take your answer to those two questions and then ask yourself “am I relying on natural men ( unbelieving 1st century Jews ) to determine my OT canon or believing Christians?

Those men in the first Century who wrote the bible were NOT unbelieving Jews...What they didn't believe in was any thing resembling your religion...

the unbelieving 1st century Jews I am referring to is the Council of Jamnia which the Protestants accept as the Jews setting the OT canon. this Council rejected the Septuagint used by Paul and the Church.

funny, there was another 1st century religious dispute involving circumcision. who did the Holy Spirit work thru to settle the matter, the unbelieving Pharisees ( who comprised the Council of Jamnia )or the Bishops of the Church, the pillar of truth?? obviously, the Church was the instrument used by the Holy Sprit to convey truth. just as the Church was the instrument used in the 4th century to set the canon of Scripture.

what is next, will someone support their belief that the Eucharist is not the Body of Christ by citing the Muslims as not believing it? ( which they don’t of course )

the Holy Spirit works thru the Church to lead us to truth, always has and always will.
