In poking around the web and in my commentaries on this passage, I see several disturbing consistencies: People keep avoiding the main issue They reinterpret Isaiah’s commission to say things it doesn’t say They conclude things […] In the New Testament, there are over 300 direct quotes from the Old Testament (depending on how you count the verses). If you count the allusions and possible allusions, the number jumps even higher: According to Blue Letter Bible, if you count the allusions, there are 799, and if you count possible allusions, there are […] As we try and develop our doctrinal views, somewhere along the line we pick up a notion or two.

I get weird stares from people if I ever mention that Disney has an obsession with single-parent households. Look no further than Disney’s animated movies.
