The writer questions the agreement of the most ancient manuscripts as to what books were to be included.

I do hope that the sarcasm can be kept to a minimum. I am genuine in my questioning.
There are many theories that abound when comes to inerrancy, as one who has sat in some graduate level classes on this subject, I am confident that the NT we hold is reliable and that everything having to do with matters of faith, salvation and life are completely 100% accurate. And yet to be truthful there are some minor variations and descrepancies. I believe that the originals are 100% accurate and inerrant, and the copies that we have today are totally reliable.

Here is a nice link with both sides of the arguement.
