Whom Shall He Make To Know Doctrine?

[Mr. M]

Isaiah 28:

9 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.

10 For precept must be upon precept, precept upon precept; line upon line,

line upon line; here a little, and there a little:

11 For with scornful lips and another tongue will he speak to these people.

12 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.

13 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.

 

Paul refers to this teaching in 1 Corinthians 14, that we might

rightly discern the Anointing of the Spirit over our meetings.

Can a clear connection be made?

Milk is for infants...

1 Peter 2:2 As newborn babes, desire the sincere milk of the word, 

that ye may grow thereby:

Mature believers must have sound comprehension of doctrine.

Hebrews 5:

12 For though by this time you ought to be teachers,

you need someone to teach you again the first principles of the

oracles of God; and you have come to need milk and not solid food. 

13 For everyone who partakes only of milk is unskilled in the

word of righteousness, for he is a babe. 

14 But solid food belongs to those who are of full age, that is, 

those who by reason of use have their senses exercised 

to discern both good and evil.

I have tried to find Paul's reference to Isaiah 28:9 in 1 Corinthians 14 with no success. Which verses in Paul are you referring to?

Sorry. This thread is a continuation of an earlier thread.

I provided a link to that at the bottom of the OP.

Thanks for asking, and your patience.

 

21 In the law it is written:

“With men of other tongues and other lips
I will speak to these people;
And yet, for all that, they will not hear Me,”

 

Isaiah 28:

9 “Whom will he teach knowledge?
And whom will he make to understand the message?
Those just weaned from milk?
Those just drawn from the breasts?
10 For precept must be upon precept, precept upon precept,
Line upon line, line upon line,
Here a little, there a little.”

11 For with scornful lips and another tongue
He will speak to this people,
12 To whom He said, “This is the rest with which
You may cause the weary to rest,”
And, “This is the refreshing”;
Yet they would not hear.

And, “This is the refreshing”;
Yet they would not hear.

14 Therefore hear the word of the Lord, you scornful men,
Who rule this people who are in Jerusalem,
15 Because you have said, “We have made a covenant with death,
And with Sheol we are in agreement.
When the overflowing scourge passes through,
It will not come to us,
For we have made lies our refuge,
And under falsehood we have hidden ourselves.”

16 Therefore thus says the Lord God:

“Behold, I lay in Zion a stone for a foundation,
A tried stone, a precious cornerstone, a sure foundation;
Whoever believes will not act hastily.
17 Also I will make justice the measuring line,
And righteousness the plummet;
The hail will sweep away the refuge of lies,
And the waters will overflow the hiding place.
18 Your covenant with death will be annulled,
And your agreement with Sheol will not stand;
When the overflowing scourge passes through,
Then you will be trampled down by it.
19 As often as it goes out it will take you;
For morning by morning it will pass over,
And by day and by night;
It will be a terror just to understand the report.”

In this verse, the translator inserts the words 'must be',

there by suggesting that this method or approach to the

study of scripture is appropriate, and God's intent.

However, we are informed of the outcome three verses later:

This becomes an important criteria to how anyone attempts

to support their understanding of a doctrine, and the determination

that the instruction is from God, or a tradition of men.

John 7:

16 Jesus answered them and said, My doctrine is not Mine, but His who sent Me. 

17 If anyone wills to do His will, he shall know concerning the doctrine,

whether it is from God or whether I speak on My own authority. 

18 He who speaks from himself seeks his own glory;

but he who seeks the glory of the One who sent Him is true,

and no unrighteousness is in Him.
