@Berean,

What is the meaning behind Isa 56:1-8? You always post a passage without explanation, as if the simple reading of it is explanatory. Why is G-d talking about the Sabbath and connecting back to the foreigner and the eunuch?

You have found an interesting passage, but the meaning goes way beyond what you seem to be suggesting it says (once…[Read more]

@Berean,

The seventh-day Sabbath was instituted at Creation for all humanity, not for a single nation.

Did you not read my last sentence of my last post? I explicitly said to follow G-d’s example of resting and your body will thank you for it. Did comprehension fail you at that moment or did you not read all that I wrote? I’ve asked you in the pas…[Read more]

@Berean,

Are you really this obtuse?!?!? The “my people” isn’t a reference to Israel and Isaiah isn’t the “speaker” in this part; it’s a reference to the nations.

When are you going to identify who is speaking where?? Once you do that, your muddy water will suddenly become clear.

@Berean,

(IBA)

Your “devotional” is another fine example of parachute theology; I found a verse I like, it sounds like what I believe, and will then apply it to my belief system as proof.

You quote Mal 4:1-3, did you read the next verse??? “Remember the law of my servant Moses, to whom at Horeb I gave rules and regulations for all Israel to ob…[Read more]

@Berean,

(aka I’ll Believe Anything),

Did you just “back down”?? YUP!! You sure did!!

You really need to explain the “millennial reign” because at the end Satan is to be released and deceive many; the question is why didn’t the king Jesus let everyone know this was going to happen and prepare them for this? What happened to the NT bible, did i…[Read more]

@Berean,

(aka I’ll Believe Anything),

So now you’re backing down when it comes to Cain and Abel!?
Why is that?

Backing down?!?!?! You have yet to explain anything and constantly shift topics!! You are the definition of “backing down”!! When you can’t explain why you believe what you believe or support your beliefs with G-d’s words (the Tanakh…[Read more]

@Berean,

Where did the Cain and Abel thing come from?!?!? Talk about random!! By the way, we’ve been over this before; do you not remember?? I asked you what it meant and you couldn’t tell me! Such “strong” beliefs you have when you can’t support what you believe; we call that being gullible.

You understand Psalm 22 is poetry…right!! So the ev…[Read more]

@Berean,

CONTEXT IS EVERYTHING!!

Go ahead, explain what happened with David’s clothes when we shared them.

“When we shared them”, say what???

15 The roof of my mouth is as dry as a piece of pottery; my tongue sticks to my gums. You set me in the dust of death. 16 Yes, wild dogs surround me – a gang of evil men crowd around me; like a lion they…[Read more]

@Berean,

Blah, blah, blah; the Psalm is about David NOT the Jesus. You believe a lie!

More Parachute theology, drop in on a passage that one thinks is about the Jesus because is sounds like the Jesus. Read the entire chapter and place that single verse into the context it was written and there will be no the Jesus. Besides, Ps 22 isn’t M…[Read more]

@Berean,

Ps 22 is a Psalm by David, about David; how do you get the Jesus out of that? Oh vs16 of the king Jimmy sounds like the Jesus so it must be! More parachute theology…

“For dogs have compassed me: the assembly of the wicked have enclosed me: they pierced my hands and my feet.”

What the Hebrew translated says, “For dogs have surro…[Read more]

@Berean,

Who is the “he”, who is the “our”?

If you can’t identify who these pronouns are, why do you believe what you believe?

Still waiting for how the Jesus fulfilled Isa 53 when he wasn’t “innocent”; he was violent, deceitful, was desired, and he wasn’t so hideous that people avoided him. I have given the passages proving the person descri…[Read more]

@Berean,

Talk about being “under the law”, isn’t observing the Sabbath part of the “law”? Why is observing a Jewish command so important to the SDA? Why does the SDA only seek to convert the christian and NOT the “unsaved”? Sound a little upside down and backwards.

The “command” was actually an example set by G-d to take a day and rest as HE did…[Read more]

@Berean,

Who is this “innocent” figure, this servant? Christianity says it’s the Jesus, but using the words of the NT we find the Jesus ISN’T all that “innocent.” Judaism says it Israel and what’s crazy is we are told who this “servant” is.

But you, Israel, my servant, Jacob, whom I have chosen, the offspring of Abraham, my friend. (Isa 41:8…[Read more]

@Berean,

If the expression “his death” was in the plural, the expression “his grave” would ALSO be in the plural.

How many “graves” can one person be buried in? Why are you shooting the messenger, I’m reading the original text!! The text your OT is based upon! Jump back to 43:10 “Ye are my witnesses, saith the Lord, and my servant whom I have ch…[Read more]

@Berean,

You keep wanting this to be about the Jesus and it simply isn’t so. The passage you question (vs9) is yet another mistranslation of the Hebrew. The Hebrew for “in his death” is בְּמוֹתוֹ and is the singular form. What is written is בְּמוֹתָיו (verify on biblehub) and is in the plural “in his deaths”, so the passage should read: “An…[Read more]

@Danny Dobbs,

@Berean,

This is NOT difficult! I never said Israel was sinless and most certainly NOT blameless in their actions against G-d, this is the reason the Israelite’s are in exile!!! This is the reason G-d sent the prophets, to warn them of what was coming if they didn’t change and turn back to G-d. Are we reading from the same tex…[Read more]

@Berean,

You were told it was a singular person; now prove it. I can prove the nation Israel was referred to the singular many times, so to say this passage specifically refers to a singular person (the Jesus) means nothing without evidence. To “believe”/“trust”/“have faith” that this passage is referring to the Jesus also means nothing, as…[Read more]

@Berean,

If it’s about a person then you DON’T want it to be about the Jesus because he failed in every instance! You still haven’t proved 53 is speaking of the Jesus; where as I have gone thru the first part of the chapter compared it to the NT and have found fault after fault AND gave you sources for verification. Now who is being stubb…[Read more]

@Berean,

You really need to live up to your moniker “Berean”…remember they are the ones who verified everything.

Don’t thank me for filling in the blanks you were asked to fill in; that’s laziness on your part or the lack of understanding.

All we like sheep have gone astray; we have turned everyone to his own way; and the LORD hath laid on…

@Berean,

Apparently you don’t want to go over this chapter again.

As far as who is speaking in the chapter, I’ll fill in the blanks for you since you can’t:

52:13-15 – God describes the suffering and eventual restoration of the servant (Israel) and it shocks the nations.
53:1-3 – The nations restate what God said in 52:13-15.
53:4-9 – The nat…[Read more]
