As it is written, “Jacob I loved, but Esau I hated.”
Romans 9:13 ESV
Love and hate in this context isn’t about feelings, but about favor. God showed favor to Jacob by giving him a covenant and a permanent inheritance. God showed disfavor to Esau by denying him the covenant and by bringing calamity on the land of Edom and eventually taking it away from him. This statement could just as easily be translated “Jacob I favored, and Esau I disfavored.” See Malachi 1:2-3.
Two topics we are taught to avoid in a social setting are politics and religion. The reason to avoid these topics is they are similar in that people hold very strong beliefs about both and will reject anything that does not conform to the way one thinks about either. There are numerous articles about how different they are but there are many similarities. People either love or despise political leaders no matter what nation we live in and people as well either love or hate religious leaders and it doesn’t matter which religion we may be addressing.

My ✨special✨ video is completed, edited and LIVE ????
Here's why it's special: after nearly FOUR years, I'm finally at a place where I can articulate all the things in my faith with accuracy and with a peaceful heart.
I think a lot of my frustration when I left Evangelicalism stemmed from having the MIND of what I believed but not having the WORDS.
I KNEW I was beginning to see how the scriptures were not lining up with everything I was taught or previously believed over the past 30 years but I was having so much difficulty articulating it ALONG WITH having to fight against so much gaslighting at the time.
It was rough.
But now.... Yahweh has given me tremendous grace in giving me the knowledge and information regarding His True Son/Messiah Joshua and helping me see all the things I was merely "beginning" to see but just not "all the way" 3-4 years ago.
Lots of growth. LOTS of grace.
THIS is the video I want all my Christian friends to see. This response video was done because I saw ME in this this sweet lady. I saw ME in her strong Christian heart from years ago.
It's the conversation I WISH I could've had with myself decades ago.

[Rebekah] was told, “The older will serve the younger.” As it is written, “Jacob I loved, but Esau I hated.”
Romans 9:12-13 ESV
This is ultimately about the election of Israel over all other nations, not about the salvation of individual people.
Both Esau and Jacob were children of promise. God prophesied that Esau would serve Jacob, but the birthright was still Esau’s to lose. He gave it up because he despised it, and then Isaac confirmed Esau's choice when he blessed Jacob, even if he believed he was blessing Esau.
Not even God is allowed to break his promises once made, so the blessing of Isaac on Jacob was made even more unbreakable by the three-fold word of God, Esau, and Isaac. The transfer of the blessing from Esau to Jacob required the cooperation of everyone involved: Isaac, Rebekah, Esau, and Jacob.
