It pointed the minds to Christ.<br />The verse simply says that you cannot enter at the *gate* by<br />1. law of moses<br />or<br />2. dead works<br />The verse does not equate 1 and 2.<br />And what is the gate?<br />2 Ne 31:17:<br />"gate by which ye should enter is repentance and baptism by water and ...[baptism] by fire and by the Holy Ghost."<br /><br /><br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6478273273186623663.post-48037574556075830592010-04-27T09:38:37.571-07:002010-04-27T09:38:37.571-07:00Thanks Michelle!

I took Bro. Ludlow's Isaiah class ELEVEN (yikes) years ago, and have been amazed ever since at how much new stuff I get every time I read Isaiah, but also amazed at how much I still don't get. Anyway. I love your book so far, and have tried in various browsers to access the pdf version so I can print it, but without success. It just pulls up a freehostia page, which remains blank. What am I doing wrong?<br />Thank you for sharing your insights. So uplifting!Michellehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16257277238236544458noreply@blogger.com
