First, sorry but I had to ask. People often simply accept something they have read without tracking down the sources in order to verify them. Sometimes those citations do not support the claim or simply do not exist at all. That is why I ask for specific references in order to check. It was...
I see nine books containing 17 volumes total. That is literally hundreds, most likely thousands of pages. I cannot read the whole Talmud looking for one reference.
Could you cut and paste the information (as cited in the Talmud) and the reference point in the Talmud for the following claim...
Sorry that is not the Talmud. That is a book about the Talmud not a translation of the Talmud.
Here is the title page.
Volume I: History of the Talmud: Title Page
Here is the table of contents.
Babylonian Talmud, Book 10, Rodkinson tr.: History of the Talmud Index
The Talmud is divided into...
Sorry but I asked for primary sources. That is not a primary source.
You said "the talmud documents confirm the translation of Aquila and the Rabbi who ordained the translation along with the reason why."
That source is not the Talmud. A source can say anything it wants when no one can check...
This passage is very interesting (and is the third example). The N.T. and LXX are close but there are two differences.
εἶπεν ὁ κύριος τῷ κυρίῳ μου κάθου ἐκ δεξιῶν μου ἕως ἂν θῶ τοὺς ἐχθρούς σου ὑποπόδιον τῶν ποδῶν σου (Psalm 109:1 LXX)
εἶπεν κύριος τῷ κυρίῳ μου κάθου ἐκ δεξιῶν μου ἕως ἂν θῶ...
No need to apologize.
The Talmud is a huge work, many volumes. Please provide those primary sources references (and links if you would be so kind) so that I may check them.
Yes I know there are differences. I never disagreed with that. Yet there are example from the N.T. which disagree with...
Every one should be aware that site you posted is anti-Bible\anti-Christian?
On the Home Page it states:
"The statement above is typically what every Christian believe. However, a careful study of the Bible proves that it is full of errors, ranging from scientific, historical, arithmetical...
Here is a third example.
Matt. 27:46
θεέ μου θεέ μου, ἱνατί με ἐγκατέλιπες
my God, my God, why have you forsaken me
Psalm 21:2 LXX
ὁ θεὸς ὁ θεός μου, πρόσχες μοι, ἵνα τί ἐγκατέλιπές με
God, my God, attend to me, why have you forsaken me
Psalm 22:1 MT
אֵלִי אֵלִי לָמָה עֲזַבְתָּנִי
my God, my...
There was no "e.g. virgin birth" in my post. That is not what I said. You misunderstood me. I was referencing something else entirely. I wholly affirm the virgin birth.
First, one must begin with the text itself, both the Hebrew and the Greek. Second, there are no LXX manuscripts that...
And now back to the N.T., LXX, and MT. This is our second example.
Matt 2:15
ἐξ Αἰγύπτου ἐκάλεσα τὸν υἱόν μου
out of Egypt I called my son
Hosea 11:1 (LXX)
ἐξ Αἰγύπτου μετεκάλεσα τὰ τέκνα αὐτοῦ
out of Egypt I called his children
MT
מִמִּצְרַיִם, קָרָאתִי לִבְנִי
out of Egypt I called my son...
I put all of these comments together because they all go pretty much to the same point.
The belief that the LXX is divinely inspired is certainly not new. Certain individuals over time have made the same claim regarding other translations as well (i.e. the Vulgate, KJV, etc.) Personally I do...
This kind of information comes from much later sources and traditions. Those are the claims of Rabbinic Judaism which were not codified until the sixth century in the Talumd. Exactly how much is accurate is difficult to know. However, we do know some things (and have evidence to prove it)...
