You're the one making statements you cannot back up. You stated:

Throwing out seven books of the Bible, books Jesus Christ and the Apostles quoted from and never once said were in any way any different than the other books of the Bible

Luther did NOT "throw out" those books AND he was hardly alone in esteeming them as he did. Even Jerome held them that way. Regarding Luther's translation, it is prefaced with,

“In keeping with early Christian tradition, Luther also included the Apocrypha of the Old Testament. Sorting them out of the canonical books, he appended them at the end of the Old Testament with the caption, ‘These books are not held equal to the Scriptures, but are useful and good to read.’”

Also, “In providing prefaces for the books in the German Bible, Luther was simply following a traditional practice. The inclusion of a prologue illuminating the main thoughts of a treatise was a practice associated with the best in scholarly exposition as far back as Aristotle. Jerome’s Vulgate had prefaces to almost every book in the Bible, plus others for groups of books such as Paul’s epistles and the seven catholic epistles.... The second edition of Erasmus’ New Testament in 1518 began with one hundred twenty folio pages of introductory material.” [(http://tquid.sharpens.org/Luther_%20canon.htm#a2)

Luther and Protestants deny that a large portion of the inspired Word of God is in fact His Word. PERIOD.

Excuseitis may now continue but it does not alter the fact that throwing a large portion of His Holy Scripture in the garbage is nothing less than asserting that the Holy Spirit is imperfect, cannot, and did not, protect His Holy Word from the inclusion of error for nearly eighteen hundred years.

Throwing those books in the garbage amounts to asserting that the Holy Spirit cannot possibly be a part of the the Trinity.

Have a nice day

They want to hate Luther and will find any excuse to do so, even if they have to make something up.

You’ve shown them the facts, time and again, and still, there are some who continue to recite the same old mantras about Luther and the Apocrypha.

All the facts in the world will not convince someone whose mind is made up and will not believe.

Thanks for trying, though. Those kinds of inaccurate statements need to be exposed and corrected.
