Born_Again There are many, many things I would change. Too long to list. They all have to do with my relationship to Christ. Spend more time with Him. Not give in to the sin which so easily besets. To not wander away at times. Because all of these affect not only me but others and...

I agree also that the Bible is the Word of God. And we are not to get into any sort of 'astrology' which is condemned by God. I simply acknowledge God in making the stars as signs which He used once to declare the basic Gospel. (Job.38:31-33) " Canst thou bind the sweet influences of...

Well, the letter claimed that 72 Jewish translators finished their translations in 72 days, all in total agreement. You yourself admit it is 'legend'. That is where supposed Septuagint gets its name. Thus the supposed Septuagint is based on a made up story. The New Testament does not make...

It was a question. Stranger

Well, we have established that 'The letter of Aristeas' was a made up story. So the basis of the Septuagint is a made up story. All that was shown in post #43 was the book of Isaiah found among the Dead Sea Scrolls. How is that a copy of the oldest Septuagint? That book of Isaiah is a...

OzSpen In your post #51 it was the 'Letter of Aristeas' that you wanted proof of its being a fraud. That was the basis of the quotes I gave. Yes, I know that these believe there is a Septuagint, which I admitted. I tried to give enough of the quote to show that. At best the letter is...

I said Old Testament. Wisdom is an apocryphal work. By the way, where is the oldest copy of the Septuagint? Stranger

Of course Paul relied on and quoted the Old Testament throughout his epistles. Well, as to my denying the Apocryphal books as Scripture is denying Jesus, I disagree. Stranger

I'm fine. Hope you are also. Stranger

Heb. 11:35 doesn't say anything of 'the woman and her sons'. Yes Paul was educated in the Old Testament Scriptures. But He got his doctrine from Jesus Christ. (Gal. 1:11-12) "But I make known to you, brethren, that the gospel which was preached by me is not after man. For I neither received...

kepha31 I know what Heb. 11:35 says. You said it speaks of the martyrdom of 'the mother and her sons'. And it doesn't. It speaks of martyrdom, and torture of women and others. Stranger

And I asked you to tell me where is the oldest copy of the Septuagint. If you believe the letter of Aristeas is true, then your the first one I've come across. The sad thing is that those who recognize it as a fraud, still hold to the existence of a 'Septuagint'. (The New International...

First tell me, do you believe the letter of Aristeas is not a fraud? Is this the first time you have heard of it? Yes, I know, everyone is a conspiratorialist who disagrees. Perhaps you are following the conspiratorialsts. There is nothing to show Rylands Papyrus 458 is proof of any...

Not hardly. Showing me pictures and then giving remarks is not proof. Hebrews 11:35 doesn't say that. Stranger

kepha31 Your pictures prove nothing. Nor do your remarks. Those can be said by anyone. Again, where is the oldest Septuagint that these quotes in the New Testament supposedly come from? Stranger

I didn't say you did call me 'anti-Catholic'. I said, 'understand this'. The Dead Sea Scrolls contain a lot of things. That doesn't make them Scripture. Had Paul wanted to quote Wisdom, then he would have acknowledged that what he was saying came from the Old Testament Scripture. Didn't...

Understand this. I am not anti-Catholic. I am a Protestant Christian. I recognize there are many believers in the Catholic faith. I believe the Catholic faith, has many errors in doctrine. I also believe the Protestant faith has many errors in doctrine. And I contend with them also. So...

kepha31 Where is the oldest copy of the Septuagint? Stranger

The story of the Septuagint is based only on the 'letter of Aristeas'. It has been proved a fraud. Eusbeius, and Irenaeus among many others believed it. But they are several hundred years later. Where do you find the oldest copy of the Septuagint? Stranger

Yes Stranger
