 | | [quote]If the Septuagint, Deuteros and all, was good enough for Christ, the Apostles, and the authors of the NT, it's good enough for me.[/quote] You do not use the Septuagint as the basis of the Deuteros, for your Bible follows Hippo's list which is different...another case of the whimsical selection. |
 | | My point is that the books that make up the Deuterocanonicals are considered inspired, sacred texts by the Jews, and are not part of the canon for reasons beyond their inspiration or sacredness, but rather because of political divisions within Judaism at the time of Jamnia's influence. |
 | | I accept the fact that many of the quotations are from the Septuagint, but this does not negate the compelling evidence that a Hebrew canon existed outside of the Septuagint which did not include the apocrypha, to which the jot and tittle refer. |
