Which Septuagint? There is no such thing as a complete Septuagint in existence. The earliest version available is dated after 300 A.D.

That's interesting. The Dead Sea Scrolls date to between 170BC and 70AD. They include the Apocrypha in the LXX translation. Or are you "spinning" (in the correct definition of course) looking only for a complete LXX?

Talk about "spin", how can you make a claim for the validity of the Septuagint based on the Dead Sea Scrolls?

Are you willing to accept everything found in the Dead Sea Scrolls as the basis of your Scripture. Are you willing to accept the Pseudepigrapha contained therein as Scripture?

It appears you are claiming there is such a thing as a Septuagint. There isn't. Why don't you just tell me how old the earliest available version, or portion of one, is.
