Buckle up guys; Timestamps: 0:00 Introduction 1:12 A brief overview of Romans 9 6:43 Jacob & Esau represent nations, not individuals 9:19 Hate just means less love 13:18 God actually loved Esau and his descendants 19:15 A recap of the context of Romans 9 in light of the previous explanations 20:23 Now does God show mercy only to some individuals? No. (Case study: Pharaoh & the Egyptians)
20 But God said unto him, Thou fool, this night thy soul shall be required of thee: then whose shall those things be, which thou hast provided? 17 “Humble thyself greatly: for the vengeance of the ungodly is fire and worms.”
So in short God will still use your hard headedness to display his greatness through miracles so that the people of the earth may know him and turn to him. I love this.
Malachi 1 King James Version 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, 3 And I hated Esau, and laid his mountains and his heritage waste for the dragons of the wilderness. 4 Whereas Edom saith, We are impoverished, but we will return and build the desolate places; thus saith the Lord of hosts, They shall build, but I will throw down; and they shall call them, The border of wickedness, and, The people against whom the Lord hath indignation for ever.
Deuteronomy 23:7: But you are not to detest an Edomi, because he is your brother, and you are not to detest an Egyption, because you lived as a foreigner in his land.
Yes, but that not the point, the point is Esau detest us, thats whats up... The whole scenario is symbolized by Abel vs CAin... Esau is Cain.... , God never harted Cain, cain jus made a bad choice, he chose the devil,
I was troubled by ‘ Esau I hated’. Thank God for clearing that up . Moreover, this is the first time I am noticing that God helped nations other that Israel in d Bible in defeating its enemies. Opened my eyes😮
me also on this point....however im still troubled why God asked for the destruction of women children and livestock of the idol worshippers. I came across Ezekiel 9:6-7, where God orders the slaughter of men, women and children, as a somewhat new Christian I was obviously disgusted and horrified by the verse, but can my fellow brothers and sisters Christians explain this verse for me
@@lexzenis2544 they were not human. If you read the historian Josephus, you will see that those days were really horrible days to live in. Giants, half humans and corrupted stocks. It is from the beginning a war against God and his creation.
@@lexzenis2544 my explanation is : God is Love and God is just. God destroyed d whole nation of Sodom. Because it was beyond evil. But nobody (esp Muslims ) seems to be questioning that. In these nations also, nobody is innocent . I know it is hard to believe. But we can see examples today where even children r doing evil. Moreover, God is acting God by being Judge and giving just punishment . He warns Israel that if they do any of these evil, d land will throw u out, as it did to the previous ppl.
@@Damtan01 also the protection that was offered was salvation to all who obeyed the cover of [his] blood. It was almost like a sign that was made from God, but exercised by Lucifer, after all that would have been the deity of Egypt.

I appreciate the caller because he actually listens and is interested. I’m learning more, too. Thank you so much Sam. May God abundantly bless & guide you 😇
Awesome! Please do more like this. Open the Bible and show the deeper meaning through context. You, Sam, teach with clarity, insight, and yet concision. And you don’t make that mistake of breaking context. May God continue to work through you and your ministry.
The depth of Sam’s explanations is greatly appreciated. As my faith grows and as I continue to read the Bible, I realize more and more how the deep the Bible is and how every word is carefully considered. Thanks for your explanations and videos!

In conclusion, Paul's argument in Romans 9 must be viewed in the context of his broader theological discussion, culminating in Romans 11. While Romans 9 highlights God's sovereign right to show mercy and harden hearts, it is Romans 11:32 that clarifies God's intention: to extend mercy to all humanity. The example of Pharaoh demonstrates that God's actions, even when involving judgment, are ultimately aimed at revealing His power and leading people to recognize Him as Lord. Therefore, God's mercy is not limited to a select few but is available to all, reflecting His desire for all people to come to the knowledge of Him and be saved. This interpretation aligns with the inclusive nature of God's grace and the overarching biblical theme of His redemptive plan for all creation.
