Well, IS St. James' letter Scripture or not? If it isn't it's on YOUR say so, and who are you to make such pronouncements? If it is, then God help you for calling it an "epistle of straw"! Your beef with it is the same as Luther's: that it buttresses the Catholic understanding of works. Therefore it "can't" be Scripture! No one pronounced it such until Luther did. And that's about 1450+ years too late and an infinite absence of authority to matter.
It must be easy to be a "Bible Christian" if just ANY layman can pick-and-choose his own canon! You are in my prayers.
