They are the early writers, theologians and church leaders. The earliest were called the Apostolic Father (obviously they've been hijacked by the RCC as their own): Clement of Rome, Ignatius of Antioch, etc... Among there extra-biblical writings were the didache. Ironically, one of the "church fathers", Tertullian, was responsible for the eventual language used to describe the doctrine of the Trinity -- well, the irony, is that later he opposed his own doctrine and joined the Montanus, pretty close to oneness pentecostals!
There names are vasts, and any library search will get you plenty to read on. It was these men in the 2nd & 3rd Century that eventually helped complete the NT canon.
Thanks for your very informative answer. I appreciate it.
However, when He, the Spirit of truth, has come, He will guide you into all truth; for He will not speak on His own authority, but whatever He hears He will speak; and He will tell you things to come. 14 He will glorify Me, for He will take of what is Mine and declare it to you. 15 All things that the Father has are Mine. Therefore I said that He will take of Mine and declare it to you.
16 “A little while, and you will not see Me; and again a little while, and you will see Me, because I go to the Father.”
17 Then some of His disciples said among themselves, “What is this that He says to us, ‘A little while, and you will not see Me; and again a little while, and you will see Me’; and, ‘because I go to the Father’?” 18 They said therefore, “What is this that He says, ‘A little while’? We do not know what He is saying.”
19 Now Jesus knew that they desired to ask Him, and He said to them, “Are you inquiring among yourselves about what I said, ‘A little while, and you will not see Me; and again a little while, and you will see Me’? 20 Most assuredly, I say to you that you will weep and lament, but the world will rejoice; and you will be sorrowful, but your sorrow will be turned into joy
