Acts 17:10-11 also state the the NT Evangelists did not conradict the OT, IMO. That is an important facet to my personal faith.

Another point is that the sciptures we hold today, from Genesis to Revelation, all agree. This shows me that the Holy Spirit - not men - is responsible for this work.

I completely agree.

I think most people don't know how many forgeries, uninspired books, and different sects existed from the time the Apostolic era ended and the rise of Roman Catholicism as the state religion around 400 AD. In that environment the Canon that emerged can only be explained by the intervention of the Holy Spirit. I don't know of any great arguments that the books of the New Testament are not inspired. But I think the historical record shows the Canon was not formed by the RCC.

----- Aaaaaammmmmmmeeeeeeeennnnnnnnn !!!!!!! And that is why they should be valued above the writings of anyone else, be they 2nd century patriarch, 4th century prelate, 10th century bishop, 12 century pope, 16th century reformer, or present day magisterium.
