Bible Note: Lisa The Jewish cannon was completed well before the Christian cannon. The Jewish cannon was formed and used before the writing of the Septuagint which was written about 70 years before Jesus’ birth. The Septuagint is the canonical Hebrew text translated into Koine Greek. The fact that the Septuagint existed at the time of Jesus leads many to believe Jesus may have actually read from it. In any case He being God would have been aware of Septuagint and surely would have said “folks you missing some verses in Daniel or you need to include the Maccabees etc.” Further “The Dead Sea Scrolls” provide proof that the copies of the Septuagint we have found and what existed at the time of Christ are in fact virtual copies of each other. I feel certain the Old Testament was complete and intact and needed no other additions or subtractions just by this fact. EdB |
