One argument I hear that is unique to /ourguys/ is against the Masoretic Text, which is not evidence FOR the LXX at all.
The claim is that the Masoretic Text is “jewish”, and came much later than earlier texts, and is assumed to have been edited profusely in order to create a palatable religious text that jews could control.
The Leningrad and Aleppo Codexes (MT sources) pre date the Khazarian-Edomite merging in the Caucasus and have been shown to have extraordinary agreement between the two, as opposed to the manuscripts claimed to be the basis for the LXX, which disagree in THOUSANDS of places. The MT in Hebrew matches with other ancient sources of the same language, giving us as complete a picture as we can get at the present time. (The Aleppo Codex appears to have been mysteriously lost in Israel in 1947. Interesting timing to get rid of such an important document, but hey at least ALLLL of these other Greek manuscripts exist, right? Right?)
All this to say, I do not believe the MT to be some “jewish” deception document meant to deceive and draw people from the Word of God, but I do believe that is how the Septuagint has come to be used, especially when you look into the translators and supporters, men such as Wescott and Hort, famous Oxford Darwinists who were on the Catholic payroll and were admitted enemies of God.
