Bigger insult to God I have not come across yet, comparing actually identifying Him with drunken Jewish priests, <<(..
Isaiah 28:10,13 ..)>>.
You obviously do
not understand Isaiah 28,
neither what I stated, and so here it is more plainly:
"Whom shall he teach knowledge? and whom shall he make to understand doctrine? [them that are] weaned from the milk, [and] drawn from the breasts. Isaiah 28:9
For precept [must be] upon precept, precept upon precept; line upon line, line upon line; here a little, [and] there a little: Isaiah 28:10
God, has said that
"precept upon precept, precept upon precept" and
"line upon line, line upon line" "here a little [and] there a little" is they way one learns the Good Doctrine of the LORD. Beginning with the simple and soon
"weaned from the milk" even unto
"meat" as sayeth Paul.
[1 Corinthians 3:1-2]
For with stammering lips and another tongue will he speak to this people. Isaiah 28:11
To whom he said, This [is] the rest [wherewith] ye may cause the weary to rest; and this [is] the refreshing: yet they would not hear. Isaiah 28:12
This is the way God would lead in His word, even the Holy Spirit Himself leads into all Truth from Light unto more glorious Light, but they refused to hear the Word spoken, they refused the way in which it was to be given.
Therefore, because they have refused and rejected knowledge and wisdom of God in "precept upon precept" and
"line upon line" they are then fallen "backward" and
"broken" and
"snared" and
"taken".
My people are destroyed for lack of knowledge: because thou hast rejected knowledge, I will also reject thee, that thou shalt be no priest to me: seeing thou hast forgotten the law of thy God, I will also forget thy children. Hosea 4:6
But the word of the LORD was unto them precept upon precept, precept upon precept; line upon line, line upon line; here a little, [and] there a little; that they might go, and fall backward, and be broken, and snared, and taken. Isaiah 28:13
"...for in
Verse 12,
two sources are cited in various scriptures, just as it should be,
"line upon line" and
"here a little" and
"there a little". In one place it is said
"Here is rest, give rest to the weary" and in another it is said,
"Here is repose".
This is how the scriptures work, yet they would not listen to the instruction of the Lord, so they then
"may go and stumble backward, be broken, snared and taken captive."
Notice also that last line, it is also cited elsewhere:
And many among them shall stumble, and fall, and be broken, and be snared, and be taken. Isaiah 8:15
Context of that verse.
Isaiah, himself is using the very principle, in teaching
"line upon line", from quoting from those two sources and using them together, for
"precept [is to be] upon precept".
But they also have erred through wine, and through strong drink are out of the way; the priest and the prophet have erred through strong drink, they are swallowed up of wine, they are out of the way through strong drink; they err in vision, they stumble [in] judgment. Isaiah 28:7
For all tables are full of vomit [and] filthiness, [so that there is] no place [clean]. Isaiah 28:8
QUESTION:
Whom shall he teach knowledge? and whom shall he make to understand doctrine? Isaiah 28:9a...
ANSWER:
... [them that are] weaned from the milk, [and] drawn from the breasts. Isaiah 28:9b
For precept [must be] upon precept, precept upon precept; line upon line, line upon line; here a little, [and] there a little: Isaiah 28:10
So, who are they that are "weened from the milk" and "drawn from the breasts"? They who read the word of the Lord by His instruction, being "precept upon precept" and "line upon line", even "here a little" and "there a little". Going from the basics and surface to the deep and more spiritual wisdom of the Love of GOD.
For with stammering lips and another tongue will he speak to this people. Isaiah 28:11
And he has, even by converted gentiles, even in parables, and in dark sayings ["...I will open my mouth in parables; I will utter things which have been kept secret from the foundation of the world." Matthew 13:35;p; "I will open my mouth in a parable: I will utter dark sayings of old:" Psalms 78:2 and also Psalms 49:4; "To understand a proverb, and the interpretation; the words of the wise, and their dark sayings." Proverbs 1:6; compare also to Daniel 8:23 and the "little horn" Papal position who understands "dark sentences", for they claim to understand the parables and to even teach them...]
To whom he said, This [is] the rest [wherewith] ye may cause the weary to rest; and this [is] the refreshing: yet they would not hear. Isaiah 28:12 [see also Isaiah 30:15]
For GOD hath said in Exodus 16:23, "this...[is] the rest...", Exodus 23:12, 31:17, "refreshed", etc... [consider also Exodus 33:14; Deuteronomy 12:10, 25:19; Joshua 14:15, 23:1; 2 Samuel 7:1,11; 1 Chronicles 22:9; Isaiah 14:3; also Acts 3:19, etc.]
But the word of the LORD was unto them precept upon precept, precept upon precept; line upon line, line upon line; here a little, [and] there a little; that they might go, and fall backward, and be broken, and snared, and taken. Isaiah 28:13
The preceding verse declares that GOD hath shown them [the rebellious] how to receive rest, and refreshing, yet "they would not hear", even though the "word of the LORD was unto them precept upon precept", etc. They have no excuse for their not knowing, they have no excuse for their not being able to find rest, for it was given in the Word, "precept upon precept", "line upon line". There is no excuse for rebellion and refusal to hear it. When they refuse "precept upon precept" and "line upon line", they will "go, and fall backward, and be broken, and snared and taken", because they have refused the very counsel of God, and have refused His rest.
Wherefore hear the word of the LORD, ye scornful men, that rule this people which [is] in Jerusalem. Isaiah 28:14
Because ye have said, We have made a covenant with death, and with hell are we at agreement; when the overflowing scourge shall pass through, it shall not come unto us: for we have made lies our refuge, and under falsehood have we hid ourselves: Isaiah 28:15
It will be torn away, even as it was unto them in the 1st Advent.
Therefore thus saith the Lord GOD, Behold, I lay in Zion for a foundation a stone, a tried stone, a precious corner [stone], a sure foundation: he that believeth shall not make haste. Isaiah 28:16
Judgment also will I lay to the line, and righteousness to the plummet: and the hail shall sweep away the refuge of lies, and the waters shall overflow the hiding place. Isaiah 28:17
Another hail is coming... and under it, all lies shall be swept away.
"II. What method they took, in pursuance of this design. ...
They took great pains with them, and with great prudence, teaching them as they needed it and were able to bear it (v. 10): Precept upon precept. It must be so, or (as some read) it has been so.They have been taught, as children are taught to read, by precept upon precept, and taught to write by line upon line, a little here and a little there, a little of one thing and a little of another, that the variety of instructions might be pleasing and inviting,—a little at one time and a little at another, that they might not have their memories overcharged,—a little from one prophet and a little from another, that every one might be pleased with his friend and him whom he admired. Note,
For our instruction in the things of God it is requisite that we have precept upon precept and line upon line, that one precept and line should be followed, and so enforced by another; the precept of justice must be upon the precept of piety, and the precept of charity upon that of justice. Nay, it is necessary that the same precept and the same line should be often repeated and inculcated upon us, that we may the better understand them and the more easily recollect them when we have occasion for them. ..."
[Matthew Henry Commentary; Isaiah 28] -
Commentary on Isaiah 29 by Matthew Henry
God is not the drunkard. God is the one supplying the pure water, the pure milk, and explaining His method of instruction, which is "line upon line", but as it is written, "fools despise wisdom and instruction" (Proverbs 1:7), which is why you continue to carry the egregiously erroneous doctrine that you do GE on the death, burial and resurrection of Jesus, inspite of the plethora of abundance of truth shown you from scripture on it, and thus you have to continually make your own private translation to suite your carnal doctrine.
