I have a ‘news’ flash for you Ezra/Nehemiah ‘fixed’ the so called Old Testament... and Christ declared before any catholic laid their fingers upon the so called New Testament ...

Mark 13:23 But take ye heed: behold, I have foretold you all things.

Some things people take credit for, are no more than strong delusions.

I don't want to get into a fight here, but there was NO single Jewish canon, there were multiple (Septuagint, Pharisean, Sadducean, Essean, Herodian, Zealot, etc. Some only accepted the Torah, some the Tanakh, some included far more extensive lists and within those some used the Babylonian and others the Alexandrean. It was why the Sanhedrin often quarreled violently. By the 3rd century there were over 600 different and differing texts in use within Christendom. In 382 AD the Catholic Church only selected the 72 books they thought were sufficiently inerrant and inspired for reading in the Liturgy of the Word in the Mass. What others have done with that and why is between them and God. Its not my fight.
