Protestants must either accept that the Church indeed has authority to declare what is canonical and what is not - or they must admit that they have no consistent basis for ruling out those weird 'Gospels' that depict Christ baking his friends in an oven, turning bread into birds or being suspended over Jerusalem by his hair.

Is it possible God had a Hand in preservation in His Word? If so, then mans part is insignificant in comparison. What happened to "Give God the Glory"? Was it replaced by "Look! Look! at Me! Look! Look! at my church!"? All things work to the glory of God but they do not replace/diminish Him.

So then you do acknowledge that the Canon was put together by the Catholic church?
