Isaiah 1:18 Come now, and let us reason together, saith the Lord: though your sins be as scarlet, they shall be as white as snow; though they be red like crimson, they shall be as wool.

There will always be those who refuse to be reasonable. For some reason their minds are set and not open to discussing any possibility that intrudes upon their opinion. They have settled some issue in their mind and upon that decision they rest.

When the prosecution rest, it is the defenses turn to present their case. How can one judge rightly if they refuse to hear the opposing witnesses. If you want me to hear your opinion, the least you can do is stick around long enough to hear my case.

Be reasonable. What possible excuse could you use to fail to listen?

Isaiah 1:4 Ah sinful nation, a people laden with iniquity, a seed of evildoers, children that are corrupters: they have forsaken the Lord, they have provoked the Holy One of Israel unto anger, they are gone away backward.

So one argument might be that this quote from Isaiah isn’t talking to you? He is addressing Israel. Granted Isaiah is addressing Israel, but they first came to know the One True God through the faith of Abraham. Abraham is the father of faith for all faith based religions. As such any discussion which is faith based must be inclusive for that makeup and anyone included within those groups.

Acts 13:42 And when the Jews were gone out of the synagogue, the Gentiles besought that these words might be preached to them the next sabbath.

The Jews made room for none Jews to worship God. Christians make room for sinners to enter into worship. These are the religions of inclusions and as such the words given to Isaiah to Israel are adopted into those faith based religions. What was said to Israel is meant for us all to hear and heed.
