I never said they quoted from it in the NT. But the Septuagint WAS the book they quoted from and was therefore the "Scriptures" Christ referred to.

Really? Where is this Septuagint Christ referred to? What is the date of the earliest version available?

I'm sorry. What are we arguing here? Is it your position that there was not such version during Christ's time? Or that the bulk of NT quotations of the OT come from this version?

I'm pretty sure that with the exception of a recent (small( find, our Greek manuscripts actually predate the oldest Hebrew versions. The manuscripts we DO have don't separate them as some "pseudo Scripture" - that didn't happen until 1520.
