"And when the Jews excluded the deuterocanonical Old Testament books in the Council of Jamnia, decades after Christ, because they alluded to an imminent Messiah (Jesus), they were popular among the Greeks, and they proclaimed the resurrection, we should follow them and not the ancient Christians because...?"

There were no Christians more ancient than the time of Christ. The Jews did not reject books according to your claims. They rejected them for their own reasons. If what you said was true, they would have tossed Ezekiel 37 in particular, and Isaiah 63:1-6, ect... They did not.

The Council of Jamnia was after Christ. At the time of Christ, there was no set list of which books constituted “the Scrolls” or “the Prophets.”
