God hated Esau !

[beloved57]

Rom 9:13

13 As it is written, Jacob have I loved, but Esau have I hated.

And even though here esau is an individual I believe hes representative of all individuals outside the purpose of God according to election Vs11. This hatered equates to being rejected of God

Now why did God hate esau ? The scripture doesn't say, but it wasn't because he was a sinner or a depraved person.

I know this because Paul had wrote:

(For the children being not yet born, neither having done any good or evil, that the purpose of God according to election might stand, not of works, but of him that calleth)

So Gods hatred and rejection of esau wasn't for any foreseen evil he would do, in fact the hatred was formed for him before he existed [not yet born]

Gods hatred for him and all outside of gracious election, is simply His own Sovereign will from within Himself.

This article explains:

When studying the Bible, it is critically important to always study the context of a particular Bible verse or passage. In these instances, the prophet Malachi and the apostle Paul are using the name “Esau” to refer to the Edomites, who were the descendants of Esau.

Isaac and Rebekah had two sons, Esau and Jacob. God chose Jacob (whom He later renamed “Israel”) to be the father of His chosen people, the Israelites. God rejected Esau (who was also called “Edom”) and did not choose him to be the father of His chosen people. Esau and his descendants, the Edomites, were in many ways blessed by God (Genesis 33:9; Genesis chapter 36).

So, considering the context, God loving Jacob and hating Esau has nothing to do with the human emotions of love and hate. It has everything to do with God choosing one man and his descendants and rejecting another man and his descendants. God chose Abraham out of all the men in the world. The Bible very well could say, “Abraham I loved, and every other man I hated.” God chose Abraham’s son Isaac instead of Abraham’s son Ishmael.

Try to show us where, in the Bible, you imagine it is said that God hated Esau WHILE ESAU WAS A BABY IN UTERO (let alone hated him at any time before that!) Have fun.

I notice that you crassly travesty Paul's statement about Esau being "not yet born", so as to try to have Paul say, "before [Esau] existed":

....in fact the hatred was formed for him before he existed [not yet born]....

And, that you burned yourself so spectacularly in doing so is exacerbated by the fact that, right there, in Romans 9, in v. 10, we can easily read:

"but when Rebecca also had conceived by one, even by our father Isaac"​

In vv. 10-11, Paul very clearly specifies, by its two termini, a period of time, within which some particular event had occurred: that period between, on the one hand, Esau's conception by Isaac, in Rebecca's womb, and, on the other hand, his being born from her womb. There's not even a shred of a hint, anywhere in Romans 9:10-13, about a time prior to Esau's conception. Much less is there the slightest hint that a "hatred was formed" by God, against Esau, "before [Esau] existed". Surely, you can't really be so stupid as to imagine that Esau did not exist during the time between his conception and his birth, can you??

Further, the particular event I mentioned, which occurred at some point within the period bounded by Esau's conception and his birth, was the event of God's saying unto Rebecca, "The elder shall serve the younger." Were you to actually read the text, you would see that there is not the slightest hint that, either before, or during, the term of Rebecca's pregnancy, it was said, either to Rebecca, or to someone else, "Esau have I hated". There is no mention, whatsoever, of God ever having declared, to Rebecca, "Esau have I hated." God's declaration that "I hated Esau" was part of "the burden of the word of the Lord to Israel by Malachi", in the 5th century, B.C., well over a millennium after Rebecca had died.

Interesting to note, too, that you admit that, according to Paul, in Romans 9:11, Esau wasn't a sinner:

Now why did God hate esau ? The scripture doesn't say, but it wasn't because he was a sinner or a depraved person.

Why don't you, now, give some examples, from the Bible, of persons (if any) whom you would say God did hate BECAUSE he/she "was a sinner or a depraved person"?

You blaspheme God by making Him to hate an in utero baby who is, as you admit, no "sinner or depraved person".

Believe me, it is with great pleasure that I direct this reply to your dung heap of a post. I love to spotlight how you tear your own, anti-Bible heresy to shreds by your own manifest incompetence to even deal with what is actually written in the text of Scripture. I love the fact that I am (and others are) right, and that you are so egregiously wrong!

Amen Brother ! God's hatred and rejection of Esau [non-elect] is contrasted to the Love He had from Everlasting for the World John 3:16 of His Jacobs [His Elect]; a Special, Chosen People Deut. 7:6-8, when He Chose them In Union with Christ; joined together with Him before the foundation of the world , to be Holy and without blame before Him in Love Eph. 1:4.

Mal. 1:1-2

1 The burden of the word of the LORD to Israel by Malachi. 2 I have loved you, saith the LORD. Yet ye say, Wherein hast thou loved us? Was not Esau Jacob's brother? saith the LORD: yet I loved Jacob

God’s determination to save particular sinners, is founded upon the everlasting Covenant of
Redemption established amongst Triune God before the foundation of the world; revealed through SOVEREIGN & UNCONDITIONAL ELECTION of souls in time according to the grace, will, & powers of God alone.

John 17:24; Ephesians 1:4; I Peter 1:20

It’s kind of crazy to think that God would hate someone, isn’t it?

I mean, if you actually take the time to think something through before you just believe it to be true that is. Love doesn’t hate.

But, to think that God hates is to think that God didn’t know what he was doing when he built this place. Like God wouldn’t know there would be stupid people and evil people in this world before he made it?

