Not in particular. I already have enough letters to respond to without proving that the earth is round again and again...
You have 14 Books that you regard as Canonical, which we do not.
Fourteen? What religion are you again???
I mean the Greek text that the Roman Catholic Church Bible uses, the Critical Text, not the Received Text of Erasmus or Beza.
Since when is the "received text of Erasmus" the official text of the Church? I suppose next, we'll be switching to the "received text" of Joseph Smith? Since when is "critical text" infallibly guided by the Spirit?
Oh, the Church existed as did the Bible. It was only driven underground by the Romanists who attempted to destroy both.
Your funny. Yea, the "Romanists" had lots of political power the first 300 years of Christianity, didn't they...
I got more serious letters to respond to. Good day.
Well, there is no historical evidence of a BC Septuagint.
The Septuagint that we have today came from Origen in the 3rd Century AD.
Neither Christ nor the Apostles ever used any Greek Old Testament.

Are we now playing games?
The Roman Catholic Canon has in it the following books which Christians do not.
The Book of Tobit, Judith, 1st and 2nd Macaabees, , the Book of Wisdom, Ecclesiasticus and additions to the Book of Daniel.
So the Roman Catholic Bible contains at least 8 additional books.
These are 'apocrypha' Books, which even Jerome rejected as being equal with scripture (Deutro-canonical)

The 'text' is the preserved words of God and since, 'by their fruits you shall know them' we know that it is this textual tradition that represents the true New Testament.
From that Received Text is the one that resulted in the people getting the Bible back into their native language (Luther, Tyndale), so they could understand the words of God and not be held in bondage by the empty rituals of Romanism.

The Romanists did not exist during the first three hundred years of the Church.
The persecution by the Romanists came after they aligned themselves with the State in the 4th century.
Since the Roman Catholic Church did not exist in the first 3 centuries they cannot take any credit for the preservation of the scriptures.

I am sure you do, I hope you respond to them more honestly then you did this one.
