If you like history, you will love this video. If you don’t like history, watch it anyway. You may learn something. I was talking with a King James Onlyist over the weekend who stated that the Septuagint, the Greek Old Testament, is a post-Christian 4th Century forgery. The actual comment said, “Maybe because the Septuagint is an obvious post-Christian forgery and was never accepted by the true churches…just like Sinaiticus, Alexandrinus, and Vaticanus.” This conversation spurred another King James Onlyist to quip, “Just curious has anyone produced a Greek copy of the O.T. written before 300 A.D.?” While this brother was asking this with extreme skepticism, I am thankful for the question. It allowed me to answer the critics and indeed end the argument. Let’s discuss it.
