Let me rephrase my response. The compilation of scrolls that comprise one physical book (OT and NT), did not exist in 325 AD.

But the scrolls DID exist. It's irrelevant that they were not compiled together. The compilation of them did not make them Scripture. They are Scripture because they were intrinsically Scripture.

They were recognized as Scripture long before 325 AD and the *Catholic church* putting its stamp of approval on them changes nothing and means nothing, except to Catholics.
