I personally think some of the comments on this site can get pretty ridiculous at times, more importantly, they can utterly obliterate an otherwise important message. However, you know what is said about opinions and how they are like a particular body part (everybody’s got one, and they all stink). The thing I have seen that truly ruins credibility is when atheists/agnostics/whatever pontificate about the Bible, yet they don’t believe in it in the first place.

Septuagint / LXX is something that gets thrown around so much, and many readers don't actually know what's being discussed. Familiarity, contempt, and all that.
Yes, there are some places where LXX is surprisingly different from KJV, and more than just quirks of old English.
I have a Lexham Septuagint along with my KJV study Bible, and a JPS Tanakh which is Masoretic, and numerous other helps, it is fascinating indeed to study the differences.
The things done by the Masoretic translation to muddle the proof of Christ are incredibly obvious when you compare Masoretic and Septuagint, and I find Septuagint most convincing bc it PREDATES Jesus yet describes him so accurately!
