Thank You for this.

If there is a reason to use e-Sword this is it. TBH I am only 2 hrs in and while I have been liberated from KJV only, I am a bit angry at the decption I labored under. I like KJV, but will never submit to the nonsense of KJV onlyism ever again. Praise God for this study.

Happy to hear it friend! It's frustrating when you see people being so adamantly for something that isn't true, especially when there's just so much evidence to the contrary. Hopefully more will see what you see. We have to be Bereans today otherwise there are plenty of lies waiting on every corner.

As just a regular brother in the church taking Heb 13:17 seriously, frustration is a kind way to put it. This is not some hobby, it is life and death. When we are deceived, dissapointment and frustration don't even scrath the surface.

Well, enough of that. Let us continue to rejoice in this Salvation.

Thank you so much for doing this topic! Do you have a recommendation for Brenton's English translation of the Septuagint in book form? His original perhaps? I've seen various reprints.

I use e-Sword so I'm not sure which version it is, but I think any is going to be useful.

Such a fascinating subject, Tudor. Over 3 hours into the presentation, made me very curious to look at all the Bibles I have to compare to the Septuagint. The one I use daily is the Orthodox Study Bible which states it uses the Septuagint using the NKJV as the base text. The Eastern Orthodox Bible is only the New Testament so far as I can find. It too is from the Septuagint and from what I've found the EOC plans to produce the OT and NT from the Septuagint. My great grandmother's family Bible of 1868 American Bible Society also appears to be using the Septuagint with base text KJV. Other Bibles we have are KJV and Peshitta from Aramaic. I have a great appreciation now for the Septuagint.

That's great to hear Donna! I'm happy to see people eagerly doing their research and not settling for easy answers. We have to be Bereans these days

I study with bibles,concordance Ipad laptop and phone all open often . I have always liked to compare what's being said. I have been both shocked and enlightened, at the variances. Bottom line. They could never take the truth out of the Word no matter how hard they tried. They can never outsmart God. What a Mighty and Powerful God we serve.

You have to import Bibles. Go to the top, resources, Bibles and then download whatever you want. Then restart the program and then go back to resource settings and make sure the new translations are added.
