It was decided by people who had the authority to judge and were deemed worthy of having that authority passed on to them through apostolic succession.
Then they took that Bible out of the hands of the common man and chained it to the alter, and forbid any common man from having a Bible, or even reading a Bible for himself.
Again, you should read one of those books so you can avoid embarrassing yourself in the future.
