>Luther wanted to remove James, Hebrews, Jude, and Revelation from the New Testament so people who prefer to discard any portion of Scripture that challenges the authority of their Self and Self Alone are just following in Luther’s footsteps.<

I don’t follow Luther - I could not care less about Luther. I follow Scripture. And Scripture tells me that James lied when he claimed that Abraham was considered righteous by God “when he offered his son Isaac on the altar”. Paul and Moses are his accusers.

>Once someone insists the Holy Spirit is imperfect and incapable of keeping His Word free from error there’s no real limit on what alterations to Scripture they’ll advocate because they’ve elevated their Self above the Holy Spirit.<

Such ignorant arrogance. The accepted book list of the N.T. canon has changed many time over the centuries. And some cultures have had different lists from others. Who put such nonsense in your head?

>Throwing Scripture into the garbage and defaming what Scripture clearly teaches should be sacred is an example of how right Bishop Fulton Sheen was when in 1931 in response to non-Catholics accepting contraception he said, “Since a week ago last Saturday, we can no longer expect them to defend the law of God. These sects will work out the logic of their ways and in fifty or a hundred years there will be only the Church and paganism. We’ll be left to fight the battle alone and we will.”<

The epistle to the Laodiceans was accepted as canonical until the mid 1400s by your very own Roman church, and then discarded “into the garbage” as you say. So by your own definition the Roman church is a “sect” that “insists the Holy Spirit is imperfect and incapable of keeping His Word free from error”.

Bishop Fulton Sheen was wrong by about 2,000 years. The early Church itself was a “sect” of Judaism, still strictly keeping to a Law-based gospel. James as the head of the Church in Jerusalem sent his men to challenge Paul’s teachings of a grace-only gospel. It was only at the council of Acts 15 that Paul prevailed with his grace-only gospel. The epistle of James was obviously written during this Law-based gospel period since James insisted that members of the Church must keep the O.T. Law. Indeed, the Church was being run out of the temple in Jerusalem for the first two decades of its existence. If they had not kept the Law they would have been at best driven out of Jerusalem, and at worst stoned to death.

What did the false witnesses say against Stephen? “This fellow never stops speaking against this holy place and against the law.” This was a false witness (Ac.6.13), meaning that Stephen had not been preaching against keeping the Law. Stephen then turned it around on his accusers and accused them of not keeping the law. He claimed that they were “uncircumcised”. No wonder they stoned him to death.

Try reading and believing what Scripture says instead of your denominational traditions of man.
