hd-But there was never any disagreement over the apocryphal books, because they were always rejected by the Jewish church

jo kus-SO WERE THE GOSPELS... Have you torn them out of your Jewish Bible yet?

The gospel (or New Testament) isn't what is being discussed. It is the Old Testament. Some would have us believe that there were many versions of the Old Testament at the time of our Lord Jesus. This is simply not the case. At least I have not been shown any valid references making this claim.

Apparently, you have missed the logic of your own position. Let me restate what you wrote...

Now. With this fresh in mind, tell me, why do you accept the Jews disagreement over the deuterocannonicals, BUT NOT THE GOSPELS? Sounds like a double-standard excuse. If you hold the Jew's opinion so highly, then you need to work on that canon of the New Testament...
