You're right. It's sometimes hard to take Luther's doctrine of Sola Scriptura seriously when he removed the deuterocannonical books from Scripture based on the decision of the Jewish council of Jamnia from around the years 70-100 A.D., the same council that rejected the New Testament as Scripture, while he also rejected the authoritative canonical determination of several Church Councils from around the year 400 A.D.
