Made in Alexandria: The Origin of the Yahweh Cult

RE: Made in Alexandria: The Origin of the Yahweh Cult
I'm not lying about the substance of your posts. You continue to ignore all of the important points I bring up, and refuse to discuss them. Why should I take you seriously?

Your theory is that the Old Testament was written in Greek - not in Hebrew - and later translated into Hebrew. That's your theory. When I point out to you that secular contemporary scholars do not view the text that way, you ignore it. When I point out to you loanwords and transliteration as evidence for the original language you ignore that too. When I point out to you that you have to accept the carbon dating to the 4th century BC of the Great Isaiah Scroll if you're willing to ignore scholarly thought on Biblical Text, you ignore that too. You offer no explanations for any of this.

Hebrew is a much more primitive written language than Greek. What would be the purpose in translating from Greek to Hebrew?

We have multiple Greek versions, because there are multiple Greek translations. We do not have multiple Hebrew versions.

The Tetragrammaton is another piece of evidence. It doesn't appear in any MSS of the LXX. Without it the verses where God clearly gives his name is nonsensical.
