Did you not read what I posted? The Jews did not have a set canon until 100 CE, before that there were groups of Jews that used the protestant canon (39 books), those that used the RCC one (46 books) while others only used the first 5 books. The article I posted discusses all of that. Also, the Church did not add them they were chosen during the first few councils in the 300s when the Orthodox Church was still one with the Roman Church.
The whole OT/OC all the way from Genesis to Malachi is a prophecy of Jesus.There were groups that used different amounts of books because there was no set canon though. Also, the Council where Rabbis determined the 39 books is the same council that rejected the New Testament. So, protestants are following a council that rejected the New Testament. It's believed the deutro books were rejected by Jews because it contained strong prophecies of Jesus.
The rcc added books that were rejected by Jews and protestants because of contradictions and other issues. I think I posted a link about that earlier today.
If a Jew is a Christ follower, how can they then reject the NT/NCIf it was a Christ following Rabbi then why did they reject the NT?

Nice deflection. The discussion is about the false claim of rome that the Jews accepted the books that your denomination now use as Scripture.
I'm sure you'll understand if I take the word of a Christ following rabbi over a rcc apologist.

The Church however does not claim that all Jews used them. Like I said before and like the article mentions, before Jews had a canon some groups only used the first 5 books of the OT, others used 39 books (which protestants and Jews use today), others used 46 books (which catholics use today) and others used even more which could be the reason why the Ethiopian Jews have more books.
If they would read the Jewish/Hebrew book of Revelation, perhaps more Light would shine in them concerning the Bible.Jews don't interpret it as we do though and they easily find a way to explain it away, but the prophecy in the book of wisdom seems to be harder to reject since it clearly describes the passion as we see it in the Gospel of Matthew.
Scholasticism
Filioque
Papal Supremacy
Immaculate Conception
Yeah, I would have to myself. What the heck is "Scholasticism"Hmmmmm, let me think on that one..................................................................................................

As you probably know... I don't do the debate thingie... my bad, but it does help me to be fair and unbiased in this ministry.
That being said... do you know that you quoted a post from like... way back in February?
If you and your denomination are happy in that, I am happy for you.I am so grateful that the Catholic Church was started by Jesus and that it is led by the Paraclete because the Catholic Church has consistantly recalled what the Apostles taught and has brought greater light to those teachings in things like the Assumption and Immaculate Conception.
