"The masoretic text is the continuation of and exact copy of the original writings. As Paul declared, it is the oracles of God, and is given to his chosen people to preserve, not Satan’t catholic cult."

Are you by any chance referring to the Masoretic text's divergence from the Septuagint?

The LXX is not the word of God!

It is a clumsy translation of the ancient Hebrew scriptures, done by Rabbis in the mid second temple period for a handful of Hebrews that lived in Alexandria, and whose birth language was Greek, rather than the Hebrew spoken by the rest of ‘Israel.’
