You’ve gone beyond Isa 45 to glean meanings. I’m not saying you’re wrong to
do so—it’s just a theological approach and, as such, is pushing the
boundaries of B-Hebrew. There is often a very fine line between discussing
biblical literature and discussing theology (for obvious reasons), so if you
can keep your comments to the meaning of Isa 45, then we can continue
discussion. If, however, you’re seeking to make comments about the nature of
God, then I’m afraid we’ve gone beyond B-Hebrew’s parameters.
