On another note, Contra Marcion, I thought you did the right thing from a teaching/pastoral perspective in how you handled the Sunday School discussion.
Hi Joe,

The alleged LXX and New Testament quotations of the Old Testament was just discussed at great length in the History of the Authorized Version thread. You may wish to check that thread.

The PDF file I provided in post # 3 provides their argument regarding that.
