"Any discussion of the Jews as single, monolithic block that all agree on anything is specious."

None of them believe in the Council of Jamnia. None of them believed in original sin either.

Agreed, the existence or importance of the council is largely a figment of Protestant desire to establish a legitimacy for the exclusion of the Deuterocanonicals.

What we do know is that Jewish authorities specifically rejected the Gospels as new revelation and with them the books of the Deutercanonicals.

Peace be with you
