I guess it's a good thing that the Council of Nicea didn't compile the canon then.

Do not forget that The Muratorian Canon (the very fist one) did not include the letter to the Hebrews or James, 3 John, or 1 and 2 Peter. It included the Wisdom of Solomon and the Apocalypse of Peter. It rejected the Shepherd of Hermas and Paul's letters to the Laodiceans and Alexandrians.

Yep.

"There is current also [an epistle] to (64) the Laodiceans, [and] another to the Alexandrians, [both] forged in Paul's (65) name to [further] the heresy of Marcion, and several others"

So, we must pay attention what is called sacred and the criteria to judge such given the fact that history and those involved in the process proved to be less than reliable at choosing the scriptures and interpreting the word of God once His prophets and apostles were gone from the earth..

I'm a fan of sound judgment too.
