Except that we don't and it doesn't!.

2 Thessalonians 2:14 Therefore, brethren, stand fast; and hold the traditions which you have learned, whether by word, or by our epistle.

James 2:20 But wilt thou know, O vain man, that faith without works is dead?

It's always interesting to see someone who claims to rely on Scripture first defend Luther throwing a large portion of the Old Testament in the garbage and follow up by directly contradicting what is clearly stated in the anti-Christ Pharisee Approved Luther Subset of Scripture they do claim to accept as the Word of God.

Apparently once someone decides throwing a large portion of the Word of God in the garbage can is a good thing they decide directly contradicting Scripture whenever they please is also a good thing.

It's always interesting to see someone who claims that Scripture is not sufficient to DO the things GOD wants. They then follow up by directly contradicting what is clearly stated in the Christ Approved Whole of Scripture by adding a bunch of other junk.

Except that Luther was NOT the first one to view the Apocryphal books as non-inspired, Luther NEVER threw out ANY books - though seven out of 39 is a bit of a stretch to call it a "large portion" - and you've been told that enough times that continuing to assert it is tantamount to an overt lie. Do you have ANY proof whatsoever that the Jews included those books with the Old Testament Scriptures AS Scripture? No, you don't, because they didn't. They, apparently, were much more reverent of God's sacred word than those who think those books were included.

As for your turbid conclusion that Scripture backs you up concerning sola Scriptura, I hope you at least recognize the irony. Quoting one out of context passage from James also hardly negates the myriad other passages that assure us our salvation is not a result of our works but by the grace and mercy of God through faith in Jesus Christ, our Lord.

But, I repeat, go ahead and worship your bloated version of the Bible that, even after knowing it contains errors and heresy, you still assume it is all from the Holy Spirit. Go ahead, also, and rely on all the things you do for God that make you good enough and worthy of heaven. I'll continue to pray that your eyes will be opened to the truth about grace and you receive the gift of eternal life before it's too late.
