I do not know if you were talking to me, Daniel but I did not use the words you used: If you believe the Septuagint to be so infallable and such a difinitive source

I wrote Greek Septuagint is older than the Masoretic Text and thus closer to the original source. That is history 101 - the older the text the more accurate the text. The oldest Aramaic and Hebrew texts we have support the Greek Septuagint. This is a scholarly opinion based on the widest accepted view on the subject.

Then you wrote: then I guess you hold the following books as divine: Esdras, Judith, Tobit, , 1 Maccabees , 2 Maccabees , 3 Maccabees , 4 Maccabees , Prayer of Manasseh , and the Book of Wisdom? If so, why are they not in your Bible now?

I do not know what denomination you assumed I was (if you were indeed addressing me) but all the above books are part of the Greek Orthodox Bible except for 2 Esdras.

If I am in error please correct me but the oldest books of the bible we have are in Greek. The Dead Sea Scrolls which contain the oldest fragments of the Bible in Hebrew more closely resemble the Greek Septuagint than the Masoretic Text.

My conversation was with MHGinTn. I pinged you out of courtesy, since you had commented on the topic.
