No, they believed that Torah and Tanach were scripture and that to add to them was forbidden. The corruptions came when the gospels and epistles were translated into Greek.
All of the apostles were taught in their youth that to add to or take away from Torah was forbidden, and that was why Yeshua made a point to declare that he would neither add to or take away from Torah.
“No, they believed that Torah and Tanach were scripture and that to add to them was forbidden.”
Which is immediately refuted by the very fact that they referred to their writings as scripture and quoted them alongside the Books of Moses. I’m not sure why you ignored it just to quote me and disagree.
It was forbidden to add on to the first books of Moses by man. But then, it was not Man that saw to the adding of all the other books of the Old Testament right afterwards. Neither is the New Testament, which was composed by the same Spirit.
Where did you get that? The Jews never had a fixed canon until the council of Jamnia in 90 AD.
Don't quote the last verses of the Book of Apocalypse -- they refer to that book only, namely the book of the Apocalypse of St. John
