You wrote ->The Septuagint was written in Alexandria, by the way.

I wrote —>The Torah was translated by 72 Jewish scholars into Greek for the library of Alexandria in —— > 300 BC <—— and that has NOTHING to do with Augustine or any of the others you mentioned .

you wrote -—>You claimed that the Egyptians were pagan and were not Christian. You also picked the one Jewish reference out of a plethora of Christian references. Nice.

Who was Arius from Alexandria?
Why did the early Christians think of him ?
He denied the Deity of Christ and the trinity and so did many of text/works coming from Alexandria were considered the worst kind of manuscripts .
Oh but the include stuff like men are saved by works and scriptures should not be taken literally.

Hmmmmmmmmmm does not your Bible include the first 5 books ?
(that’s Torah and that is what was translated for the Library of Alexandria - the first 5 books 300BC for Ptolemy)

We were speaking of the fruits of Egypt and your claim that it was pagan or heretic. I said that there was a lot of worth out of the region including Augustine, etc, and as a side note that the Septuagint was commissioned there. Where can a sane person get from that my Bible does not contain the Torah?