Pharaoh was an individual elected for destruction. Sam is tap dancing. “Not all Israel is Israel” is a reference to individuals not redeemed although they are a part of natural Israel.
@@martelljhixson The phrase “Not all Israel is Israel” comes from Paul's writings and emphasizes the distinction between natural descent from Abraham and being part of the true, spiritual Israel, which is defined by faith in Jesus Christ rather than just physical lineage. Paul explains that true membership in God's people is not determined by physical descent but by being part of the promise given to Abraham, which is fulfilled in Jesus Christ. This implies that being part of Israel (God's chosen people) is more about spiritual identity and faith than about ethnicity or genealogy. The example of Pharaoh shows that God’s will and purpose are paramount, and He has the right to use individuals for His greater plan. This serves to highlight the broader concept of divine sovereignty over salvation and judgment. The idea that "Not all Israel is Israel" further underlines that God’s true people are defined by faith and promise rather than by ethnic or physical heritage. This aligns with the New Testament teaching that salvation through Christ is open to all, Jew and Gentile alike, who have faith. In summary, these concepts emphasize that God's plans and purposes transcend human understanding and expectations. Divine sovereignty means God has ultimate authority over all creation, including human destinies. Additionally, being part of God's people (true Israel) is defined by faith and adherence to God's promise rather than mere physical descent. These teachings encourage believers to trust in God’s plan and to recognize that true membership in God's family is through faith in Jesus Christ.
@@Baqheera you’re ignoring the clear ramifications of the statement and it’s impact of the point Paul made in Romans 9. God’s Sovereign plan extend to the salvation of individuals. Read Romans 9 again. It’s clear that God had destined individuals to salvation and some for destruction.
@@martelljhixson While I understand your perspective on Romans 9, it's essential to interpret this chapter in the context of the entire section, Romans 9-11, where Paul discusses God's sovereign plan for both Jews and Gentiles. Romans 9 does indeed highlight God's sovereignty and the example of Pharaoh illustrates God's right to show mercy or harden hearts according to His purpose. However, this isn't the whole picture. Romans 11:32 provides crucial insight, stating, "For God has bound everyone over to disobedience so that he may have mercy on them all." This verse suggests that God's ultimate intention is to extend mercy to all humanity, not just a select few. Moreover, the notion that "Not all Israel is Israel" underscores the distinction between natural descent and spiritual membership in God's people. This supports the view that God's people are defined by faith in Christ, not merely by ethnic or physical lineage. Paul's argument culminates in the inclusive message of God's redemptive plan, which is available to both Jews and Gentiles who believe. In summary, while Romans 9 addresses God's sovereign choices, it is Romans 11 that clarifies His overarching desire for all to receive His mercy. God's actions, even when involving judgment, are ultimately aimed at revealing His power and leading people to recognize Him as Lord, thereby extending His grace to all who have faith.
Obadiah he said he will get rid of all them Obadiah 1:18 NIV [18] Jacob will be a fire and Joseph a flame; Esau will be stubble, and they will set him on fire and destroy him. There will be no survivors from Esau.” The Lord has spoken.
Agreed. The scriptures are clear. When YAH says: “Esau I hated”, I believe He meant it. He knows the end from the beginning, so any argument that He actually loved Esau until Edom did something present deeper theological issues-was YAH being reactive?
