Ah, but they also do not rely upon Sola Scripture The CEC, Eastern Orthodox, and Ethiopians may be in this same boat, but I am not sure.

Actually, Luther later in life accepted the canonicity of the Hebrews, James, Jude, and Revelation, and also regarded the apocrypha as good for reading, but not necessarily inspired by God.

Yes but who cares. I mean, the 'big' bible is not subject to the evaluation of 'little' Luther in this regard. In fact, I dare say that he did not even knew what it means to be inspired -- which most certainly is not equal to God "breathed" or some silly thing like that. He must have missed the passage that "a pupil cannot be greater than it's teacher" to say that the bible is trying to tell us something and until we understand it all should we not be trying to tell it something.
