t isn't odd at all. Please remember that all the apostles were former Jews.

Is is very odd, for Protestantism to appeal to the Sanhedrin for authority after the death, burial, and resurrection of Jesus. None of the Apostles are former Jews. Salvation is of the Jews. Only one of them, Judas Iscariot accepted the view of the Sanhedrin that Jesus was not the Messiah.

For Catholics who touts traditions and councils, it seems strange to pick and choose which councils to listen to. It reminds me of the dramatic doctrinal differences between the Council of Orange vs the Council of Trent. If one is going to follow tradition, then I'd suggest Protestants are following tradition far more than Catholics by following the early Council of Jamnia. Please come back to the church. :O)

BTW-I'm not sure what to make of the comment "none of the Apostles are former Jews". Perhaps I'm not understanding your point. It is clear that, whatever the motive of Judas Iscariot, he didn't accept Christ as his Savior. But as to the rest of the apostles, I would hope we would agree they were Jewish believers.
