Are you the same charecter who claims Catholic Apostolic Tradition cannot be true because of the example of the "phone" game?

Haven't heard that before, but it sounds like as good a reason as others I've heard to throw out that nonsense.

I'm not as well versed on this issue of the Hebrew text versus the LXX as others, but it seems pretty clear that the primary reason the RC's and EO are so vehement in supporting the LXX, or whatever version you are talking about, is because they include books that allow for praying to angels, purgatory and some of the other unique beliefs you hold. It's an odd position to hold to since so many of the pre-nicenean theologians rejected those books as Scripture.

Very well. Toss out the 800 year tradition of memorizing where all the vowels go in the OT Scriptures, because that is what your Protestant OT is based on...

You are mistaking us for the "Reformers" who invent their own theology and then cut out the Scripture that won't support it...Don't you wonder why Luther wanted to get rid of James?

Well, as you said, you are not well versed...

On this very thread, I proved that wrong to all people who have tried to show otherwise. Can you show me more than 2 Church Fathers who did not consider the OT Deuterocanonicals Scripture? To save you time, don't bother with St. Athanasius, Origen, St. Hillary, or St. Gregory Nazianzus - we've already disproven that.

Now, if we find that these men DID consider the various books from the Septuagint Scripture, what will you do then? Will you remain cut off from part of the Word of God?

Antenicean-ness per se is hardly a trait to commend a theologian: Paul of Samosata, Arius and Origen were all ante-nicean. They were also all heretics.
