Thanks for your reply:

what equates with the idea of "canon" in regards to OT, was set by the Jews themselves...

Yes, there is a split between Judaism and Christianity about the time of the canons. The Church holds to hers, the Septuagint at the time of Christ, the Jews to theirs from then and later. Part of the reasoning is due to the split, if something was used by Christians, it was subject to being removed or changed later in Judaism. An example is the interpretation of "virgin" for Christians and "young woman" for Jews.

Many too much mistake their own church for being God

We don't see it as our "own" church but rather as the Church established by Christ; we are as His family, and also the body of Christ with Christ as the head, in communion with the Saints.

I realize you don't have this view or belief; just wanted to clarify.

That sort of thing is God's own province. Only He knows no boundaries, save for His very own, which only He himself knows perfectly.

I agree. Thanks for your reply.

Baloney! It just goes on and on. The Jews of Jerusalem did not accept the ALL the books found in the Septuagint as being what was their accepted canon, at the time of Christ.

I write page after page of refutations (but do not post them) for the refutations themselves touch upon too much for to be included in shortened commentary, as they must, for the argument of Romish apologetic is so frequently one of implication and therefores based upon questionable if not faulty premise.
