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

This is my position as well. At best, what the councils did was to ratify what was already being practiced by the people.

the Septuagint is still held highly 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.

I have read that the Jews officially got rid of the deuterocanicals along with some other text from the Septuagint (together "Anagignoskomena") at the Council of Jamnia, circa 100 AD.

Yea, and the Gospels, as well, FK...

Is that who you are going to follow?
