The Old Testament is used to provide context for the New Testament

You didn’t address the question.

We all know this, but he is talking about Protestants utilizing poorly-produced translations that neglect/distort OT prophecies of Jesus Christ.

This question started my journey to gnosticism

What the hell are you talking about?

>Early Christians starting with the Apostles themselves used the Greek written Septuagint for their citations to prove that Jesus was the Messiah.
>Jews hate this and abandoned this version of the OT and make a "Newer and Better" Hebrew version later on that has prophecies changed to make it not Jesus as the Messiah; called the Masoretic.
Today's Protestants for some reason prefer this "anti-christ" bible for the one that the Apostles used. My questions is... why?

He's talking bout protestant use of the Jewish cannon of the old testament as well as the Masoteric texts instead of using the Christian cannon and the Septuagint text.

"So, for virtually all Protestant and Orthodox believers, they read neither the Masoretic nor the Septuagint. They use translations by reputable scholars and all scholars that I know of use both the Masoretic and the Septuagint texts in attempts at arriving at the best English translation. To the extent this is true, your question becomes somewhat of a moot point."

"You say that you use the Masoretic Text for the translation of your Bible. I would challenge that statement. I do not know what translation you use, but as far as I know all important English translations use both the Masoretic and the Septuagint Texts in making their translations. There is no modern English translation which relies solely on the Masoretic Text, although really old translations such as the King James did rely quite largely on the Masoretic."

Guess I was never a KJV fag, Alexandrian is the most ancient, as far as I can tell.
