Perhaps you should just try to find the truth for a change.

You forgot to remind them to stick to the Anti-Christ Pharisee Approved Luther Subset of Scripture because Christ and the Apostles were wrong about what is really His Word. (That Jesus Christ, always forgetting to mention little things like which parts of the Septuagint were not His Word.)

It's a good thing that it only took fifteen hundred years for the Holy Spirit to get back to work and have a guy who would often defecate in his hand and throw his feces at Satan he saw standing in his room for those who follow Eve rather than Jesus Christ and worship their own, Most High and Holy Self by interpreting Scripture to suit their Self.

Also be sure they know that if all else fails and they can't throw out any more Scripture, they can always apply some "Superslick CLG" to slide past anything that they just can't seem to reinterpret in a way that helps them go along to get along.

The LXX originally consisted only of the Books of Moses, allegedly written by the 70 translators, or so goes the legend (and it is only a legend). There’s no actual historical information on when the rest of the Old Testament was translated into Greek, by whom, under whose authority (if any), or even when, except general dates in which people think they were likely completed. The apocrypha, similarly, of those not originally written in Greek in the first place, were translated and retranslated on more than one occasion, and the Jews did not regard them as divinely inspired scripture due to the fact that they were all composed during the period when the succession of the prophets had ceased. The Septuagint also has serious translation problems, especially in regards to the Messianic prophecies. The Apostles, who were now converting the Gentiles, quoted from the Greek LXX, but hardly strictly. There’s no reason to think they thought Judith, for example, was really divine scripture and history.

“It’s a good thing that it only took fifteen hundred years for the Holy Spirit to get back to work”


Evidently your religion took 600+ years to figure out the Pope was actually the head of the church, and even longer then that to figure that they always believed in transubstantiation, Mariolotry, and so forth. As for the Gospel message, from Christ, to the Apostles, to Augustine, to Luther, to Calvin, we have a pretty good track record.
