While this is an interesting and original thought, I fail to see how it is proof of anything. After all, why would the authors of the books of the bible care that their works were to be grouped together later on? That they don't mention the bible in their own specific books says nothing to me more than that they were focused more on the message they themselves were trying to spread than on what would become of that message in the future generations.
But the Bible is considered to be a book of singular significance and primacy by the Church. It is the divinely inspired message of God, crystallised in sixty-six books.
If the Holy Bible was part of God's plan, and was meant to be seen as the 'right' collection of divinely inspired books, then surely it would have been mentioned in prophecy. It isn't mentioned anywhere in the scriptural tradition, though.
What I'm saying is that this implies the canonical texts were not chosen by the church as the authority because they bore the mark of divine inspiration or were prophesised to be the 'true' Biblical texts, they were just chosen for political reasons. Much of the Christian tradition is founded on a propaganda campaign.
Many modern Christians are quite ready to accept that the Church has never been as Jesus intended, and organised religion has gotten in the way of true spirituality. But not even the holy scripture is a solid foundation for the faith; it's just another product of ancient power-politics. Had things been any different, perhaps Christianity would be based around different texts altogether.
