You can’t find it?
See, people can come here to learn scripture too. That's why it helps to not go about it half way.
Thanks anyway.

Yep, that's what it means.KISS?
I am married you know
Only joking (it means keep it simple stupid?
For sure it's not a rote or tick box, if so then there is an issue.
I think a get what you are saying.
For me the issue is "I hated"
Why create a human to only hate them?
Is it not hate of what they do and thwrp reject them for what they do?
Did God hate Cain?
He rejected his sacrifice.
Easier is OT, the sacrifice of Jesus in NT.
For God so loved the world. Not hated some.
That's what I'm struggling with.
Genesis 25:29One day, while Jacob was cooking some stew, Esau came in from the field and was famished. 30He said to Jacob, “Let me eat some of that red stew, for I am famished.” (That is why he was also called Edom.31“First sell me your birthright,” Jacob replied.
Edom=Red
Edom.)
אֱדֽוֹם׃ (’ĕ·ḏō·wm)
Noun - proper - masculine singular
Strong's Hebrew 123: The name of a condiment
Verse 30. - And Esau said unto Jacob, Feed me (literally, let me swallow, an expression for eating greedily), I pray thee, with that same red pottage; - literally, of that red, red (sc. pottage), or thing, in his excitement forgetting the name of the dish (Knobel), or indicative of the haste produced by his voracious appetite (Wordsworth, Luther), though the duplication of the term red has been explained as a witty play upon the resemblance of the lentil broth to his own red skin, as thus: "Feed with that red me the red one" (Lange) - for I am faint (vide supra, ver. 29): therefore was his name called Edom - i.e. red. "There is no discrepancy in ascribing his name both to his complexion and the color of the lentil broth. The propriety of a name may surely be marked by different circumstances" (A. G. in Lunge). The Arabians are fond of giving surnames of that kind to famous persons. Cf. Akil-al Murat, which was given to Hodjr, king of the Kendites, owing to his wife saying in a passion, "He is like a camel that devours bushes" (vide Havernick, 'Introduction,' § 18).
True.Adam is the root of Edom.
Let’s keep it going, an important topicI hope this thread doesn't die. It's the only one I feel like posting on.
Let’s keep it going, an important topic
Works started with Cain and continues. It’s satans greatest victory to keep people from truth it feeds their pride and keeps them from truthIt is by far the most important thread in my opinion on this site. I see so many trying to do enough works to "earn salvation" that it makes me anxious. I believe we are led to do "works" after we have been saved and we receive the Holy Spirit but not working in order to save our souls.
Works started with Cain and continues. It’s satans greatest victory to keep people from truth it feeds their pride and keeps them from truth
We are speaking Of works people do to earn salvation not works if sanctificarionworks of Darkness we should avoid and overcome and leave behind daily (Dead Works). works of Light we should do and honour and cultivate in ourselves daily (Live Works).
Acts 24:14-16 But this I confess to you, that according to the Way, which they call a sect, I worship the God of our fathers, believing everything laid down by the Law and written in the Prophets, 15 having a hope in God, which these men themselves accept, that there will be a resurrection of both the just and the unjust. 16 So I always take pains to have a clear conscience toward both God and man.

Works done to earn or keep salvation basically tells God his work is enough, and we still have something we can offer to God as payment for sinWorks will come from those Saved by the Grace of God because a person filled with the Holy Spirit of God will have a deep desire to "work for the Lord." Works to obtain and keep salvation is a sin against God and His work of grace and mercy
Works done to earn or keep salvation basically tells God his work isn't enough, and we still have something we can offer to God as payment for sin
Very sad when we do not get or understand that the payment for sin was paid for on the cross with the precious blood of Jesus.Works done to earn or keep salvation basically tells God his work is enough, and we still have something we can offer to God as payment for sin
