Now the Bereans were of more noble character than the Thessalonians, for they received the message with great eagerness .....and examined the Scriptures every day to see if what Paul said was true. Acts 17:11 It is the responsibility of every believer to read the Bible and check to see if those teaching them are true to the Bible..

The Bereans only had the Septuagint. Are you supposed to only consult the Septuagint?

Also; the entire nation of Israel rejected Jesus. What made the Bereans recognize Jesus in the OT when Israel did not?

Indeed. The Protestants should use the Septuagint’s redacted version of Jeremiah as well as its version of the Book of Job.

Another problem, the Septuagint played an important role in salvation history because it predicted the virgin birth, which the Jews later falsified.

If the Protestant Fundamentalists want to worship the Massoretic text. They can have at it because it was a text that the Jews composed AFTER the split between Judaism and Christianity aimed at stemming the flow of converts.

There was no Septuagint until Origen invented it...

Your ignorance of scripture is astounding...
