Last time I checked it was still in the Lutheran Bible as being part of the Canon You are funny! :) Luther's followers brought it back, but the historical fact is that Luther had no respect for this Apostolic work.

The historical fact is that Luther's translation had James in it as part of the Canon (unlike the Apocrypha books which he knew were not part of the Canon)

No, to return to the freedom that God has given us Wrong again! Historical fact is that Luther uttered the words pecca fortiter (sin boldly), assuring his "divines" that as long as they love God, He will forgive them all their sins, hence he said that which many wish he hadn't.

And what does that have to do with Justification by faith?

God deals with those who abuse freedom,(Gal.6:7-8) but the freedom is, nevertheless real.

And what does that have to do with Justification by faith?

Nothing. Why do't you try to stay on the subject and remember that I was repsonding to your "No, to return to the freedom that God has given us." Hence my reply was that we are not free to sin boldly, as Luther suggested.

The historical fact is that Luther wanted to exlcude it.
