It's about spending your time mentally hanging out with the holy people who wrote it, as opposed to mentally ill xo posters or only fans whores, etc.

They didn't make it into anyone's Bibles. But Polycarp especially is just a bunch of quotes from (mostly) Paul, so I don't understand the point you're making.

What was the justification for leaving them out? Why not err on the side of inclusivity?

Also, you don't know what writings of theirs might have existed in 300AD that we no longer have.

Canon.

Think about it. Everyone who was running shit knew about these doods and respected them, and they read what they wrote and thought about it.

But they didn't put it in your Holy Bible, so you prattle on about Paul and think you're smart.

By the time that "canon" was "canon", the answer is simply "tradition." But maybe you're asking why they were left out of the earliest lists?

A whole FUCKLOAD of people thought it was trash. There was never widespread agreement that it should be included. One side simply won the debate at one time and here we are.

Yes. My suggestion would be that you should read based on the mental communion that you're trying to achieve with various holy men, rather than a superstitious reverence for what is canon or not canon. But the early traditional lists are a good starting place for the most 180 scripture.
