QV please:Besides, if it appears to have unity anyway, it's because the books that make up the Bible were handpicked and decided by vote, IIRC. (how many didn't make the cut?)
Quite a number did not make the cut, including many gospels. Of course, any book that wasn't chosen was not chosen because it is heretical or fake. We know they were heretical or fake, because they were not chosen.![]()
The job of the council was not to create an authorized canon of books, but to created a canon of the authorized books.
In other words, the books of the Bible were already authorized, it was just a matter of filtering out the rest.
If you were put in a room full of legal and non-legal tender and told to sort them out, could you?
Sure you could --- they would be easy to spot:
- one dollar bill here
- two dollar bill here
- three dollar bill there
- four dollar bill there
- five dollar bill here
- etc.
