“The 7 Books tossed called the Septuagint, Jesus referred to them many times in His teaching, this is how you know they are “God inspired.”

Jesus quoted from a version of LXX but not from the apocrypha therein. But you're free to provide examples if you have them.

“Hi,
The IN CAPS is NOT about “who set down the Dead Sea Scrolls” but what did the DSS reveal about the Alexandrian Canon. This early group of Jews, one of the first converts to Christianity accepted and used those 7 books which the Palestinian Jews rejected and Martin Luther in 1517 rejected too”

This early group of Jews? First converts to Christianity? The Essenes? They were a Jewish sect not Christian and an apostate one at that so what they used is neither here nor there.

“Trying to correct your error because Christian history and all but one Protestant Bible, the 1611 KJV say something else. But, you’re still going with Martin Luther”

What all this means is unclear...

CYC, “Here no there” again so it doesn’t matter? And...

You’re always trying to divert, change the discussion, we weren’t talking about the “Essenes” or wondering which group. You protested the fact that the Dead Sea Scrolls showed the Alexandrian Jews, early converts to the faith accepted and used the 7 Old Testament books. The DSS findings confirm Pope Damasus was right in his choice of divinely inspired writings for the Canon. The Holy Father’s authority is God given.

Martin Luther and before him, the Palestinian Jews who
REJECTED Christianity, out of fear removed 7 books from the Old Testament Canon, the books which Jesus taught and quoted from most often. I can share other facts.
