Hippo and Carthage

The idea that Augustine was not a prophet is important because he was instrumental in guiding the Councils of Hippo and Carthage. These councils were used to settle which books of the Bible to accept.

These councils accepted books that were later rejected in the council of Trent.

Second, the North African Councils were heavily influenced by Augustine who unfortunately held to the erroneous view that the Septuagint was a divinely inspired translation. This becomes problematic because these councils, following the Septuagint translation, canonized the book of 1 Esdras[39] from the Septuagint (which later became 3 Esdras in the Vulgate) which the Council of Trent later determined to be non-canonical. In other words, the Councils of Hippo and Carthage canonized an “inspired” book which the Council of Trent later rejected.[40] What this means is, contrary to the claim of Roman Catholic apologists, Hippo and Carthage could not have authoritatively established the canon for the Church.

It was commonly taught that such councils were guided and divinely protected by the Holy Spirit. Since Trent over turns the acceptance of I and II Esdras, it shows the councils of Hippo and Carthage were not led by prophetic gifts. There is no evidence God supported the council's conclusions. CCatholics cannot accept the African councils and the council of Trent.

Augustine was not a prophet and his decisions in many doctrines should be questioned.

Papacy

Infant Baptism

New Testament Canon

All decisions without a true prophetical influence. Without being guided by the Holy Spirit.

If you accept Hippo and Carthage you would then have to reject Trent.
