No, not to justify it now, to justify it then. They needed to establish the religion as rooted in fact. They most likely used the scrolls as a point of justification and indication of fact.
I am not saying that some of the stuff in the sea scrolls happened, but some of the others may be fabrications because not everything in the sea scrolls is in the bible and vice versa.
