Did the LXX Exist BEFORE the NT age.

What is this then?

And where do all those NT quotes of the OT come from if not the septuagent?

 

One OT scholar who knows the LXX and has done his work in the LXX disagrees with you.

 

where did you find this information?

 

It was "tongue in cheek" askjo, which is a mild form of sarcasm.

Although this is a Christian Baptist Board, it is also a debate board where sarcasm is an allowable method of debating within the limits of love of which I do not think I crossed and if in your preception, I did cross that boundary, I am sorry (how's that for a run-on sentence askjo?).

Askjo said "One OT scholar who knows the LXX and has done his work in the LXX disagrees with you."

Yes, I also met a man who thinks the moon landing was faked.

 

askjo, never in the history of the world have historian/scholars ever agreed about anything.

Jesus referred to the Hebrew OT, not the LXX. (See Matthew 5:17-18.)

"The Law or the Prophets" is a reference to the Hebrew OT, not LXX because of jot and tittle (See Matthew 7:12, 11:13, 22:40 and Luke 24:27, 44)

 

The LXX existed in AD, not BC. </font>[/QUOTE]Your saying so doesn't make it so, askjo...Proof please??? </font>[/QUOTE]The history did not show that the LXX existed in B.C. </font>[/QUOTE]I think you need to read back to Helens and Dr Bobs statements. History proves that the Septuagent was present before the time of Christ. Again you seem to want to ignore the FACTS!

 

Askjo: "One OT scholar who knows the LXX and has done his work in the LXX disagrees with you."

And just *who* might that be, Askjo? And *where* and *when* did he state this?

Apparently you have some solid information that you are not sharing. Why? If you would simply provide some real *evidence* like a name and a source, this might go a long way toward establishing a modicum of credibility on your part beyond "say-so" theology.

So please tell us who this particular scholar is, and where and when he said this. Not a difficult question.

 

Askjo likes to make blanket statements, but doesn't like to post proof to cover his statements. Wow! I'm impressed. My six year old neice can do that!

 

Again could you document your findings? We would like to take a look at the reference ourselves.

 

I posted pictures of still existing fragments of the LXX that predate the birth of Christ by decades....TWICE BEFORE.

 

Yep, an empty bag makes the most noise.

 

His name is Dr Peter Ruckman.

I have information, but I am unwilling to post because of the agrument with their DOUBT/UNBELIEF.

 

There are lots of folks in religious circles who have Dr. in front of their names given to them by some labeling organization. Let's take a look at his scholarly work and the references he claim and/or cites. I don't really care about the name so much as the actual document you are referring to. So give us the reference and not just the name of a person.

If you went past your junior year in high school or attended college the kind of documentation you give is totally unacceptable. I wouild not accept a paper with those kinds of references.

Here is an excerpt from the Preface of the KJV, The Translators to the Reader:

There is more regarding the LXX in the Preface, but this excerpt clearly shows what the KJV translators believed regarding it.
