not sure what you mean by 'your guys' far as i know there isn't a council about this...

I was primarily referring to the RCC because I thought it was pretty much settled among Apostolics that the basic NT Canon was laid out at Hippo and/or Carthage. I have seen Orthodox comments that appear to disagree with this, but I haven't heard any follow up to date on my asking about it. In any event, my point was that the deuterocanonical books are called such for a reason. They are not scripture.

i think if you'll look closely ou'll notice that the councils are silent on the canon because it was very established before the councils really took part.

the septuagint is still held higly even among the Jews; Israel keeps many secrets about the dead sea scrolls; they're well ware that the maeoretic text isn't what the Hebrew scriptures had been prior.
