??? "Most people" would have apologized for agreeing with someone's own wish for themselves? That makes no sense.
OTOH, "most people" would have the good sense not to misinterpret Scripture's clear meaning regarding Esau's supposed "many blessings."
And once "most people" are shown that God did not bless Esau, but in fact "hated Esau," "most people" would edit their remarks and redress their misstep and say thank you for correcting their faulty exegesis.
Not all people, obviously.
Some people apparently prefer to reside in error and misunderstanding, even in the face of overwhelming evidence to the contrary.
So if some people actually covet "one verse" of these purported "blessings of Esau," who are we to say they're not welcome to them?
The wicked, through the pride of his countenance, will not seek after God: God is not in all his thoughts." -- Psalm 10:3-4
"The heart wants what the heart wants." -- Woody Allen"For the wicked boasteth of his heart's desire, and blesseth the covetous, whom the LORD abhorreth.
Then wishing it on me is your form of a curse.
Further, as I have explained to you, I did not wish for what Esau got. I wished that MarkBsnr and I could share just one verse of the Bible just about God's blessings for him and me.
So rather than think the better of it and apologize, today you repeat yesterday's curse AND yesterday's misrepresentation of my words.
“Some people apparently prefer to reside in error and misunderstanding, even in the face of overwhelming evidence to the contrary.”
This, sadly, sums up the vast majority in ANY religious sect, denomination, etc. People only know what they’ve been told, accept as Truth what the familiar authorities have told them - it’s far easier than humbly seeking wisdom from God and seeking Truth from His revelation to us in the form of the Bible. It’s what Paul described as milk vs. solid meat.
Thanks for your ping. Great to see some rational sanity on such things.
