Bible Completed - Based on Apostles & Liturgies & Councils

Torah, Psalms, Prophets, Historical, Gospel, Epistle, and Apocalyptic literature to be used in churches during divine liturgies (services), and other books kept out of the ordinary use. Acceptable for private use but not for public Sunday gatherings. The Orthodox maintain more Second Temple Judaism symbols than their counterparts (Rabbinic Judaism or Roman Catholicism starting from 9th century onwards). See how Sirach omits Ruth, Songs, Esther, and Daniel, indicating that in the 2nd century there were still diverse groups with different criteria for sacred writings or liturgical writings or holy hymns for use in synagogue. Consider writings and "all kinds of other things by reason of which knowledge and piety are increased and brought to perfection," -Philo of Alexandria. Later see 2 Esdras or Rabbi Akiva for a variety of samples of how the Torah was fixed, with the Prophets mostly fixed, and the Ketuvim still debated up to 6th century.
