comment David's righteousness in the Psalms
Well, the obvious answer is that they aren't all written by David...

comment In what sense would Nathanael have “seen” in John 1:51?
I presume this is referring to "greater things than these"?

comment To whom was Isaiah referring in Isaiah 53?
Put it this way, I think "to whom does Isaiah 53 refer?" and "is Isaiah 53 messianic prophecy?" would be on topic.

comment To whom was Isaiah referring in Isaiah 53?
There are lots of scholars who would argue against the idea that the "common interpretation" is the intended one. I have heard it suggested that the character in Isaiah 53 is Zedekiah, Jeremiah, even (very fancifully) Uzziah. In general, I think your question is approaching being off-topic for a hermeneutics site...

comment What did Isaiah intend with his unusual usage of “create” in Isaiah 45:7?
Put it this way, I wouldn't call that scholarship. But I'm going to leave this answer for now. I'll come back to it when I get hold of some books.

You know, I'm not even going to touch that one.

Three things: I have never heard any modern scholar suggest any controversy over the "three Isaiah" concept or the dating of 40-55; when Genesis was written/codified is actually more in doubt; I'm not saying that Israel was polytheistic, merely that monotheism became, in the exilic and post-exilic era, dominant in Israelite theology in a way that previously it had not been.
