There are some discussions just better left alone

And this is one of them.

No discussion of the significance, authority, and place for scripture can honestly take place without acknowledging the historical role that the Catholic church played in determining what books were inspired and which were not, and in closing the canon. Anyone who wants to wriggle, manipulate, avoid and in otherways dismiss this fact is either being intellectually dishonest or is just ignorant of how the canon was historically created. Even Martin Luther gave a nod to the church for the existence of the canon.
