It was because he despised his spiritual inheritance when he gave his birthright to Jacob. He should have been the father of Israel. On the other hand, Jacob used trickery, lies, manipulation just to get the same heritage. He esteemed God higher than his twin did. |

Muafrika2:Bible u won't read, short Op like that, u won't read... Was it in the womb he despised his spiritual inheritance?? God already said he hated Esau before they were born.. It's like god smokes some supernatural weed because some of his decisions are just awkward.. 7 Likes 1 Share |

1960TECH:Share the reference, because Romans was written over a thousand years after. But, if you insist, don't you think God would know Him way before he was conceived? 1 Like |

1960TECH: The Esau Jacob story is one of the most painful one from Gods perspective, as it remedies a situation which happened BTW Cain and Abel. It was a symbolic battle btw the physical firstborn with the original sin and the second born with less sin. It was purely symbolic acting as a sacrifice to purify the lineage of the first son and prepare the messaic line through which Jesus Christ came from. 2 Likes |

Op, don't expect genuine response from christians. They have nothing worthwhile to say. They will avoid the thread at worse. They are like mtn customer agents. They always fail to render solution, instead go about ranting irrelevant stuff you never asked of. 3 Likes 1 Share |

1960TECH: When studying the Bible, it is critically important to always study the context of a particular Bible verse or passage. In this instance, the apostle Paul was using the name “Esau” to refer to the Edomites, who were the descendants of Esau. Isaac and Rebekah had two sons, Esau and Jacob. God chose Jacob (whom He later renamed “Israel”) to be the father of His chosen people, the Israelites. God rejected Esau (who was also called “Edom”) and did not choose him to be the father of His chosen people. Esau and his descendants, the Edomites, were in many ways blessed by God ( Genesis 33:9 ; Genesis chapter 36). So, considering the context, God loving Jacob and hating Esau has nothing to do with the human emotions of love and hate. It has everything to do with God choosing one man and his descendants and rejecting another man and his descendants. God chose Abraham out of all the men in the world. The Bible very well could say, “Abraham I loved, and every other man I hated.” God chose Abraham’s son Isaac instead of Abraham’s son Ishmael. The Bible very well could say, “Isaac I loved, and Ishmael I hated.” Romans chapter 9 makes it abundantly clear that loving Jacob and hating Esau was entirely related to which of them God chose. Hundreds of years after Jacob and Esau had died, the Israelites and Edomites became bittery enemies. The Edomites often aided Israel’s enemies in attacks on Israel. Esau’s descendants brought God’s curse upon themselves. Genesis 27:29 tells Israel, “May nations serve you and peoples bow down to you. Be lord over your brothers, and may the sons of your mother bow down to you. May those who curse you be cursed and those who bless you be blessed.” 2 Likes |

otemanuduno: Brother There is no need argueing with you Yahweh is not a thief and He never taught anyone how to steal Even Laban himself deceived Jacob (Genesis 31:7) I wont argue with you because the devil has successfully decieved you to believe that Yahweh is satan Visit joyofsatan.org and you will know who satan is |

1960TECH: The story of Esau and Jacob remains one of the biggest traumas of my growing up years I literally hurt, physically and emotionally, trying to wrap my head around the story Not a good story at all, for me...I also do not like the story of Mary and Martha....I was rooting for Martha, and Mary buttered up the master and took all the praise! ...I still dont get it I digress now, but I think I need to read the Bible again, as a full and total adult...I wanna see if I would get those now, to know whether the terror (eg from Revelations), the joy, the pain, the injustice, the hope, the love and every feeling I got from reading it still hold true I actually have to read the Bible again...asap #resolve#to-do I really wish it would leave me feeling good...my young mind felt many stories there were unjust...wanna see how I would feel about them now 1 Like |
