Introduction:
Are you a skeptic?
Are you a doubter?
Do you come to this service or this TV program with reservation, thinking that perhaps all this religious fervor is founded an baseless superstition?
Are you pretty sure that you are done with religion, and you would prefer not to identify with any one belief because, who knows which one if any actually have a corner on the truth?
If this describes you, then this message is for you.
In our passage this morning God challenges all those who have not yet fully committed to His to a debate.
You see, contrary to popular opinion, faith and reason are friends, not enemies.
God invites you right now to examine your doubts, your presuppositions, and your beliefs in the light the reason and logic we find in the Bible.
Perhaps if you are brave enough to honestly evaluate your position reason will meet faith.
The Skeptic Is Invited to an Open Discussion
“Come now, and let us reason together, saith the Lord: ...” (, KJV 1900)
Reason = law term used of arguing , convincing, or deciding a case in court.
Real open minded people should not fear examining their presuppositions from an opposing view.
Think through the acts of God.
Think through the truth of the Word of God.

One main message… your scarlet sins can be made clean and white.
Amnesty
The word amnesty comes from the word from which we get amnesia.
It means to forget.
When God washes away our sins, they are forgotten.
We’re left whiter than snow, purer than wool.
The Skeptic is Dared to Discover His Sinful Condition.
“... Though your sins be as scarlet… Though they be red like crimson...” ()
God has seen in secret
eph
The appointed penalty is death.
Useless rituals will not erase the scarlet stain.
Empty prayers will not erase the stain
The Skeptic is Dared to Believe there is Hope!
A Chance for absolute purity
A Chance to replace our sin with Christ's righteousness.

Whiter Than Snow
Evangelist E.
Howard Cadle (1884–1942), was converted from a debauched life through the power of Isaiah 1:18.
He was the black sheep of four children in a Christian family who started drinking at age twelve.
He became addicted to alcohol, gambling, and sexual adultery, becoming known as the “Slot Machine King” in much of the Midwest because of his gambling enterprises.
He attempted to murder a man, only narrowly escaping the penitentiary.
Broken in finances and health, he finally “hit bottom” and returned home and collapsed into his mother’s arms, saying, “Mother I’m tired of sin.
I’ve broken your heart, betrayed my wife, broken my marriage vows—I’d like to be saved, but I’ve sinned too much.”
His mother replied, “Son, I’ve prayed for 12 years to hear you say what you’ve just said.”
Getting out her Bible, she turned to Isaiah 1:18, and on that morning, March 14, 1914, E.
Howard Cadle was converted.
He later became a powerful and popular evangelist and radio preacher.
