BTW, if you want scriptures likely nearest to the “originals”, the Byzantine Text of Orthodoxy is what you should look for.

When the Scriptures are read every day in the Greek Orthodox Church, they are read *in the original Greek* are they not?

I want people to consider the implications of that fact...that the same culture that wrote the Septuagint and the New Testament has maintained an continuous unbroken existence since that time.

Indeed they are. I listen to the scriptures in the exact same language my ancestors from 1700+ years ago did.

There is no original Greek...The origin of the LXX is a myth...

The Septuagint was created long after the NT was written...That is why 'some' of the wording matches the NT text...The NT writings were available to copy from...
