@raibilrei Persecution happened just as much under Islamic rule as it did under Christian rule. Don’t know where you got your facts from…

⁠ @george_wbranchaud_jr2211 True, but it’s gone. The oldest septuagint we have is from like 400AD. Meaning it’s a translation, and copy of a copy of a copy and so on.

@morlewen7218 ”Corrupted” haha. No it’s called Oral Traditions. The Septuagint is based off a different oral tradition, same for the DSS, & Masoretic text, it’s why none all 100% agree. You really think from Mount Sinai to 100AD every Hebrew letter was preserved?? No Oral Traditions within the communities made their way into Scriptures. You say “corrupted” because you’re not Jewish and don’t like that we changed our OWN scriptures.

@clouds-rb9xt and Islam superseded Christianity. It’s why Islam is growing, and Christianity is falling.

⁠ @saulm58 A translation older than the original is worth nothing. Nevermind the fact you don’t even have the original Septuagint. The Septuagint is worthless now that the Dead Sea Scrolls have been discovered too.

@jflaplaylistchannelunoffic3951 No, it’s differing oral traditions. The Oral traditions that creeped into scripture when copied by Scribes is why DSS, Septuagint and Masoretic sometimes disagree with each other. I’ll place money on if a manuscript that’s found to be older then the DSS to disagree with the DSS. It’s just differing oral traditions. Hence why the Talmud was created.

⁠ @alazar8888 The Biblia Hebraica Quinta is the newest updated version but isn’t fully complete and is going on 30 years. There isn’t nearly as much funding for the OT criticism compared to the NT. There’s been numerous projects like the Biblia Hebraica but all have fizzled out, the OT is longer, and in more languages (Hebrew, Syriac, Greek, Latin, Coptic and many more) and requires a lot more funding than the NT. The Masoretic codices were made late because we were more concerned about our survival than making an organized text. It was only when rich Jews realized there was differing Hebrew manuscripts circulating they decided to try making an organized text. And only 3 complete Masoretic codices remain (Leningrad, Sassoon, Aleppo) although some pages are missing. Honestly it’s a mess. There’s also critical editions of the Hebrew Bible for the Septuagint, Latin & Syriac that only focus on each specific language but you can’t combine all of them, it’s just way to much variants, too long, and little funding. The BHQ takes ALL the Hebrew variants but not all the Septuagint, Latin or Syriac variants, they each have their own versions.
