Lk 1: 49 For he that is mighty hath done to me great things; and holy is his name.
Matt 28:20
20 Teaching them to observe all things whatsoever I have commanded you: and, lo, I am with you always, even unto the end of the world. Amen.

The scripture quickened within a person by the Holy Spirit is the Word of God. That is not the dead carcass alone!
That is a personal opinion Amadeus.
Do we decide on what is the word of God by personal opinion?
Yes it does but you would not know it. Why? Because you have been taught something different. And that is also why the Catholic church is chock full of errors. God tells Christians to "come out of her". Not promote her errors.
Even if it did - and you have provided no evidence for that - it would not prove anything.
You first have to prove that the Bible is the inerrant word of God. Otherwise any claims it makes are fallible.

This "problem" does not exist regarding someone who has Jesus in them, if they are in line with correct FAITH.
See, Jesus is the WORD made FLESH< and the BIBLE is the word of GOD.
See how that connects?
And God, who is Christ in all the born again, reveals His WORD, in you.
When this does not happen, its because the book you are using is not a real bible......or its because the person is not born again, or they are deceived and deception shuts off the Light of revelation, which keeps the bible LOCKED......so that is seems "confusing" to this one.
On your question, no, we do not decide the Truth by our opinion. Jesus is the Word of God. Jesus is the Truth. How well does each believe know the Word of God and the Truth? God knows the answer to my question. Do I? If my answer agrees with Him, then, yes! If not, then, no! But who has the clear and definite yes, and who has only a, no? Apostle Paul was inspired by God to write:
"For now we see through a glass, darkly; but then face to face: now I know in part; but then shall I know even as also I am known." I Cor 13:12
You and others may disagree with me and consider it only my opinion, but for me it is more than opinion. God knows. Of course, like others, I believe that I am right...
"Every way of a man is right in his own eyes: but the LORD pondereth the hearts" Prov. 21:2
really?
from the Bible alone
What is the Bible?
What is not the Bible?
What is correct faith?

Someone quoted from the epistle of Barnabas (by some, one of the more respected extra-biblical texts, I believe) to me the other day and upon reading it I just had this strange feeling that it was spiritually unfamiliar and very oddly expressed.

verses that refer to authority other than the “Bible Alone”!
Isa 22:21-22 Mt 16:18 Mt 28:19 Lk 1:32 Lk 10:16 Jn 8:32 Jn 13:20 Jn 15:5 Jn 16:13 Jn 20:21-22 Jn 21:17 Acts 1:17 acts 1:26 acts 2:42 acts 8:31 & 35 acts 20:28 eph 2:20 and too many more to mention!
The Bible alone is based on spiritual pride, self-righteous private judgement, and personal interpretation, and not truth revealed by God in Christ without error, thru the teaching authority of the apostles!
God, Christ, the HS, the church, the apostles cannot be any authority at all, only scripture
1st problem is that the church of the apostles says what is and what is not scripture!
The Bible comes from the teaching of the apostles!
Must hear the church according to Christ and scripture! Matt 18:17
Pillar and foundation of truth!
The church teaches the truth revealed by Christ with His authority in the apostles!
1 Tim 3:15
The church existed before the New Testament!
The church believed and taught before there was a New Testament!
The church exercised authority before there was a New Testament!
The authority of Christ thru His one true church wrote the New Testament!
The church founded by Christ on Peter has authority to:
Teach, Govern, And sanctify!
Isa 22:21-22 Mt 16:18 Mt 28:19 Lk 1:32 Lk 10:16 Jn 8:32 Jn 13:20 Jn 15:5 Jn 16:13 Jn 20:21-22 Jn 21:17 Acts 1:17 acts 1:26 acts 2:42 acts 8:31 & 35 acts 20:28 eph 2:20 and too many more to mention!

I have read the books called apochropha but not lately. I have copies of the ones in the Catholic Bible. It was difficult for me to get into them. I am not dead set against them, but I know I am not as knowledgeable about them as some. So mostly I leave them alone.
I strive to follow the Lord and when I find myself a bit too far afield, He often lets me know the hard way.

There is good wisdom in leaving them alone .
By grace God had put me into the bible , and what a wonderful beauty the truth is .
Hour by hour and day by day , week by week and month by month and then year by year
i just loved and still love to feast upon those pages .
After several years of this i was then introduced to what is called the apochropha . MY FRIEND , IT AINT GOD INSPIRED .
its more the wisdom of men who knew some truths and yet through the lens of carnal wisdom and some error indeed .
THUS , I would heed that wisdom which tells you , Stay clear of them . Now , i must leave us with this reminder .
And what a lovely reminder this is .............LET THE GLORIOUS LORD BE PRAISED . NEVER do i grow weary of saying and encourraging
praise and thanksgivings to the glorious LORD . SO hands up my friend , ITS LORD PRAISING and LORD THANKING TIME
