Unfortunately for self-righteous people, such as yourself, who actually know nothing about their own scripture, the entire Book of Isaiah was
an attempt (there were 3 writers of "Isaiah", universally accepted by scholars), to tell the people that their suffering was OVER, and their
sin was forgiven.
"Comfort ye, comfort ye my people, saith your God.
Speak ye comfortably to Jerusalem, and cry unto her, that her warfare is accomplished, that her iniquity is pardoned: for she hath received of the Lord's hand double for all her sins.
Whether you read ancient Near Eastern literature in *their* context, or read it in the context of modern Fundy Literalism, your message reflects a unique ignorance, and lack of education.
Jesus knew about people like you.
Luke 18: 10-14.
“Two men went to the Temple to pray. One was a Pharisee, and the other was a despised tax collector. The Pharisee stood by himself and prayed this prayer. [b]I thank you, God, that I am not like other people—cheaters, sinners, adulterers. I’m certainly not like that tax collector! I fast twice a week, and I give you a tenth of my income.’
“But the tax collector stood at a distance and dared not even lift his eyes to heaven as he prayed. Instead, he beat his chest in sorrow, saying, ‘O God, be merciful to me, for I am a sinner.’]I tell you, this sinner, not the Pharisee, returned home justified before God. For those who exalt themselves will be humbled, and those who humble themselves will be exalted.”
Every religion is true one way or another. It is true when understood metaphorically. But when it gets stuck in its own metaphors, interpreting them as facts, then you are in trouble. - Joseph Campbell
