I was addressing you answer where you said concerning the Septuagint that the texts that it was translated from were 'lost to history, either burned or rotten, or ( if we are lucky ), still slumbering in some hidden clay pots we haven't found yet.' To which I replied that you answer that there...

If the Bible is not the Word of God how do you determine 'truth'? If the Bible is not the Word of God, quit referencing it for me to follow. Again, you need to answer my question. How do you determine what is the Word of God? Stranger

You didn't answer my question? Stranger

I understand that the only writings we have of Aristobulus come from Eusebius quotes from Clement. And Eusebius lived in 3rd century A.D. Stranger

So, the truth that is in the Bible is not the inerrant Word of God? And how do you decide what in the Bible is true or not. Revelation? Vision? A feeling? Stranger

Yes the Septuagint is a translation. My question was where is it? As you answer....nowhere. There is no Septuagint. Just because you find some brief sketches in Greek does not mean there was a 'Septuagint' written. It is based on a false story. You assume a different Hebrew Text that the...

Where is this Septuagint you keep saying was translated? Where are these textual witnesses you speak of which support the Septuagaint? You assume Papyrus 458 is from the Septuagint. It is Greek, that is all. In one of the links you gave I see that these supposed texts of the Septuagint...

The letter of Aristeas has been proved to be a fraud. And what it is supposed to prove, the Septuagint, does not exist. At least with the books of the Bible, they exist. As I have said, where is the Septuagint? Where are these quotes being quoted from? Stranger

Yes, you keep saying that. I already know that. But why do you reference the Bible for me to go to when you don't believe it? You told me before you don't believe it is inspired by God. Yet you tell me to obey what God said in the Bible. So what is it? At this point you are just a...

A back story? Well, that's good. Create a false story to label some manuscripts as a 'Septuagint' that were supposedly written before Christ. Just because you call something an LXX, doens't mean it existed. It doesn't exist just because you say it. The letter of Aristas has been proven...

Why would you think I would know that? You stated in reply 156 that for me its all about what I read, meaning I can't know as you do. So, how am I supposed to know when I am not as enlightened as you are? So, tell me...What is the 'one truth'. I'm dying to hear it. Stranger

OK. What is the 'one truth'? Stranger

All I have said is that the Scriptures are the final authority as they are the Word of God. And, it is not my theory. And it's not a circle. If what I believe Scriptures are saying are in harmony with the Scripture then I would be correct. If not, then I would be incorrect. The point...

junobet I have no problem saying Papyrus 52 is part of the Gospel of John. And, I have no problem saying Papyrus 458 is part of Deuteronomy. I have a problem in saying Papyrus 458 comes from the Septuagint. Just because it is written in Greek, doesn't prove any existence of a so called...

Well, if you don't need the Bible to know what to believe, quit quoting from it. Or, did those Words, "My sheep hear my voice" come to you in a dream? A vision perhaps? A feeling that just mysteriously came over you? Stranger

I believe the Alexandrian manuscripts do contain the Old Testament in Greek. But, they are still 4th and 5th century. Do you agree? Stranger

How do you know "My sheep hear my voice"? Stranger

The story of the Septuagint comes from the 'letter of Aristas'. It's been shown to be a fraud. It is relevant because there is nothing else to prove that there is or ever was a so called Septuagint. You said there were Greek manuscripts found in the Dead Sea Scrolls. What are they? Stranger

How do you know you agree with them? What did they say? Better yet, how do others know you agree with them? So, you don't need the Bible because you have Jesus. Where did you learn about Jesus? Where did you learn about the Holy Spirit? How do you know God sent the Holy Spirit? No, you...

Identify the 'said' Greek manuscripts or fragments found in the Dead Sea Scrolls that are a Greek translation of the Old Testament. Who said the LXXII is a collection of Greek scrolls? The story was that there were 72 Jews who translated the Old Tesatment into Greek. So, why is it a...
