Too funny.

This is why you need the Magisterium; the words are there (well, some of them anyway, given the abridged Bibles that you guys have) but the understanding is not.

Esau giving away his birthright is used as a lesson to all future generations; yet just like David, he is rewarded by God finally. Rewarded, Dr. E. Genesis 36 details the length and breadth of God’s rewards to him.

***But since we know all things work together for the good of those who love Him, even these ridiculous errors are used by God to further declare His glory by the refutation of those errors and a correct preaching of His word.***

That is the purpose of the Church. If there were no heathen, heretic or apostate, we’d have no one to preach the Word to. We thank you for your opposition.

An entire chapter filled with God’s blessings for Esau by name.

Would that you and I could share a verse!

he [Esau] is rewarded by God finally. Rewarded, Dr. E. Genesis 36 details the length and breadth of God's rewards to him.

lolol. God, please do not "reward me" like Esau.

We thank you for your opposition.

Regarding our Scriptural rebuttal to your vacuous preaching of Rome's specious interpretation of the Word, you're welcome, but it will only benefit you insofar as God will turn you from your pagan practices and refocus your mind on Christ alone.

As God wills.
