but no, you like to micro cross examine to the Nth degree
Actually, I haven't had to cross examine anything, "micro" or otherwise. My job has been relatively easy:
1. I haven't had to pry pronouns away from their antecedents in order to force a verse to conform to my agenda.
2. I haven't had to studiously ignore one verse in the bible, lest its clear usage of the same terms prevent me from contorting the sense of another.
3. I haven't had to throw my septuagint out the window.
4. I haven't had to interpolate that someone not alluded to in the text likely relatively did something later.
5. And I haven't had to think up prejudicial adjectives like, "micro", "little (fault)" and "weak" to fill up my posts with in the hope that no one will notice that I don't have a credible argument.
I've had only to read the verses in their grammatically correct context, and compare scripture with scripture for the proper understanding of terminology.
You're free to continue your protestations here if you wish. But unless I see something more substantial than this special pleading, I will consider the matter closed.
Namaste'

Ken :
The LXX was the scroll that Jesus read from in Luke 4 which gives it His stamp of approval.
Paul used the LXX too. It was the "Bible" in N.T. times.
If Jesus and Paul used the LXX then this source becomes an eminent source. Your focus on errors is lopsided and completely misleading.
