When you ask if the whole holy bible was assembled by "faith alone", what exactly do you mean?
1.) Please define "faith alone", so we know how you are using the term here.
2.) Please define "assembled", so we know what particular process you're talking about.
3.) Finally, please rephrase the entire question, using different words, so we can be absolutely clear on what you're trying to say.
If you cannot define your terms, and if you cannot rephrase the question so it's better understood, then that indicates you don't really have a question at all... you're just playing games with words to amuse yourself.

Don't be deterred by that which mocks you for seeking understanding.
I read your question as asking if the councils that compiled the canon over all those centuries intended to imply their work, the final outcome the canon of scripture, was the only source and final authority for how to aquire faith and live righteously.
My answer, if that is your point is, yes.
The Bible exists as a means of control. If you believe in the scriptures you believe you have to obey them in order to please God.
Was that your point?

I asked for specific kinds of clarification, so I could give a careful and articulate answer.
When someone refuses to clarify a question, it generally indicates:
a. They cannot clarify, because they don't understand their own question very well.
b. They don't want the question to be understood in a careful and thorough way, because they don't want a careful and thorough answer... they just want a vague and murky topic which allows them to argue endlessly.
If a person doesn't take his own questions seriously... then I don't know why anyone else should.

Tricks? You're the one asking odd questions and refusing to provide clarification or explanation. Neither he nor I have said or indicated that we don't understand. Rather, we want to know WHAT YOU MEAN so that we can give answers appropriate to your questions. It's your loss alone when you choose to be obtuse.
