You might want to check with these Jewish Scribes on that note...and still going at it today

Zip down to your local synagogue and get filled in on the new testament....that's the part where Jesus was....remember.....No one denies the existence of the old testament Jewish scholars. If you want a copy of what we now recognize as the Bible....the Catholics happily provide it for you....BOTH OLD AND NEW TESTAMENTS.

Perhaps this will enlarge your understanding of how we got our Bible....

Since ancient times, ever since the Scripture began to be given to the church, the Jewish nation was committed to take care of Scripture, preserving it and disseminating it further. According to the Bible, the Hebrews were given charge to keep and copy God’s Word......Because unto them were committed the oracles of God.....

Historically, when the covenant people of God were anticipating their Messiah, the great and awesome advantage they had was the ‘reception’ of the inspired prophetical Word.......The Jews knew this and celebrated the fact as is written:.... “He shows his word unto Jacob, his statues and his judgments unto Israel. He hath not dealt so with any nation; and as for his judgments, they have not known them. Praise ye the Lord”

Further more.... the Jews were instructed not to add to or take away from the Word of God.... “Ye shall not add the word which I command you, neither shall ye diminish ought from it, that ye may keep the commandments of the Lord your God which I command you”...Even the New Testament was authored by Jewish men! Jesus himself is Jewish, and we have received this rich heritage ‘from them’.

Additionally...The apostles and authors of the New Testament quoted from almost all books of the Old Testament, and never implied that some parts are of higher worth than others.....
The Bible is to be rejected or upheld ‘as a whole’..... If one part goes down, the rest goes down. ...It’s an integral whole, ‘one message’... ‘from the one true and living God’.

Man therefore cannot preside over the Bible and dictate what’s fine for me and what not; rather the Bible is supreme and must shape our life, our beliefs and our conduct.

Romans 3;2...Psalms 147:19,20...Deuteronomy 4:2; cf. Proverbs 30:5,6
