Was Pope John Paul II wrong to kiss the Koran?

Sooooo - you CAN'T tell me WHO told you that 2 Timothy was "Scripture"?
You DON'T know WHO told you that ANY of the New Testament is Scripture?
That's what I thought . . .

While you're trying to find the answers to those 2 questions - please show me the verses that say "Faith Alone" and "Scripture Alone".
Oh - and please show me where the Bible tells us to "Accept Jesus as Personal Lord and Savior".

AGAIN
- I'll wait right here for your answer . . .
So it's your word against Paul's?

Galatians 1:11-12 (NKJV)
11 But I make known to you, brethren, that the gospel which was preached by me is not according to man.
12 For I neither received it from man, nor was I taught it, but it came through the revelation of Jesus Christ.

I say the NT is the written Word of God. What say you?
WHO told you that?
How do you know there aren't other Books. How do you know that ALL of the NT Books are Scripture?

Paul NEVER stated that ANY of the 27 Books of the were Scripture.
So, again - WHO told you they were??

Guess you missed this: "I say the NT is the written Word of God. What say you?"

The "other Books" would agree with our Christian Bible. Yours don't.
So - WHY then, did Luther want to remove several Books, including James, Jude Hebrews and Revelation?

If you believe in his inventions of Sola Scriptura and Sola Fide - why NOT his version of Scripture?

Sure I did.

I believe it is Scripture because I know WHO told me that it was and WHO declared the Canon.
Now - WHO told YOU that it was canonical?

WHO declared the NT Canon of Scripture?
In other words - WHO told the world that those 27 Books were Scripture?

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

It's called Faith. The Christian Faith, based on BELIEVING the Bible is the written Word of God.
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?

So, in order for a person to have faith - they have to agree with YOU?
Is that how God counts faith?
