They are the same. After having control of their respective inheritances, they both SOLD them for things that they wanted. Esau sold his for some yummy soup, and the prodigal son sold his for wine, women, and song. The point is that they both had legal control over their inheritances. We, as believers, do not. They are held for us in trust until the day we enter Heaven. We do not have clear title to sell them away. Could you sell your inheritance as a believer to enter Heaven to ME for say, a million dollars? Of course not. The Godly inheritance concerning salvation is NON-TRANSFERABLE. :)
??? Why don't we have control over our inheritance and whether we lose it? You mean we cannot commit the sins mentioned in 1 Cor 6:9-10 that Paul says can cause us to LOSE our inheritance???

Then why include them in the Bible? Why is the Prodigal Son parable told by Jesus if it doesn’t mean anything.
