Yes, many scholars say the book of Isaiah had three authors. But ... SarahM32 Aug 2012 #10

3 authors from 3 completely diferent periods of Judean History intaglio Aug 2012 #22

The translated quote from Isaiah that you include has a lot of the same cbayer Aug 2012 #6

Handel uses several exclusively Old Testament texts--and this is one. nt Thats my opinion Aug 2012 #8

Handel used Isaiah's words. SarahM32 Aug 2012 #9

Being Jeffersonian does not mean that you abandon apologetics intaglio Aug 2012 #30

Intaglio, I disagree. And here's why: SarahM32 Aug 2012 #32

I said he was an apologist. Many faiths have apologists intaglio Aug 2012 #35

No. Jefferson was not an Apologist. And furthermore ... SarahM32 Aug 2012 #36

You continue in your false description of apologetics intaglio Sep 2012 #55

Please. Let's be accurate. SarahM32 Sep 2012 #57

Again, apologetics is not just Christian, Isa is not the word you used intaglio Sep 2012 #59

Again, that's not relevant and avoids the issue. And ... SarahM32 Sep 2012 #60

I repeat only to be ignored by you again intaglio Sep 2012 #61

Okay, for the last time ... SarahM32 Sep 2012 #62

You distort and ignore, you are trapped in a web of deceit intaglio Sep 2012 #63

The relationship between Old Testament materials Thats my opinion Aug 2012 #31

Well, I wouldn't say that. SarahM32 Aug 2012 #33

Again you are speaking of "The Book of Isaiah" as if it is a singular production intaglio Aug 2012 #34

That story was published in February 2002. There's a more recent one online. SarahM32 Aug 2012 #47

FWIW: The writer of those articles, refers to himself in the thrid person, saying . . . Petrushka Sep 2012 #52

Ah, but you miss some very crucial facts. SarahM32 Sep 2012 #53

"...when he, the Spirit of truth, comes, he will guide you into all truth." ?? Petrushka Sep 2012 #56
