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?

Regards

You're comparing apples and oranges. Of course non-Christian Jews reject the NT. So what? We're not talking about that. We're talking about their historical texts, the ones they had used for centuries. I think their view deserves some weight. I have heard it argued that the Jews at Jamnia were very anti-Christian, so they took out the "Christian" books of the OT. That doesn't make any sense to me because if it was possible to edit out Christianity from the OT, then there would be no OT.
