So, did Luther have faith when he tried to remove several Books, including James, Jude Hebrews and Revelation?
Why
did you follow his doctrines - but NOT his canon of Scripture?
Why are you so concerned about Luther. I'm not. Read the Bible.

No - you haven't.
You said that you "read" the Bible and that's how you know.

That's why I asked you if people HAVE to agree with YOU in order to have faith, as YOU indicated.
Why can't you just be honest? Your Protestant Fathers Luther and Calvin were honest about it.

Quote me where I said that.

God is my Father, not Luther or Calvin.

I'll ask this differently, then.

WHO told you that Scripture Alone (Sola Scriptura) was Biblical?
That's NOT in the Bible.

WHO told you that Faith Alone (Sola Fide)was Biblical?
That's NOT in the Bible either. In fact - the ONLY place in ALL of Scripture where this phrase is found is in James 2:23, where it explicitly states:
James 2:24
You see that a person is justified by works and NOT BY FAITH ALONE.

I'll wait right here for your answer . . .

YOUR words from post #76:
"I didn't need anyone to tell me the Bible is Scripture. I read it myself. Now who told you?"

Consider yourself exposed . . .

Nobody. I read the Bible. Try it.

I don't have a problem with the Christian. Obviously you do.

It was your accusation. Provide the quote.

You are the very definition of a dishonest person.
I just NAILED you with your OWN words - and you're STILL denying it.

Unbelievable . . .

Really?

Show me the verse that talks about "Scripture Alone".
While you're at it - show me the verse that talks about "Faith alone"
CAN
you do that?

Chapter nd Verse, please . . .

So you're looking for an excuse to add to our Christian Bible?

When did I say "Faith alone"? You keep making false accusations against me!

In post #76 - I asked YOU the following question:
"Now - WHO told YOU that it was canonical?"

YOU responded with:
"I didn't need anyone to tell me the Bible is Scripture. I read it myself. Now who told you?"

Your dishonesty is matched ONLY by your ignorance . . .

Sooooo, you can't show me ANY proof for Scripture Alone or Faith Alone.

WHY then, do you adhere to this nonsense?

Are you saying that you reject the Protestant pillar of salvation by Faith Alone?
Can I quote you on that??
