Those “church guys” were taught by the Apostles who preserved, taught, and discerned the Scriptures you trust today. Reject the early Church and you don’t just lose tradition. You lose authority, moral clarity, and even the foundation of your Bible. Sola Scriptura only works if you pretend the Church never existed.

For over a thousand years Christians used a 73 book Bible drawn from the Septuagint the very Scriptures quoted by Jesus and the apostles. Then in 1534 Martin Luther moved seven Old Testament books out because they contradicted his theology especially faith alone. He called them useful but not Scripture and even questioned parts of Daniel and Esther. The Church did not scramble to add anything back. At Trent it simply reaffirmed what Christians had already been reading since the beginning. Catholics did not change the Bible during the Reformation. The Reformation changed the Bible.
