By relying heavily on the #MasoreticText (7th-10th century AD), the KJV neglects earlier Hebrew versions & the #Septuagint—texts used by the early Church—which often preserved prophetic Christological types & messianic readings.

The #MasoreticText (used in the time of Jesus, and used by Jerome to translate the OT into the #Vulgate) did not contain the 7 Deuterocanonical Books. Catholics: You want to use the Scriptures of the Jesus hating Jews? Catholics: We revere Mary as the Israelites revered the #ArkOfTheCovenant. #CatholicLogic

I thought I'd have a go at making some of my current academic writing a bit less stodgy. So: See link in profile for the first installment of the action-packed, edge-of-your-seat, nailbiting detective thriller: Murder on the Oriental 4445! #manuscripts #masoretictext #Bible

It is precisely these exceptions that the whole masoretic scaffolding was designed to protect. #Masora #MasoreticText #Hebrew

When learning the accents in the #MasoreticText, rule 101 is that you can only have one Atnah per verse, dividing the verse as a whole into two parts. Looks like codex #Or4445 didn't get the memo. (Numbers 16:26; fol. 135v) You can see for yourself at ihbmr dot com/manuscripts

🚨🚨 NOW LIVE – VERSEQUEST EXCLUSIVE SERIES 🚨🚨 👉 versequest.com/wp-content/up… THE SEPTUAGINT EXPOSED (Alongside The Masoretic Text Exposed) For years, so-called scholars have used the Septuagint and the Masoretic Text as academic scare tactics to cast doubt on verses in the King James Bible they don’t like. Most believers are never told what these texts actually are, only that they should trust the experts. This exclusive VerseQuest series pulls back the curtain. We define the terms plainly, expose how these texts are misused, and show why God’s promise was never to preserve ideas or concepts, but His very words. What sounds intellectual is often just another subtle attempt to weaken confidence in Scripture. This series is designed to equip the saints, educate the saints, and restore confidence in a preserved Bible. ⚔️ Knowledge removes intimidation. 📖 Truth strengthens faith. #VerseQuest #KJV #BiblePreservation #Septuagint #MasoreticText #DefendTheFaith #Scripture #EquipTheSaints #NOWLIVE

🚨🚨 NOW LIVE — VERSEQUEST EXCLUSIVE 🚨🚨 👉 versequest.com/wp-content/up… The Masoretic Text Exposed is a 35-essay bombshell series every King James Bible believer needs in their arsenal. Most Christians hear “the Hebrew says” and never ask which Hebrew, when, or who edited it. This series pulls back the curtain. We expose manuscript gaps, rabbinic edits, vowel pointing, marginal corrections, Dead Sea Scroll contradictions, Septuagint alignment, and why modern Bible versions lean on a text few scholars actually understand. This is not milk. This is a war manual. 📜⚔️ If you defend the KJV, this series was written for you. #VerseQuest #KingJamesBible #BiblicalPreservation #MasoreticText #BibleDefense #TextualCriticism #KJVOnly #ScriptureTruth

⚔️ THIS WEEKEND – TWO SERIES. ONE PURPOSE. ⚔️ The Masoretic Text Exposed The Septuagint Exposed These are two of the most common tools used today to intimidate Bible believers and quietly undermine confidence in the King James Bible. They’re often presented as “scholarly,” “ancient,” or “authoritative,” yet rarely explained honestly or clearly. This weekend, both series will be available as part of our ongoing mission to equip the saints and educate the saints. We define the terms, expose the misuse, and show how God has done exactly what He promised: preserved His words, not just ideas or impressions. The goal isn’t controversy. The goal is confidence. The goal isn’t argument. The goal is understanding. When you know what these texts really are and how they’re used, intimidation loses its power and faith stands firm. 📖 Two series. One preserved Bible. 🗓️ Available this weekend 🛡️ Add them to your arsenal. #KJV #BiblePreservation #DefendTheFaith #MasoreticText #Septuagint #EquipTheSaints #Scripture #VerseQuest

(8) The LXX was the Bible of Christ & the Apostles. The MT is a medieval product under Karaite influence. The Karaite method is “Scripture alone,” echoing Islam. The Church of the first centuries followed the Septuagint’s canon. That’s the textual history - not ideology, just facts. #Septuagint #LXX #MasoreticText #BiblicalStudies #TextualCriticism #EarlyChurch #ChurchFathers #DeadSeaScrolls #SolaScriptura #CanonDebate #Lutherfer #Lutheran #PRotestant #Reformation

🧵(1) Most Christians never realise this: The Masoretic Text (MT) is not the Bible of Jesus or the Apostles. It’s a medieval Karaite-era recension, finalised under Islamic rule - nearly a thousand years after Christ. #Septuagint #LXX #MasoreticText #BiblicalStudies #TextualCriticism #EarlyChurch #ChurchFathers #DeadSeaScrolls #SolaScriptura #CanonDebate #Lutherfer #Lutheran #PRotestant #Reformation

Masoretic Studies is FULL of puzzles. Here is just one example I've been thinking about for a while. #HebrewBible #MasoreticText #Masora #manuscripts

'A tenth part, a tenth part of fine grain...' The depth of attention to detail in the preservation of the #MasoreticText of the #HebrewBible never ceases to amaze me. Here, the word עשרון 'a tenth part' occurs twice, side by side. The note (green) indicates that the first time

Extraordinarily accurate copying of the biblical text - it agrees letter by letter with the Tiberian #MasoreticText. I'm currently writing simple descriptions of each fragment; thereafter images will be freely available on @theUL's digital library

#ETS2024 My first time. I loved the freedom to express, simultaneously, I love this text, because I love its Author, and He loves me! I spoke on the Babylonian recension of the #MasoreticText, trying to raise awareness of its existence & its potential as a text critical witness.
