Many delight in controversy. Christians delight in controversies; controversies like Torah observance, sabbath keeping, infant baptism, Roman Catholic heresies, Baptist heresies, wine or no wine, reformed church heresies, eternal security or constant jeopardy, EOC heresies, icons and relics or no icons or relics, purgatory or the power of the blood of Christ. But, but, but....
... who remembers that God, even Christ, will
“proclaim the year of Jehovah's favor, and the day of vengeance of our God; to comfort all that mourn;” Isaiah 61:2
"For it is the day of the LORD'S vengeance, and the year of recompences for the controversy of Zion.” Isaiah 34:8
“To appoint unto them that mourn in Zion, to give unto them beauty for ashes, the oil of joy for mourning, the garment of praise for the spirit of heaviness; that they might be called trees of righteousness, the planting of the LORD, that he might be glorified.”
Isaiah 61:3; Luke 4:18-19
