why do Messianics accept the canon of scripture defined by these (anti-Judaic) churches?
1.) Do Messianics agree with the changes to Tanach canon at the council of Yavneh? (An aside: why would we keep Chanukah, but discard the books of Maccabees?)
2.) Why do Messianics accept the canon detremined by the catholic church? Has any messianic group ever undertaken to examine the variant texts produced at the time, the various narratives, gospels, etc. in order to examine, in a more Jewish light, what may be valid texts which have been overlooked by those with an anti-Torah agenda?
