Help me to find the truth Joseph.
Why won't you list some links?
Basically because there aren't any.
You could like it or not,,,take it or leave it,
but the Catholic Church gathered the bible and
decided which books should be in it.
The Catholic canon was set at the Council of Rome (382),[2] the same Council commissioned Jerome to compile and translate those canonical texts into the Latin Vulgate Bible.

A time line of the history of the New Testament canon is affirmed by the following non-Catholic sources:
1) Douglas, J.D., ed., New Bible Dictionary, Grand Rapids, MI: Eerdmans, 1962 ed., 194-98.
2) Cross, F.L., and E.A. Livingstone, eds., The Oxford Dictionary of the Christian Church, Oxford: Oxford Univ. Press, 2nd ed., 1983, 232,300,309-10,626,641,724,1049,1069;
