can we be certain which scripture is true or a forgery like the epistles of Peter and James? It had to grow organically before the bible is as it it now.
In my view only through the witness of the Catholic Church can we be sure.
If one wants to deny the Historical importance of the Catholic Church I see no way they are able to prove they have any certainty, what so ever that the any book of the Bible is true.
