Then how come Martin Luther removed various books from his German translation that would go on to become the standard for Protestant Bibles? Was the Holy Spirit asleep at the wheel for all those years while those books were in there? Who gave him the authority to do so?

Should we have included the various other Gospels and Epistles that were floating around the Roman world at the time of the Apostles and their immediate successors and disciples? If not, who made the judgment call?

Clement’s First Epistle to the Corinthians was treated as canonical by many segments of Christianity up through the 5th century, but it’s not anymore. Similarly with the Didache. Why is that?

On whose authority was the Canon decided?
