Isa:45:3: And I will give thee the treasures of darkness, and hidden riches of secret places, that thou mayest know that I, the LORD, which call thee by thy name, am the God of Israel.
Isa:45:4: For Jacob my servant's sake, and Israel mine elect, I have even called thee by thy name: I have surnamed thee, though thou hast not known me.
Isa:45:5: I am the LORD, and there is none else, there is no God beside me: I girded thee, though thou hast not known me:
Isa:45:6: That they may know from the rising of the sun, and from the west, that there is none beside me. I am the LORD, and there is none else.
Isa:45:7: I form the light, and create darkness: I make peace, and create evil: I the LORD do all these things.
Isa:45:8: Drop down, ye heavens, from above, and let the skies pour down righteousness: let the earth open, and let them bring forth salvation, and let righteousness spring up together; I the LORD have created it.
Isa:45:9: Woe unto him that striveth with his Maker! Let the potsherd strive with the potsherds of the earth. Shall the clay say to him that fashioneth it, What makest thou? or thy work, He hath no hands?
Far be it from me, Mr Martin, but the context seems fine and, at Isa:45:9, we have the derisory comment from The Lord of Hosts Himself, about not having hands… taken with the other verses quoted earlier, what could be more clear than the Lord's view of the cripple?
The Brothers and Sisters here seem to have it right. Or do you think you know better than God?
Just out of interest, tell me, what did they teach you at the Jesuit seminary? Probably mere political and satan-inspired dogma.
Contrast this with, Purgatory or no purgatory, indulgences or no indulgences; creation or no creation; inquisition or no inquisition, slavery or no slavery; help the Nazis or not help the Nazis; intrigues and abominations in the Vatican throughout history; deep guilt complex; suppression of women or revering their idols; kill the Jews or not kill the Jews; the list goes on… and on… and on.
Open you eyes Mr Martin! Isa:45:7 is the Lord’s Word and nothing you or your commercial organization could say or do will alter it one jot or tittle. It is there until Judgement Day.
