Esau thrived and that is obvious from the Bible but 2 little verses, taken out of context are used to prove that there are elect and non-elect.

.Are you serious?

“Esau thrived and that is obvious from the Bible but 2 little verses, taken out of context are used to prove that there are elect and non-elect”

David had the same problem thinking prosperity is a sign of God’s favor.

Psa 73:12 Behold, these [are] the ungodly, who prosper in the world; they increase [in] riches.

Psa 73:13 Verily I have cleansed my heart [in] vain, and washed my hands in innocency.

Psa 73:14 For all the day long have I been plagued, and chastened every morning.

Psa 73:15 If I say, I will speak thus; behold, I should offend [against] the generation of thy children.

Psa 73:16 When I thought to know this, it [was] too painful for me;

Psa 73:17 Until I went into the sanctuary of God; [then] understood I their end.

Yes, I’m serious and I’d explain it to you if I thought you really wanted to know.