That prophecy from Obadiah didnt say God hated Esau in its context..The entire Chapter 1 spoke of Esau's horrible behaviour in permitting foreigners to kill Israel & take them captive whilst they looked on & all but laughed...God declared that Judgment upon them & judgement is judgment same way hed declared Judgment on Israel at times when they did wrong worshiping false gods (fallen angels,Satan), though God clearly stated he loved Israel & even has a peculiar special covenant wiIl Israel the Judgment & hating or loving r two separate issues
@@imperialkingdom4821 I let the scripture speak for itself. Obadiah does not state that YAH hated Esau/Edom (it’s implied if you know scripture). Look at the prophets Malachi’s writings: 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, 3- And I hated Esau, and laid his mountains and his heritage waste for the dragons of the wilderness. 3- Whereas Edom saith, We are impoverished, but we will return and build the desolate places; thus saith the LORD of hosts, They shall build, but I will throw down; and they shall call them, The border of wickedness, and, The people against whom the LORD hath indignation for ever.” (Mal 1:2-4) He has indignation toward them FOREVER. Furthermore, Esau hated his brother (Genesis 27:41) and despised his birthright (Genesis 25:34) and knowingly disobeyed his father (Genesis 28:8-9; 36:2) by mixing with the daughters of Canaan. YAH knew all of this and Esau hated first. The judgment is fitting. Jacob’s seed was judged because of their disobedience, Esau’s seed was not judged because of disobedience because he and his seed was not chosen to be given the law. YAH chasteneths His sons and who He loves (Deu 8:5, 2Sam 7:14, Pro 13:24, 19:18, 23:13). Therefore Esau was not corrected.
Dear brother Sam, may YAHWEH s Shalom guard your heart and mind, through our LORD YESHUA Ha MASHIAKH. I do thank our heavenly FATHER, that HE gifted and raised you, to be a tool in HIS hands. Thank you, for your service to the Ecclesia. Greetings, in brotherly love, in CHRIST JESUS, from Germany. Ruben Lehmann
I never knew this guy is well grounded in the scriptures. I am amazed at how he brings the piece and pieces together to form a whole. May the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ continue to rest on you.
Uhm no! 2 "I have loved you," says the LORD. But you say, "How have you loved us?" "Is not Esau Jacob's brother?" declares the LORD. "Yet I have loved Jacob 3 but Esau I have hated. I have laid waste his hill country and left his heritage to jackals of the desert." 4 If Edom says, "We are shattered but we will rebuild the ruins," the LORD of hosts says, "They may build, but I will tear down, and they will be called 'the wicked country,' and 'the people with whom the LORD is angry forever.'" 5 Your own eyes shall see this, and you shall say, "Great is the LORD beyond the border of Israel!" (Malachi 1:2-5, ESV)
This is an amazing explanation. Thank you for clipping this video. HS is using Sam mightily,. God bless you for for taking time to post these! Jesus is raising up his saints via internet!
First, I am FAR from a Calvinist, but it's very important to read Obadiah 1:10-12 and Ezekiel 25:12-13. In short, Edom stood by and allowed Israel to be plundered. It could also be seen that God loved Esau less as a nation because of what they did and how they mistreated Israel.
Bingo 🎯. I was just about to post a comment referencing the exact same passage from the Prophet Obadiah, and I saw that you had already done so. 👍 I do agree that Esau represents a nation. I agree that when scripture says "Jacob I loved but Esau I hated," does not mean God did not love Esau. I agree that what the text is stressing to us is Gods' plan is to work thru Jacob, and by extension, the nation of Israel. I am a 4 point Calvinist and Sam is disingenuously misrepresenting the Calvinist position. I'm certain it's not difficult to find a few bone headed "Calvinist," who make outlandish statements but to paint ALL Calvinist with the same brush would be like picking a few totally bone headed Catholics (which a blind monkey could do) and saying they represent Sam's position. Not cool Sam. 👎
Romans 9:13 Just as it is written: “I loved Jacob, but Esau I hated.” God's blessings were on Jacob and his descendants. Esau and the Edomites were left to fend for themselves. As did many other nations, Edom ceased to exist.
Sam you are on a whole different level brother I learned a lot from you I never seen anything like it you've got the Holy Spirit moving through you big time.
You are obviously well educated in the scripture. My only issue is that you frequently attribute a malicious intent to those who disagree with you. I disagree with you in many areas, but all I want is to be faithful to God and the scriptures he gave to the apostles, just as you do. I wish you would be more kind to your fellow Christians. I do not believe that Jesus would want us to stand against each other, even if we disagree.
