But it all comes back to this: why was the Council at Jamnia (if there ever was one) given authority to close the canon? It was not closed before this point.

It was closed but the Hellenists attempted to add to it.

Some dates, please. When do you say that the Jewish canon was closed and by whom?

I have no idea of the date the Jewish Scripture was "closed", finished, nothig more to be added. I simply know only the Jews were entrusted to the task, not some Johnny come lately Hellenists.

An interesting document. An even more interesting site. Thank you. I shall give it all the consideration that it deserves.

OR: “I have no idea of the date the Jewish Scripture was “closed”, finished, nothig more to be added.” —> and yet didn’t you say in post 5078 “It was closed but the Hellenists attempted to add to it.” and “The Council of Jamnia compiled the only valid Scripture. The Hebrew Scripture. “ —> the Council of Jamnia being held in 90 AD, leading to the erroneous statement that valid scripture did not exist before 90 AD, hence invalidating +Paul’s statement that all scripture is profitable
