Ted,
I think it was kind of insulting to Jewish people to say that the Masoretic scholars would drop a quote from the Torah because it could be used as a proof text by Christians. You said that all people are biased, so maybe you believe that Christians added some proof texts. I know that we can't discuss religion on B-hebrew, but it does not seem fair that you can say bad things about Jewish people, but you don't say bad things about Christian people.
I think the Jewish scholars did not drop controversial quotes from the Torah because there are many so called "proof texts" in the Tanakh. If they had dropped them, then there would be many fewer quotes, and this particular quote you pointed out does not even sound like a Messianic proof quote to me.
I will probably be in trouble for writing this, but I can't believe what you said, and that nobody said anything about it.
