Overlooked is that ‘canon’ didn’t mean the same thing to Jews then as it means now to Christians. The Five Books of Moses are fixed and carry the authority through which the Prophets and Writings are viewed. Christians view the New Testament, Prophets and Writings as modifying the Five Books, which is exactly opposite of the Jewish view.

I am not Jewish, I am a Christian. As such, I follow the teachings of Christ, not Moses.
