The Holy Bible very clearly says: "πᾶσα γραφὴ θεόπνευστος", which ONLY refers to the original Hebrew OT and Greek NT. Period!

:Rolleyes

you said in #83, "God quotes from a translation". He NEVER does, this is pure guesswork!

which can be mistaken, right?

bottom line is, that NO, not even the LXX is or can be inspired by the Holy Spirit. It is impossible!

the LXX was completed by about 150 B.C., and used by the Church fathers. I do not believe the the NT writers quoted from it

and how do you know this? The Hebrew community did not know of it nor use it. Nor did the Christian community.

He does not "regenerate" or "enable" the will, as some believe. As the former is the same as "born-again", which only takes place after the sinner is saved. the latter makes God a "respecter of persons", which is impossible.

Let me ask the question. The NT quotes that are equivalent to the Greek text of the LXX, are these quotes "inspired" in exactly the same way that the original Hebrew OT is?

Ah, now you have modified your response! you now say the quotes in the NT are from the LXX or Hebrew, which is not what you said earlier. I believe in the complete Inspiration of the entire 66 Books of the Holy Bible, but only in the ORIGINALS. Answer to your question. Yes.

But God did not, and you are just assuming that He did, with no evidence for this. There is a huge difference between the ORIGINALS and TRANSLATIONS. The former is directly Inspired by God the Holy Spirit, and the latter are NOT.

"On the other hand, if you are asking whether or not the LXX quotes in the NT should be considered by us to be inspired, my answer is "Yes." are these your words, or are you here quoting someone else?

but they are NOT from the LXX

Again, for the 100 time! I have never said that it is NOT, so don't try to make me out to be someone that does. I am saying that these QUOTES are NOT from the LXX, but a Hebrew Bible of the original.

you accuse me of not understanding the English language? The OT Hebrew ORIGINAL is NOT a translation, but the direct Word of Almighty God given to the writers.Which is what I have been saying in plain English. Do you have access to the DSS, or a study Bible with the DSS in the notes, or a book...

in #71 you wrote, "If the New Testament quotes of the LXX are not inspired...". meaning exactly what?

so what are you answering yes to? Re-read what you said.

not the point. IF, you accept that the LXX is Inspired as the Hebrew OT and Greek NT are, in the originals, than what of these books. The RCC say that they are, and by your own reasoning, you also agree with them!

Indeed, ONLY the original languages are directly Inspired by the Holy Spirit, but there are some here who cannot grasp this. The quotes in the NT that agree with the LXX, are from a Hebrew text of manuscripts that are older than the MT, and in these places agree with the LXX. It is this Hebrew...

Can't you people read English? John is talking about the NT quotes from the LXX. This is what this discussion is all about!
