Is this the answer that you would give someone who just lost their child?

I have been asking if there is a copy of this Septuagint that you have been referring to, or does it no longer exist?

I believe any woman who has just lost 10 children, due to her husband's pride, could be expected to be a little bit distraught with him. I would like you to share your answer.

The Orthodox Church claims it can be written from their liturgy from the beginning.

You misunderstood the meaning of my question. When they used only the Alexandrian Greek to replace the New Testament, why didn't they do the same for the Old Testament? You still haven't given me a source for the Septuagint. How do I find it to read it? Or doesn't it exist today?

What I am asking is what Septuagint are you talking about? Does it exist today? If it doesn't exist today, how do you know it is quoted in the New Testament? In order to believe it is quoted in the New Testament you have to be able to read it to compare.

I have a principle that I don't trust anything I read unless I can prove it, with the exception of the Bible. Are you referring to the Codex Sinaiticus that is in the British Library? The DSS indicates that the Hebrew is extremely accurate, while the so-called Septuagint not so much.

Which Septuagint are you referring to? The one from 2,000 years ago which doesn't exist or the current one, which has been shown to be corrupt, and disavowed by the Orthodox Church?

According to the Talmud there is 2,000 years of chaos, 2,000 years of law, 2,000 years of the Messiah, and a thousand years of shabbat. I also believe that the sun revolves around the earth.

You are right. Life and Letters of J.A.F. Hort volume I page 78. Letter addressed to Mr. John Ellerton dated July 6, 1848. “Talking of your friend Shields and his carnivora forsaking the butcher for the greengrocer, I am inclined to think that no such state as Eden ever existed, and that...

Is that 1/5 of 1% still stand when you consider only that scripture which relates to the Deity of Christ?

You have made a broad statement. Can you back that up with evidence of one of the comments being out of context? I have no desire to argue, I love you. This is totally about truth.

Life and Letters of J.A.F. Hort volume I page 78. Letter addressed to Mr. John Ellerton dated July 6, 1848. "I am inclined to think that no such state as Eden ever existed, and that Adam's fall in no degree differed from the fall of each of his descendants,----"...

How can there be a difference if the whole bible is inspired? If Paul's words are not inspired, how can I believe any of his words? Is it up to me to pick which words are inspired and which ones are not?

THE BIRTH OF THE MODERN SEPTUAGINT BEGINS WITH THE CODEX VATICANUS 1209 Thomson's Translation of the Bible is a direct translation of the Greek Septuagint version of the Old Testament into English, rare for its time. It took Charles Thomson, the secretary of the Continental Congress from 1774...

Are you saying you don't believe "All scripture is given by inspiration of God?"

The text of the Codex Vaticanus 1209 does not represent the original Septuagint according to the Greek Orthodox Church. The manuscript was twice re-inked, with new letters in place of the old. In the margin of this manuscript, it tells us they altered the reading. The Codex Sinaiticus (IMO) is...

According to the Greek Orthodox Church, the Septuagint that they consider canonical is not the present-day Septuagint which was derived from the corrupted Alexandrine texts, namely Codex Vaticanus, Codex Sinaiticus, and Codex Ephraemi Rescriptus. They consider the Received Text, as the text most...

The one that was in existence in 1870.
