The Catholic Church decided the Canon of scripture and put together the first Christian Bible at the councils of Rome, Carthage, and hippo. If you don't trust Church Authority, what makes you think you have the correct Canon of scripture? Is there any scripture verses that declare all of those books to be inspired by God?
How do you know there wasn't scriptures that never made it into that volume?
If you accept that your Bible is the inspired word of God, and has the correct collection of books, you are indeed saying that you trust Church Authority outside of scripture.
So if the Bible is your final Authority, why doesn't the Bible say it is the final Authority? Why doesn't the Bible it's self give you any proof that it is the inspired word of God?
