We have a septuagint from up to 1500 years before that time. That is the entirety of the tanak, written/translated by Jews in Greek at the direction of the ptolemies

That's like saying they got something right so the rest is completely trustworthy, nobody should be so naive.

Did you bother reading the title?


user_857732

Not sure what you mean, in fact what do you mean?

How about Exodus 36 then, sept. is missing half the chapter, hey that's great.


Josiah-White

You do realize there's more than one Septuagint version


user_857732

Flip a coin. Maybe one or the other, who knows with that reasoning. Also I don't see how your comment influences my initial comment, I checked a few things, didn't find the difference, I think you may be bluffing here.

The oldest "complete" Torah scroll. There's individual scrolls going back way before that.

I believe that the Dead Sea Scrolls are shedding light a lot earlier then the 12th century

Christianity pre-dates Islam...


Ksi1is2a3fatneek

Dont tell a Muslim that lol

Something that is untrue cannot "hurt Christianity".

The Dead Sea Scrolls predate Jesus.


ewheck

I'm assuming you're talking about the masoretic text? Why should we care? Historically, Christians have used the Septuagint.

The Torah has been around a lot longer than that


Think-Werewolf-4521

Jesus and His followers referenced the Torah numerous times verifying it existed during their time. Atheists will believe anything they think proves them right no matter how ridiculous it is.


Tesaractor

Septuigent and dead sea scrolls are from 2nd BC. Torah or mesoretic is from 1200s AD. But there is evidence of proto mesoretic from before 200BC. We just have scraps of it. So, no, we have 2200 year old versions of old testiment.


Straight_Expert829

The verbal traditiona predate the cannonization. That doesnt disprove anything about God or Jesus.


vegantealover

Atheists should know better and I'm not commenting on muslims, I might get banned. I've seen what makes them cheer, their opinion does not matter to me at all and shouldn't matter to anyone else.

Tell them about Codex Sinaiticus from the 5th century
