It was separated from the rest of the prophetical books into its own scroll. Apparently, the Lord feels like it is very important too because it is quoted directly at least sixty-six times in the New Testament and twenty of the twenty-seven New Testament writers reinforce their message by quoting Isaiah. Its value can be illustrated by a number of things. First, only Psalms contains more predictions of Christ than does Isaiah. In ...

They attended the church they did, because their parents told them to, and they “believed” what they did because their parents told them to. Some of them grew up in homes where their parents tried to teach them not only what the church they attended believed, but why. In some cases, that didn’t happen, but in ...
