Long answer, and not to the point.

Why don’t the Orthodox accept the deuterocanonical books as fully canonical? As I said and they say, they are worthy of reading, but not inspired Scripture on the level of the 66 books we KNOW are God-breathed.

Luther was persuaded that the Book of James was canonical; Calvin always accepted James as canonical. The Protestant movement was not based on Luther alone.

I wish you God’s blessings, but I said I won’t play the game.
