Conveniently rejecting the proclamations of synods and councils as well,

The point is that Scripturally they are not infallible, and you have failed to give a coherent answer to my basic questions, thus my response must wait.

[RobbyS]

"The fact is that the church began upon Scriptural substantiation in word and in power, as alone it is the supreme material standard for obedience and testing truth claims, as is abundantly evidenced . In contrast is that of a person or church decreeing that it alone is the supreme infallible interpreter.”

There is circularity in this claim. Yes, the 2nd Century based its claims on the doctrines than came from the Apostles, and the fact that they were in writing substantiated their historicity. But the fact that they had been preserved seems to indicate they were preserved because they substantiated the claims of those who preserved them. Doctrinally, they are evidence, but they are a collection, not a treatise or a catechism, or a book of disciple. Like any library, they tells as much about the owner as they do about the writers.
