"Then Jacob offered sacrifice upon the mount, and called his brethren to eat bread: and they did eat bread, and tarried all night in the mount."

Genesis 31:54

And Iacob said, O God of my father Abraham, and God of my father Isaac, the LORD which saidst vnto me, Returne vnto thy countrey, and to thy kinred, and I will deale well with thee:

I am not worthy of the least of all the mercies, and of all the trueth, which thou hast shewed vnto thy seruant: for with my staffe I passed ouer this Iordan, and now I am become two bands.

Genesis 32:9-10

Re: My introduction (belated)

I would think self-sacrificing love and devotion to Him and His Glory would be that value. Teach, for I wish to learn, Reverend.

How did Jacob demonstrate self-sacrificing love and devotion?

It sounds to me like you haven't read what you say you've read, Carlos.

What characteristic does God value most of all?

Excellent advice.

Karl The Christian might be a better name to be known as.

Might I suggest attaching your RFAC (Request For Admission Consideration) to a pallet or two of single malt so it doe not get accidentally thrown out as junk mail.

Re: My introduction (belated)

Welcome, Carlos. Glad to have you with us. I'm happy to hear that you escaped sure damnation by leaving the Catholic church.

Have you considered changing your name to be in line with white American culture? Even Jesus changed his name to fit into our society, so why don't you start going by Carl? That way people wouldn't automatically assume that you're a lazy bum who's just here on a lark from south of the border to collect welfare and vote for Obama.

What kind of banker are you? Do you make more than several million dollars a year? If so, have you considered applying for the Landover Baptist Church VIP admission program? That would move you right to the front of the line, which is a big deal, given that there is currently a two year wait list for LBC membership. You should speak with a Landover pastor to see if you qualify.

Re: My introduction (belated)

Because God saw Jacob as the father of the Israelites and therefore Chosen. Esau was not chosen as he was the seen as the father of the Edomites.

So?

God chose one over the other, did He not? Are you suggesting He hated Esau because He had chosen Jacob to lie to and make a fool of their father Isaac, and steal from Esau?

That makes no sense at all. Esau appears to be the one without sin, not Jacob, a conniving, craven little thief and coward who ran away after sinning against Esau repeatedly

So why did God hate Esau, instead of Jacob?

"And we know that all things work together for good to them that love God, to them who are the called according to his purpose." - Romans 8:28

God loved Jacob, but hated Esau. "The older will serve the younger." - Romans 9:11

So you recognize that God is only good to those who follow Him. Very good.

Why do you suppose God hated Esau?
