Let's see...One one side we have your popes and Catholic 'historical' writings...On the other side, we have the actual words of God...

Luk 18:31 Then he took unto him the twelve, and said unto them, Behold, we go up to Jerusalem, and all things that are written by the prophets concerning the Son of man shall be accomplished.

Jesus appears to know exactly what the Scripture is and what is contained in the Scripture...

Luk 24:25 Then he said unto them, O fools, and slow of heart to believe all that the prophets have spoken:

Seems that Jesus thinks the slow of heart and the fools have ALL of the WORDS that the prophets spoke...

Luk 24:27 And beginning at Moses and all the prophets, he expounded unto them in all the Scriptures the things concerning himself.

Again, they had ALL the Scriptures in front of them...

Luk 24:44 And he said unto them, These are the words which I spake unto you, while I was yet with you, that all things must be fulfilled, which were written in the law of Moses, and in the prophets, and in the psalms, concerning me.

And there, Jesus lays it out...There's the O.T. canon...

So it seems that the OT canon was well established long before Jesus or your church showed up...And the Jewish believers, as we know historically rejected any and all of the extra books which your church later on said were part of the canon...

That settles the thing before your theory ever got off the ground...

That isn't true. As the original article states (and has been stated numerous times on this Forum), there was no set canon of the OT. Jews certainly did believe all the books used by Catholics were to be included. Jewish believers AFTER CHRIST then historically rejected the deuterocanon - mostly because it was so very indicative of Him.
