INTRODUCTION An argument that is older than the languages in which it is presently conversed is that of the tension that exists between the sovereignty of God and the free will of man. This tension is particularly strong when discussing the role that each doctrine plays in the salvation of the human soul as well as the life lived by that soul.

Chungsoo many of the views you shared in your prompt are right on target with my belief and supported by scriptures (i.e. Isaiah 1:1) of the one Isaiah theory that has been the traditionally held theory. What is more heartwarming to me is that you pointed out the fact that we are to rely on the inerrancy of the scriptures which are the bedrock of our faith and belief in the omnipotent God.

Thus, many scholars refer to these writers as evangelists. These evangelists wrote with the intention of sharing a message about Jesus that would lead to their audience becoming disciples or being encouraged to be better disciples.
God with His archetypal knowledge created and inspired the Scripture of the Bible. Glorification of the scripture that God breathed holds the authority in our spiritual walk with God to be valuable in teaching, rebuking, correcting and training of righteousness.
