Is the above considered infallible by any Jewish or Protestant group?
 
“some” protestant groups, who accept that the Old Testament should have 7 less books than is used in the Catholic Bible, accept this council as Infallible, for deciding the canon of the Old Testament.

The Irony is, this same council, rejected the entire New Testament. The reason was due to the emergence of Christians since Christ came, and thus those 7 books supported Christian belief, as did the entire New Testament.
 
Peace be with you!

Not all Jews accept this council as infallible either. Jews in Ethiopia and Palestine used the 7 deuterocanonical books.

In Christ,

And from what I understand, experts don’t think there was a council as such, but that Jamnia was a center of scholarship, where a number of rabbis and such went after the fall of Jerusalem. The OT canon seems to have been finalized there, but it may have been a tradition established over several years.
