The inspired writings of God were essentially established as being so like unto true men of God were, that being due to their Divine qualities and attestation. And which would also manifest there were no more books like them (though by making nebulous Cath. Tradition equal to Scripture and enjoining obedience to extrabiblical laws, with Rome being supreme, she is essentially adding to Scripture.)
In both cases the powers that be should recognize and affirm such as being of God, but sometimes they are not, yet are what they are regardless.
An infallible magisterium is not necessary to recognize and establish writings as Scripture, and nor does being the steward of Scripture and inheritor of Divine promises and having historical descent make such infallible.
Yes, I agree with you on most everything you said. Though, there might be some books like them, I suppose, that God has chosen to keep hidden during these times for some reason. If we discovered such a book, I think that it would eventually be widely recognized for what it was, on its own merit.
“An infallible magisterium is not necessary to recognize and establish writings as Scripture”
Indeed. All it requires is Your Own Personal Opinion.
You can have it your way.
