What made the fragment a supposed piece of the 'Septuagint'? How do you know these oldest codices contain the Septuagint? And these manuscripts are only 4th and 5th century. Is there something or someone who says this is the Septuagint? The Septuagint, as the story goes, must exist before...

Because the one who is right will be in harmony with and accurate with Scripture. True to Scripture. Ask again. Stranger

But how do you know God sent the Holy Spirit? Stranger

You still haven't answered the question, how do you know God sent the Holy Spirit? Stranger

junobet There is nothing to indicate that these are from a so called 'Septuagint'. And these are only 4th and 5th century manuscripts. Are they not? What makes them a 'Septuagint'? What makes the Septuagint existent before Christ? Stranger

You still haven't answered the questions. Do you believe the Bible is the inspired Word of God? And, how do you know God sent the Holy Spirit? Stranger

I appreciate that friend. I will remember that next time. Stranger

Psalm 131 (Come to the Quiet) John Michael Talbot Stranger

Appreciate it. I know...I pushed the wrong button. I tried to delete but couldn't. Stranger

You didn't answer the questions. Do you believe the Bible is the inspired Word of God? And, how do you know God sent the Holy Spirit? Stranger

I don't always ask a question just to learn. Sometimes it is to provoke ones thinking or encourage discussion. Stranger

Our differences are too great. You would either have to quit being Protestant or quit being Catholic. Of course the less the Bible is seen as inspired by God the easier it gets to conform to others beliefs or rituals. BYOW. Bring your own wine. Stranger

Well, if there is 'no Septuagint', it's hard for me to prove it's non-existence. It is based on a document, 'Letter of Aristas', that has been proven to be false. The Dead Sea Scrolls has lots of writings. Not all are Scripture. And, as far as I know, I don't believe any Greek versions...

No, I picked six verses, not one line. Tom55 gave me a 'one line' made up statement that he could use as an example of how many interpretations could be made of it. You say "what about the rest of the Bible"? Exactly. To compare a one line statement with the interpretation of Scripture...

If the Septuagint was in such wide circulation, why don't we have a copy of it? The 'idea' of a Septuagint is based only on the 'Letter of Aristas', which has been shown to be a fake. Even the LXX is a false representation. If it's based on 72 Jews, why isn't it LXXII? Everything about...

Are these for or against the Septuagint? I appreciate the links but I would rather hear words from a person. Stranger

I am answering it by example. Yes, I know where Tom55 is headed and you also. So the statement has been made that since Scripture is interpreted so many ways, then how do you know who is right. Well, here, in my reply#97, is a portion of Scripture to put to the test. Interpret it...

Lets put it into practice. John 1:29-34 says, " The next day John seeth Jesus coming unto him, and saith, Behold the Lamb of God, which taketh away the sin of the world. This is he of whom I said, After me cometh a man which is preferred before me: for he was before me. And I knew him not...
