Thanks. Yeah but, Esau (in the FIRST Earth age) was uninterested in his heritage. In the second Earth age (present) he sold his inheritance for soup. God KNEW his way.
I'm not saying salvation isn't open to EVERYONE (including Satan). I'm saying they CHOSE their course. People who choose without knowing have the millennium to figure it out. People who CHOSE before (Satan, Esau, et al) are (unknown reason) destined for SEGREGATION (at least, I don't know what "blotting out" means specifically except for OUR perception of it...no MEMORY of them).
Hence the kenites, the tares, the bad figs...I might be one...I'm repenting (ORDEAL) though.
Jacob got screwed...But leah bore MOST of Israel's (Jabob's) tribe. So THAT makes me think that just because I don't LIKE something doesn't mean it's not for the BEST!
Jacob was CHOSEN (most aren't) so he got the breaks.
Esau cried to Isaac (dad), NOT to God. WRONG move, after CHOSING to squander his inheritance (first born).
It's simple, but also sophisticated, that's what makes if BEAUTIFUL to me. BEYOND me. BETTER than me.
I'm thinking I LOVE you. First friend (maybe?) I've had SINCE I repented! I feel like I just encountered someone, for the FIRST time, in a forest, I've been wandering in. that looks friendly to me.

I'm never one to turn down friends. ☺ Just don't let your emotions carry you down the river and confuse the relief of peace you feel with something magical about me. I'm just a regular joe (jane?). It's just I remember how that confusion feels. I even still feel that myself from time to time, God knows I stumble constantly. 😒 I'm happy I was able to be a blessing for you in some way, that's a blessing to me as well! 😁

I'm not. I'm just THANKFUL that I'm getting to exchange ideas with someone like you. OKAY? I'm not a wacko sort. Just a lost soul...who has, until now, NOT found a person who doesn't think I'm a wacko for this thing I've undertaken (salvation)...and doesn't want to USE me to "help" (GIVE ME MONEY) others.
You are a BRIGHT light in my opinion. Stumbliing is NOT an issue.
I think God may be about to BLAST you with a blessing (let me know when it happens). He probably shoved you into my path.
You know it's ALL God, not us. WE just want what HE wants right? You know that. Remember if you get hit by a bus, that God just REWARDED you with a lighter sentence, I cannot imagine a reason why God would want to hurt you at this point despite your failings. Though, Who knows?
Anyway, MUCH love to you. God's will to you. You have been helpful. If God doesn't hate me, then you're probably not going to get punished for this. I'm REALLY trying. It's my ONLY hope now (in mortal life). Hope to see you on the other side (the good side of the gulf). I'm not sure that I'm worthy, but if not, I'm FINE with working it out in the millennium rule (1000 years) after Christ's return. I just hope I'm not stuck with dealing with the REALY evil sorts for 1000 years!
Anyway,,, much love tio you, and THANKS again!
