Jews wrote the LXX. You contest this? Yes or no.
“Jews wrote the LXX. You contest this? Yes or no.”
Here are the facts as I already said, for the second time, Troll:
“Last I checked, I already corrected you by pointing out that the myth of the creation of the LXX only includes the translation of the Books of Moses as being sanctioned by the Jewish authorities. The rest was translated or put together at unknown times, by unknown people, and the only copies we have of the LXX today are Christian copies with varying books within them starting in the 4th or 5th centuries. But by then we already had Jerome giving his historical reasons for what is and isnt scripture, and lots of explanations for why some books are included, though they are not actually considered scripture. For example, the Epistle of Barnabas was considered useful for edification, but not for confirmation of doctrine. Maccabees was included, but was called by Pope Gregory non canonical, but useful for the edification of the people.
