Wow really? Where can I find that? There were over 100 priests at the Council. Did they know they were there for nothing? Actually,they made several errors in admitting books that were total contradictions. James— Hebrews, 1&2 Peter— 1 & 2 John . Others. James is advocating legalism over atonement. That is contradictory with Romans although Paul contradicts himself repeatedly. Doesn’t he?
In summary, this has nothing to do with our Savior. I trust John (eye witness) and in 3:16 he tells us who Jesus was. I think it is an act of the devil to worship the bible. I think it is a false idol. I think the actual original words were intentionally mistranslated in 1611 in the King James for institutional and governmental control reasons. The bible is a history book— pure and simple. I will stop now . I love all of you and I love the Truth. Praise Jesus ,our savior. Thank you God for your Son and not Joseph . IMO

You cover a lot of ground in your reply. I'll address some of the issues you raise.

1) James is not contradictory with Paul....if read in context. You need to understand who the audiences are to which James and Paul are writing.

2) I am not aware of any contradictions in Paul's writings. Again, you have to keep it in context. That may be where your concern is originating.

3) If you're really concerned with an accurate translation, get a copy of the Bible either in the original Greek, or use an interlinear or use the NASB translation.

4) I am not aware of anyone who worships the Bible. The Bible is the Word of God so we should study it to learn from it what God's will is.

5) Suggest you read up on the OT and NT canon formation. I would recommend a book by F.F. Bruce, The Canon of Scripture.

I hope this helps somewhat.
