"The Jews reject all of the New Testament. We are discussing the Bible, not the Tanakh."

The Bible contains what is referred to as the Old Testamnet. The Catholic version of the O.T. doesn't agree with the O.T. held by the Jews, or as I pointed out — others.

True, at least for the Jews after the Council of Jamnia. The fact is, Scripture itself does not specify which books belong in the Bible, and the canon is a Tradition of the Church. Who's tradition do you use?

The Catholic Bible contains the entire OT as written in the Septuagint, which was at the time of Christ, the most widespread and utilized Scripture by the Jews - including Jesus and the Apostles.