It’s absolutely senseless. No builder builds without a plan.

People hate people. God doesn’t hate people. But whatever, praise the lord and pass the ammunition.

Reprobation is a biblical truth. It cannot be denied.

All the sons of Adam are born at enmity against God. Human depravity is universal.

Only God's grace and determination to reverse this hatred He receives from mankind, saves some.

It is a wonder He shows mercy to any at all!

 

[betsy123]

Yes.

The term "hate" that is used in the Scriptures, isn't to be confused with the human emotion of hatred.

A lot of non-believers quote-mine Scriptural verses as evidence that the Scriptures is full of contradictions. How can a hating God be a loving God, they point out.

 

[iamaberean]

God knows the end from the beginning.

David said Psa 26:5 I have hated the congregation of evil doers; and will not sit with the wicked.

When we look at the scriptures, we find Esau took women of Canaan, for wives, which was against Issac's instructions. From the children of Esau there came Herod the Great (sic} who tried to kill Jesus while he was still a baby. Many of the scribes and Pharisees at the time of Jesus were also of Esau's linage.

What did Jesus say to the scribes and Pharisees?
Joh 8:44 Ye are of your father the devil, and the lusts of your father ye will do. He was a murderer from the beginning, and abode not in the truth, because there is no truth in him. When he speaketh a lie, he speaketh of his own: for he is a liar, and the father of it.

The women of Canaan were obviously children of Cain and that must be why God hated Esau since God hates evil.

The phrase "to love and to hate" is a Hebrew idiom.

It means "to love more and to love."

You say it doesn't mean that, it means love and hate literally?

God said to honor your parents:

“Honor your father and your mother, that your days may be long upon the land which the Lord your God is giving you. - Exodus 20:12 http://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Exodus20:12&version=NKJV

But Jesus said to hate one's parents, else he cannot be His disciple:

“If anyone comes to Me and does not hate his father and mother, wife and children, brothers and sisters, yes, and his own life also, he cannot be My disciple. - Luke 14:26 http://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Luke14:26&version=NKJV

Did God contradict Himself?

NO!

Jesus used the idiom of love and hate to make a point.

Yes, we are to love and honor our parents, but our love for God should be so much greater that it should be as if we hated our parents in comparison.

So if we take love and hate as an idiom, and not woodenly literally, we can see that God loved both Jacob AND Esau, but God's love for Jacob dwarfed His love for Esau.

So you think God contradicted Himself when he said we should really hate our family if we want to love God, in direct contradiction to God commanding us to honor our parents.

Do you also think that when someone says "let's hit the road," they mean to grab a sledgehammer and start pounding the road with it?

Reprobation is a biblical truth. It cannot be denied.

In a sense....yes. The word "reprobate" which is archaic now, was used in the King James Bible. It is not used by modern versions, the word debased has been substituted. Debased means immoral, or sinful. But as I said....this is not something that God would not have known when he made the world. We know this because all living things exist in populations. We have a population of humans on this planet now in excess of 7 billion people. Based on science and mathematics, we can estimate or confidently establish certain traits. For example, let's take intelligence as measured by IQ. We know that the vast majority of humans fall around the average of 100. Yet, going out past a certain number of standard deviations from that mean, there is a certain percentage of those who have extremely low IQ's and those who have extremely high IQ's. So, in this population of people, there are some really dumb people and some really smart people, and the vast majority of people are somewhere in between. This is something God would obviously have known prior to his decision to create people.

All the sons of Adam are born at enmity against God. Human depravity is universal.

That is not true. There are plenty of moral people who live in the world, and there are plenty of sinners. Even the bible itself states this by calling Abel righteous and Cain wicked.

Jesus himself disagreed with your assertion by plainly stating that there are both righteous and wicked people on the planet. He also called Abel righteous in Matthew 23:35, thus confirming that from one parent, ADAM came both righteous and unrighteous people. Both just and unjust people exist on this planet.

In addition to this, Jesus disagreed with the idea of universal depravity by claiming that children are righteous members of God's kingdom....not unrighteous and depraved. Matthew 18:10.

Only God's grace and determination to reverse this hatred He receives from mankind, saves some.

It is truly amazing that humans exist on this planet. Yet, like all other populations of species that have ever existed, there will come a time when we won't. We can observe that species are born, they live, they thrive, then they die. Our time will come one day, in some form or another, and we ourselves could become extinct.

In any event, I'd like to argue against the notion of people hating God by offering a simple question for you and all readers.

How does one hate what one does not know? Or, how is it possible to hate a person whom you have never met?

There are plenty of moral people who live in the world,

Moral and very sincere religious people are still depraved and work iniquity. Jesus told some very religious and i believe moral and sincere people this in scripture Matt 7:22

[FONT=&quot]22 Many will say to me in that day, Lord, Lord, have we not prophesied in thy name? and in thy name have cast out devils? and in thy name done many wonderful works? [/FONT][FONT=&quot][/FONT][FONT=&quot]23 And then will I profess unto them, I never knew you: depart from me, ye that work iniquity.

Believe it or not, their good morality and sincerity in religion was their main work of iniquity and depravity !

Thats the Mystery of iniquity Paul writes of 2 Thess 2:7

See man by nature cant see how mans morality can be iniquity before God ![/FONT]
