Don't dodge the point; the Masoretic text was created AFTER Christ.

There IS no point to dodge. The Apostles and Christ frequently refer to the scripture. The church fathers considered the Old Testament to be inspired by God. The Church confirmed the inspiration in the 3rd century so they must have know which text to use. Which text this was I don't know but it must have been the one we have now.

That would be the end of the 4th nneough for the Apostles, the LXX.
