If the Septuagint is a fraud then Christianity is since the Christ, the Apostles, and the Church Fathers all quote from it.

Good point.

Of the approximately 300 Old Testament quotes in the New Testament, approximately 2/3 of them came from the Septuagint (the Greek translation of the Old Testament) which included the deuterocanonical books that the Protestants later removed. This is additional evidence that Jesus and the apostles viewed the deuterocanonical books as part of canon of the Old Testament. Here are some examples:

Matt. 1:23 / Isaiah 7:14 - behold, a "virgin" shall conceive. Hebrew - behold, a "young woman" shall conceive.

Matt. 3:3; Mark 1:3; John 1:23 / Isaiah 40:3 - make "His paths straight." Hebrew - make "level in the desert a highway."

And many more here.

Which is annoying (nothing personal, gentlemen ...) because it's different from what we've memorized!

Indeed, that proves that the Masoretic text was altered as part of a deception on the part of jealous men. It is a shame that their deception has been so successful.

And then, who authorized the authorized King James Bible? I mean, where did Luther derive the authority to remove several books from the Bible, the Bible which was used by all Christians in his day, without contradicting his own foundational principle of "the Bible alone"?

"OK, I'll change the Bible around until I get it the way I like it and then no one else can change it."

Even my young daughters think the logical headstands are funny.
