However, among the translations the Septuagint has a special place, as it is the evidence of the Jewish Scripture at the time of Christ, and prior to the Council of Jamnia.

Actually, these days we can go to the Dead Sea Scrolls for that. The LXX is useful the same way the Targums are useful--the translation choices give us an idea of what the rabbis before the time of Yeshua believed about numerous verses. But it's hardly a sacred translation any more than the KJV is, and there are numerous places where the Apostles did their own translations of the Tanakh (OT) into Greek for their quotes rather than rely on the Septuagint.

How about I let you convince the Orthodox of that, and I'll watch?

Good points.

Thanks.
