I think you’re being a little too hard on the General.

He is quite correct that the final canon of the Bible was not fully in place when Jesus walked the earth.

The OT was in process of canonization, with some sections of the present fully accepted as such, and possibly others, notably the “Writings,” not yet promoted to canonical status.

The NT of course has not yet been written when Jesus was around. There was a generally accepted NT canon by early 200s, but various groups were still arguing over the issue of which books to include and exclude a LOT later.

For instance, Luther tried to get four books of the canon removed from his followers’ Bibles. It didn’t take.

The Council of Trent accepted several books of the OT as canonical that most Protestants consider apocryphal.

Sorry...Jesus acknowledged that he was aware of the finished canon of the OT as he was walking around the earth preaching the New Testament...
