathe and think logically. Else I’d be in church today.
