Bible Question (short): Didn't Jesus use the Septuagint? |
Question (full): Why did the early(1st century)Church including Jesus and the Apostles use the Septuagint translation of the Old Testament if it contained books or portions of books that were not of God? Wasn't the Hebrew canon of the OT as we now have it not made in reaction to the early Church's use and acceptance of the Septuagint? You say "the Protestant Bible does not" but what about the original 1611 King James Version? It has the Apocrypha. The King James most people use now is an edited version from about 1759. Why would the Holy Spirit let the majority of Christians(Orthodox, Roman Catholic, Anglican)through the ages continue to use the "Apocrypha"? |
