The Law, the Prophets and the Psalms.

The Law, the Prophets and the Psalms.

Thanks for the details on what the recognized Canon really was and who added books to it. I appreciate the links. They will give me sources to begin looking at after I finish my current reading.

IIRC the LXX is also known as the Septuagint because it was supposed to have been translated by 70 scholars in 70 days from Hebrew to Greek. If this is true it would seem to me that the greatest concern for error would exist with the LXX because the scholars were working so quickly.

As I understand it the Masoretic text was never written in that type of time frame.

Was the Masoretic text translated from another text?

The Law, the Prophets and the Psalms.

So according to you, Jesus is saying that Joshua, Judges, Chronicles and Kings are not Scripture, since they are Historical books. Some of these books, He NEVER quoted from. I'd say you are reading way too much into this passage, since it does not define WHAT BOOKS ARE the "prophets", nor does He exclude other books. He is referring to those books who speak of Him, not listing the Canon...
