Hi avi,

AFAIK, the Greek translation of the specific LXX commandeered by Commander Constantine is usually attributed to Origen and specifically to his "Hexapla", on account of the testimony of Eusebius, who claims to have inherited the library of Origen, along with "Pamphilus".

AFAIK the "Christian tradition" has it that the LXX was translated to Greek from the Hebrew Bible in the epoch BCE, and was then subsequently altered from the original greek, by "Early Christian Scribes", by the prolific substitution of the standard array of over a dozen unique "christian nomina sacra" codes. This greek LXX and also these "nomina sacra" codes were then used by the authors of the new testament, in some century, to assemble (via copy and paste) the Greek text of the new testament.

There may be some LXX papyri dated by handwriting analysis - I dont know. AFAIK there is no evidence to indicate this could not have happened as late as Eusebius in the 4th century.

You forgot to credit Eusebius's Big Imperial Boss with his Big Barbarian Army, who fraudulently declares in his "Oration at Antioch", that the prophecy of the the birth of Jesus was mentioned by two 1st century BCE Roman poets Virgil and Cicero

"Son of God" is a Jewish concept, of which "God the Son" is a pagan distortion.

The archaeology suggests that Apollo, the son of Zeus, and Asclepius, the son of Apollo, were Greek concepts.

So now a post which started out as a discussion of the relation between the OT prophesies and the composition of the gospel has gotten mired in ... the fourth century conspiracy theory of mountainman and his sidekick avi.

Wonderful. There has to be a limit to every meaningful discussion it seems around here. Send in the clowns!

The OP wanted a list of OT prophecies which were fullfilled by Jesus of the NT. I supplied a few lists. I appreciate lists. They can be fed into databases no matter how big or small the list is. I dont know what the purpose of the request was, other thn to get some data.


You should be dealing with the evidence. Try assessing this article: The vacuum of evidence for pre-4th century Christianity



It does seem that way sometimes stephan.
You wont talk about the Jewish-Italian Momigliano.



So you're done with the Marcion act?

Marcion is a real historical phenomenon critical for understanding the development of the New Testament and earliest Christianity. The only usefulness the mountainman-fourth-century-conspiracy would have for anyone in academia would be if a clinical psychologist wished to examine the cognitive strategies used by the delusional to avoid accepting incontrovertible historical evidence.
