2 Timothy 3:16-17 KJVA “All scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness: That the man of God may be perfect, throughly furnished unto all good works.”

I am having a conversation here on nostr with a person who doubts we have the real canon of scriptures. And I mean it's easy to say such things, since the world tells us this all the time...it started in the garden of Eden with "yea, did God say..." And this attack and onslaught is ongoing now since the beginning of the creation.

But God did give us a book. Since Moses he commanded us to write his words, to keep and to preserve them (each king of Israel had to make his own copy of the law).

The purpose was to preserve what he wants us to know for future generations, to make the man of God perfect.

So when we have the Bible it's not a book men wrote. They just provided the pen. God provided the words.

How many books did Christians use before 325 AD, and were they less inspired than the later canon?

Before the council of Nicaea it was already known what's scripture and what's not scripture.

Your question is difficult to answer since I can't go ask them about it. But the gospels and epistles were there and recognized as inspired writings. And used as such (copied and disseminated).

? Not sure what you want to say with the link.

Could you perhaps elaborate?

I can. However, if you don't see the obvious, then there is no point.
