Bible Question: IN THE SCRIPTURES, GOD SAID FOR JACOB I LOVED AND ESUA I HATED. HOW COULD A GOD OF LOVE HATE AN INNOCENT BABY? |
Bible Answer: There are basically two ways to approach scripture. 1. I can read into scripture whatever I want to be there. 2. I can receive from scripture whatever is already there. Our motives judge our hearts and depending upon how we study scripture, much can be revealed about ourselves and our relatonship with God. Since God said He loved Jacob, and I believe that to be true, why then when God said He hated Esau would I "not" believe that to be true? Sam Hughey |