@@hmm6415yeah it's called being Catholic. I know it's popular to hate Catholics, but when you attack your own foundation you have nothing but dogmas left, and no one with the slightest intellectual integrity would take that seriously. I don't see how any honest person can separate Jesus from the Church without destroying the biblical narrative, I mean it turns Jesus into a failure and condemns the Martyrs as heretics.
Thank you Sam for the insight. Being Christian is a lot better than being Calvinist or any other denomination. Even yours I suppose. Praise God and Jesus and the Holy Spirit in whom we have been baptized.
That's a lie. The Assyrian church and the east, the Syriac Catholic church and the Chaldean church are all 3 ethnically assyrian, Catholic churches. I'm among them
I have different theory on the ‘ two nations in the womb ‘ and ‘ Esau being hated ‘. It has to do with Esau being very different physically, he was a ‘ ruddy, earthy man ‘ , he had ‘ red hair ‘, hairy like an animal , and they had to use animal skins to fool Isaac. It goes back before the flood to the Genesis 6 account where the Watcher angels initiated the hybridization of angels and humans to corrupt the bloodline to the Messiah. The whole world, every human person was corrupted in some amount by the time of Noah and the flood. When the sons of Noah were to find wives there were no genetically pure women left on earth and they were to find as pure as possible of wives to repopulate the earth after the flood. All three wives were carriers of some of the corrupted DNA of the Nephilim , the wife of Ham being most prevalent as Ham begat Canaan who was the father of most of the evil giant Canaanite tribes. Even the wife of Shem who turned out to be most pure and would carry the lineage to the Messiah still was carrier of a small recessive gene of the hybrids which down the generations surfaced in the person of Esau. Jacob and Esau were fraternal twins both from the seed of Isaac and two separate eggs of Rebecca. One egg was pure ( Jacob ) and the other was containing DNA of the ‘ seed of the serpent ‘ from the family of Shem’s wife from before the flood. That was why Esau, even though he was first born could not be allowed to be in the lineage to the Messiah. That is why he had to be cheated out of his birthright. Another reason for God to ‘ hate ‘ Esau was as part of that evil blood line he represented the plan to prevent the coming of the Messiah that would save mankind. The bad part of the story is where Isaac was all in favor of putting him in position to ruin the pure bloodline. Jacob and his mother Rebecca orchestrated plans to keep Esau from being the chosen one. A similar situation occurred in the life of Judah, who was also in the lineage to Messiah but he didn’t take the correct path and married a Canaanite woman who was obviously of bad bloodline to be inserting in the Messianic lineage. Judah found a good pure blood wife for his sons but had failed to do so for himself. The Lord had to remove the first two sons before the lineage could be corrupted and would have had to remove the third when he was old enough to marry Tamar, but Tamar was wise to the situation and bypassed the Canaanite son of Judah and arranged to bear a child directly from Judah, thus keeping the lineage pure.

The Edomites stemmed from Esau, Jacobs brother. Romans 9:13 Just as it is written: “I loved Jacob, but Esau I hated.” God's blessings were directed at Jacob and his descendants. Esau went into to desolation as did other nations.
@@jimjuri6490YES! TIL THIS VERY DAY GOD HATES THE EDOMITES BECAUSE NOT ONLY DO THEY SPREAD LIES ABOUT THE BIBLE, GOD'S PEOPLE, GOD'S CHOSEN AND GOD'S CHILDREN, BUT THEY ALSO WAR DIRECTLY AGAINST THE DESCENDANTS OF GOD'S PEOPLE. IN OTHER WORDS; EDOMITES ARE SATANIC.
