Jesus quoted the Septuagint. If it’s good enough for Jesus, it’s good enough for me.

Good question. I have been enjoying this series too. Woe has been saying there is currently no *modern English* translation of the Bible that has not been corrupted, because they all rely on the masoretic text to some extent. The Greek Septuagint is scripture and the unadulterated word of God. However, there is currently no modern English Bible that relies solely on the Septuagint, and the translations that we do have of the Septuagint are archaic or overly academic. According to Woe that is. I think the Brenton transition reads fine, though I agree it is not on par with the ESV. I haven't heard them talk about the NETS but I wonder what they would think of that.
Hope that's helpful. Bottom line is you can trust God to preserve His word.

Even if it's not corrupted no one actually knows ancient Greek
Even if someone actually knew ancient Greek no one knows ancient cultures
Once you realize you cannot trust the text of the Bible you have to turn to God to open your mind and reveal his will to you

What do you mean no one knows ancient Greek?
Clearly people know it, or else they coudlnt translate it.. Or are you sort of saying people don't know it in the same sort of way you or I could go back and read Shakespeare, but probably miss the idioms and puns and other aspects of language that would have been lost without centuries of scholars carrying it forward with footnotes etc?
Personally I don't like the idea of not being able to trust the text of the Bible, given that we are told it's the unequivocal word of God. Especially the Septuagint.
The idea of what you are saying sounds like heresy to me (no offense). It sounds more like "I can't trust anything, so I'm going to search inward and find a translation I like, that fits with my priors" which is likely demonic.

I beg to differ. Plenty of people know ancient greek fluently, and I personally know people who can speak and read as well as their native language. I happen to be quiet proficient myself. We know a tremendous amount about their culture and their neighbors because of how much they wrote down.
You absolutely can trust the text of the Bible. I recommend checking out this guys youtube channel: Wes Huf. I've seen a lot of his content float around recently and he does a great job of explaining why this is true.
