1) There is no evidence that any of the writers of the Bible used
the
Septuagint. That is an historical myth.
It must be so wonderful to be so ignorant and a happy idiot!
Please supply some evidence that the so called "Septuagint" exististed
as
we
know it, in the first century.
No evidence pro and no evidence con.
Are you really serious? Wherever did you get that absurd notion? Let
me
guess, you are a Christian fundamentalist, right?
Sort of. One of those Baptist biblicists. Vernon is special. He know it
all.
Doesn't like the word Fundamentalist, prefers Fundamental. LOL.
Fundamental or fundamentalist or whatever, he is just plain wrong,
incorrect, mistaken, and every other synonym. Are these people that immune
to evidence and scholarship? Geez . . . .
The evidence is as certain as nearly anything in the ancient world. See
the
following Dead Sea Scrolls which contain parts of the Greek Septuagint:
4QLXXLev and 4papQLXXLev both contain Leviticus; 4QLXXNum contains
Numbers;
CORRECTION: > 4QLXXDeut contains [Numbers] [Should be Deuteronomy], are from
Cave 4 at Qumram. The following books
of the Greek Septuagint are from Cave 7 and Cave 8 respectively:
pap7QLXXExod contains Exodus; pap7QEpler gr. contains the Letter of
Jeremiah; 8HevXII gr. containing the Minor Prophets.
These documents are eyewitnesses for the existence of the Septuagint as
we
know it in the first century, and are as close to primary historical and
textual sources as one gets in the study of ancient history. There is
more
evidence "that the so called "Septuagint" existed as we know it in the
first
century. This took about 30 seconds to find, and that is because I had
to
walk across the room and grab three books. Go find a catalogue of the
Dead
Sea Scrolls on the internet. Every entry and catalogue reference
containing
"LXX" or "gr." refers to a scroll or papyrus containing all or part of
the
Septuagint. There are lots and lots of books about the Dead Sea Scrolls
and
the history of the Septuagint that delve into this issue in great
detail.
You local public library can order these through inter-library loan at
little or no cost. Many web sites will even sell them to you. Try a
search
at Amazon or Barnes & Noble web sites.
