>>However, it was the founders of the Catholic Church after 300AD that decided what those scriptures would be.<<
No, it was God who promised to preserve His word for ALL generations. Not that there would be some gap until the Mormons started up. Also, the Old Testement scriptures were entrusted to the Jews, not the Catholics.
>>So you reject organized religion, but yet you use the list of scriptures approved by organized religion religion, is that right?<<
No, I don't. I use the scriptures the Jews held as scriptures and what the apostles wrote. The Catholics, Mormons, and Muslims add to those.
>>So, if you believe God was working through them, how can you say God wasn't working through them when they organized their church?<<
God worked through Judas, Harrod, and Balaam's donkey also. Do you always follow someone who gets just one thing right?

Really?
2 Chron 9:
29 Now the rest of the acts of Solomon, first and last, are they not written in the book of Nathan the prophet, and in the prophecy of Ahijah the Shilonite, and in the visions of Iddo the seer against Jeroboam the son of Nebat?
Could you post your copy of the Prophecy of Ahijah... I'm missing that.
Not that there would be some gap until the Mormons started up.

Amos 8:
11 Behold, the days come, saith the Lord God, that I will send a famine in the land, not a famine of bread, nor a thirst for water, but of hearing the words of the Lord:
12 And they shall wander from sea to sea, and from the north even to the east, they shall run to and fro to seek the word of the Lord, and shall not find it.
The words of God Himself that says that His word would not be found on the earth. Since Amos speaks of "an only son", meaning Jesus and since there were prophets on the earth from his time till John, he has to be talking about the time after John.
No, I don't. I use the scriptures the Jews held as scriptures and what the apostles wrote. The Catholics, Mormons, and Muslims add to those.
You have some of the scriptures..not all. The Catholics gave you your Bible. Without them there would be no Bible.
