About this ebook

The Greek Septuagint is used as a justification for new-age bible versions, but closer examination shows it's not real. 

Ratings and reviews

I'm not sure if the author is a joker, devil or just ignorant. Perhaps a little of all of it, like most of us are. If we can't have knowledge of things that are not in front of our eyes, then we know close to nothing in this present state in ANY discipline. »Jesus saith unto him, Thomas, because thou hast seen me, thou hast believed: blessed are they that have not seen, and yet have believed.« (John 20:29) A much better approach is the way they do it in courts. »But if he will not hear thee, then take with thee one or two more, that in the mouth of two or three witnesses every word may be established.« (Matthew 18:16) »One witness shall not rise up against a man for any iniquity, or for any sin, in any sin that he sinneth: at the mouth of two witnesses, or at the mouth of three witnesses, shall the matter be established.« (Deuteronomy 19:15)

The foundation of this book instead of being subjective and taking all things in comparison is instead based on one premise alone... that the kjv is the only correct translation period. In other words, judgement has already been passed before the evidence is presented. A kangaroo court. Of course the conclusion on the Septuagint would be negative. The writer in haste to defame a translation didn't seem to stop to cast a scrutinizing eye towards the masoretic or the kjv itself and in so doing set up a straw man argument. His evidence sounds like that offered from a teacher and absorbed instead of pure research. One argument after another presented by the writer is false. I would have to write a review for pages to address all of them. By the way, I was raised as a hard core fundamental Baptist so let it not be the typical accusation by believers "oh this reviewer is just a heathen" for simply not accepting the group think. I think the writer is merely pushing his beliefs when they seem solely grounded in group think. I don't need a Baptist pope to demand translation conformity or condemn me to hell if I disagree.

No research done. Just saying what he thinks
