What Jews accept for their own canon is irrelevant and in fact should be taken with suspicion because of the overall nature of the Jamnia council.
Considering that Jesus, Peter, Paul, and all of the apostles were in fact - Jews- it is highly relevant.

I am amazed at the latent anti-semitism in some of the comments on this thread.

I particularly liked the inference that they removed Christ from the OT and now publish books to trick us.

Keep following the Jews and their decisions - to include their denial of Jesus of Nazareth being God in the flesh. I believe 1 John writes that such people are the anti-christ. So if you have decided to follow the Jewish decisions at Jamnia, you have just eliminated the Gospels as Sacred Scriptures. By your own mouth you are condemned.

And then you throw the "anti-semeticism" charge on us because we don't follow the Jewish decision?

Next, you'll be calling Jesus "anti-semetic" because of His "Woe to the Pharisees" speech...

What anti-semitism? Jamnia is a council of Jewish rabbis that rejected Christianity and established a Jewish canon. Thus its determinations are irrelevant to Christians -- not because of ethnicities but because of religion. The nationalities of the people at the foundation of Christianity are not relevant either ("no Jew nor Greek", St. Paul says). So where do you see "antisemiitsm"?
