If you start parsing the Bible thus, at some point you have to look away, or you end up with a rather small Bible. Then, the only assurance you have, is that you know more than anyone else, including the witnesses of the Bible, and those who assembled it together. Some hope, that.

okay... but do you agree with afazio that James/Jerusalem caused problems in the infant church? You seem to arguing against that notion... and you seem to be saying the James had a one on one with the Lord and because of that he could not possibly be devoid of matters related to the New Testament.... I think that is what you are alluding to.
But I think you have an erroneous idea about the Bible. You seem to think everything in it is to be regarded as positive. Every author is articulating what is right. Rather, I look at it differently, I think every word of the Bible is God-breathed... for our correction, reproof, etc. and that would necessarily include things that are incorrect as a contrast.. So my Bible does not shrink at all and is the same size as yours... I presume yours to also have 66 books end to end.
