The origin of the Protestant Canon of Scripture is well documented. The founder of Protestantism, Martin Luther, was a Catholic priest who decided he could do a better job of interpreting a collection of early Catholic writings compiled into a book by the bishops of the Catholic Church, than the Catholic Church could do. So he defected from the Catholic Church and founded his own church, based on "the Bible alone", which obviously meant his personal interpretations of the Bible, including the trashing of 10 books of God's Holy Word that every Christian on Earth had used for the preceding 1,200 years. His own followers were near the point of rebellion over trashing the writings of the Apostles, so he had to back down on the three New Testament books he planned on getting rid of. But he still trashed seven books of the Holy Bible whose contents didn't agree with some of his new ideas. Before he died, there were already half a dozen other Protestant denominations which had defected from his church because they didn't agree with his biblical interpretations. The doctrinal chaos of Protestantism had begun. Today there are over 6,000 registered Protestant denominations, the number increasing every year. They exist in open defiance of the stated will of Jesus Christ concerning His followers, which was and still is "That they all may be one, even as I and My heavenly Father are one". Jesus recognized that truth can exist only in unity, because truth cannot contradict truth, and contradictory beliefs/teachings therefore necessarily mean false beliefs/teachings.
You wrote, "Today there are over 6,000 registered Protestant denominations, the number increasing every year. They exist in open defiance of the stated will of Jesus Christ concerning His followers, which was and still is "That they all may be one, even as I and My heavenly Father are one". So, by saying so, you mean that the Catholic Church is the only true church; Protestant churches are not. And you want people to discuss this with you? Seriously?
The Body of Christ is the one true church, according to the Bible.
