I posted this in the Islamist in the Navy thread in response to Clyde the Papist's nonsense. The post is probably more useful here, so I'm cross posting. If any of the Pastors feel I am in error, please correct.

Thanks.

Mel Gibson got the language right in The Passion Jesus was speaking Aramaic, the Romans were speaking Greek....not the queen's English. The King James Version of the Bible is the Great Protestant Tradition. Jesus as a man was a Jew...his Old Testament was The Septuagint which is the Catholic Old Testament...you know the that extra books in it. It's funny how those books were good enough for Jesus but not for King James.

Well brainy boy, you got it wrong. The Septuagint is indeed a translation from Hebrew to Greek by Greeks in the 300's BC. However, the Pentateuch (or Torah) is a translation from Hebrew to Greek by Hebrews in the 200's BC. Note that it is a later translation, and by Hebrews who should know their own works better than some Greeks. Which do you think would be more accurate?

But wait there is more!

The Septuagint includes books that were not included in the Pentateuch! How can that be? Why would those Greek translators ADD things that were not there?

The KJV1611 is translated from the Pentateuch so it of course does not contain the books ADDED by the Greeks to the Septuagint that were never in the actual Hebrew Pentateuch. Those books you say were good enough for Jesus but not for King James were not even IN the correct translation. Thus, Catholicism is proven WRONG again!
