Objections section--

In the Objections section the last paragraph is not entirely clear, It seems that it says the Septuagint is more accurate than the Masoretic Text and thus shows the accuracy of Old Testament of Jesus Christ. But the Masoretic Text is as much as 900 years older than the the Septuagint so could never have been used as a basis for prophesy in the time of the Evangelists at all. So their is a bad comparison and claim being made. In addition, the Septuagint and the Hebrew version differ to such an extent that the New Testament Prophesies only work in the Septuagint Translation. This is not an issue because the Evangelists were using the the Septuagint, a less accurate translation, but it at least should be mentioned in the article.
