When you look up Old Testament verses quoted by New Testament writers, you have
probably noticed that they don’t read the same in your Old Testament as they do in
your New Testament. Have you ever wondered why? The reason is that, most of the time, Jesus and His apostles quoted from the Septuagint—not from the Masoretic Text. Yet, today, almost all English Bibles use the Masoretic text for the Old Testament, not the Septuagint.
So, in this series of messages, Bercot asks the logical question: Why don’t we use the same Bible as Jesus and the apostles? In the course of this message, you will learn about:
● The numerous New Testament passages that match the Septuagint, but not the Masoretic Text.
● The many Old Testament passages that are contradictory in the Masoretic Text—but not in the Septuagint
● How the New Testament writers used the vocabulary and spiritual concepts of the Septuagint
● Why the early church insisted on using the Septuagint as their Old Testament
● When and how the Roman Catholic Church dropped the Septuagint and adopted the Masoretic Text in its place—a tradition later followed by the Reformers
