The irony of using the council of Jamnia, of course, is that that council was specifically opposing Christianity. One of the principal reasons ther rejected the deuterocanonicals was precisely that they found them to contain passages which proved Jesus.

I wasn't literally telling you to pick whatever canon you liked; I was pointing out that the Masoretic/Palestinian canon was the least sensible. You compared the other canons to Mormon canon; I was showing how sensible they were. The writers of the New Testament clearly were not using the Masoretic text as their guide, but something much closer to the Alexandrian canon, or the Essene canon.

Isn't it wierd to pick the one canon created to dsicredit Christ?

Go point. I never though of it quite that way. I guess the Lord works in mysterious ways.
