Yea THEIR CANON
God never removed the authority over that canon to the Gentiles.. That is the word of God to the Jews.. that is Gods covenant with the hebrew people.. Rome had NO AUTHORITY to remake the OT in its image and likeness..
Jesus gave the church the New Testament .. that is His covenant with us.. The OT His covenant with them
Have you ever really studied the Apocrypha ,have you not seen the errors and inconsistencies in them?
One more time... All scripture is written by prophets, Gods word tells us if a prophet errors he is no prophet of God ... and in Maccabees itself it tells us there are no prophets in the land
The books may have some historic interest or background.. but they are not the inspired word of God..
By "their" do you mean some Jews, all Jews, only Palestinian Jews, the exclusion of Ethiopian and Egyptian Jews, people of Jewish ethnicity, or the inheritors of Judaism?
Do you make any accommodations for Orthodox, Reformed, Conservative, Hasidic, Kabbalah, the Pharisees, Sadducees, the Essenes, Therapeutae, Bana'im, Hypsistarians, Hemerobaptists, MaghÄriya, Sephardic or the historic Jewish schisms; the Samaritans, Karaite Judaism, Sabbatians and Frankists, Messianic Judaism, Jews for Jesus, or a number of other smaller sects?
How do you account for the recognition of the Talmud and Tanakh as Scripture by many Jewish sects?