Agreed. Calvin was against any sort of claim or attention. That's why the only ppl who refer to Reformed believers as "calvinsts" are those who don't understand Reformed theology because Reformed theology is Biblical theology. Further, the biggest advocates and believers of Reformed theology are well versed in the original languages and historical literature. Lastly, Reformed theology isn't based on Romans 9, it's based on the entire Bible. For example, John 6:44, Deuteronomy 10:14-15; Psalm 33:12; Psalm 65:4; Psalm 106:5; Haggai 2:23; Matthew 11:27; Matthew 22:14; Matthew 22:22; Matthew 22:24; Matthew 24:31; Luke 18:7; Romans 8:28-30; Romans 8:33; Romans 11:28; Colossians 3:12; 1 Thessalonians 5:9; Titus 1:1; 1 Peter 1:1-2; 1 Peter 2:8-9; Revelation 17:14; Mark 13:20; John 15:16; Acts 13:48; Acts 18:27; 1 Corinthians 1:27-29; Philippians 1:29; Philippians 2:12-13; Ephesians 1:4; Ephesians 2:10; 1 Thessalonians 1:4-5; 2 Thessalonians 2:13-14; 2 Timothy 1:9; James 2:5; Revelation 13:8; Revelation 17:8.

The word HATE can mean to love less. Luke 14:26 “If anyone comes to me and does not HATE his father and mother and wife and children and brothers and sisters, yes, and even his own life, he cannot be my disciple.
This is what I heard explained by a Messianic Jew, that love/hate was an ancient linguistic idiom used to indicate preference, and in that context didn’t mean “hate” as we use it today. Scripture says Jacob loved Rachel and Leah he hated, but we know he didn’t literally hate the mother of six of his sons: he did prefer Rachel to Leah, and that’s what the scripture is saying.
@@ChristOverAllJeremy : There was no need for a lengthy video when a single sentence uttered by Jesus helps understand what the word 'hate' means. I was just stating a fact. Not finding fault.
@@That_one_introvert. : Yes! Worshipers of Jehovah and Disciples of Jesus cannot hate in an evil sense. They are governed by love. 1 John 4:8 Whoever does not love has not come to know God, because God is love. There is one thing True Christians hate. Psalms 97:10 O you who love Jehovah, hate what is bad.
@@dianetigert1310. I was raised in a Southern Baptist church and never did I encounter any Baptist ideology that declared anything other than the gospel that we are all born into original sin and must come to a second birth/salvation in Christ Jesus for salvation. I’ve never heard of any denominational church “boast their sins saved them.”
@@dianetigert1310 You didn’t specifically reference JWs, Mormons or Catholics - only Baptists. There are few JWs in our area, and even fewer Mormons. I am familiar with many tenets of their ideologies, but not with the point you reference. The Catholics I know personally & have encountered on social media, appear to believe that their infant baptism & membership in their “true church” is their salvation. I cannot agree on either point nor of the esteem/adoration given to Mary, but I have never encountered any of these boast their sins saved them either.
@@annemurphy9339 now you understand why their sins condemn them but not yours......twisting the message to persecute them while blessing yourself is blasphemy.
Hebrews 12:16-17 KJV [16]Lest there be any fornicator, or profane person, as👉 Esau, 👈who for one morsel of meat sold his birthright. [17]For ye know how that afterward, when he would have inherited the blessing, he was 👉rejected:👈 for he found👉 no place of repentance,👈 though he sought it carefully with tears. No repentance for Esau.
Out of context quote. That’s talking about right after he sold his birthright and Jacob took his inheritance and ran away. Instead of repenting for his sins he sought to kill Jacob, but later on his heart softened and he forgave Jacob and possibly repented. Either way it was his choice, but this verse isn’t talking about that. That one verse without its context also doesn’t debunk any of Sam’s points.

Great teaching. Very insightful. Unfortunately, this video could be used as the prime example of how not to talk to another person if your goal is to bring them to a knowledge of the Truth. Instead it’s the epitome of being condescending and patronizing. I had trouble staying on track with what was being taught because I felt so uncomfortable for the guy off camera. Not trying to judge the heart of the guy teaching, just hoping to help other Christians be aware of how they come across towards unbelievers. We often tend to put off an air of arrogance in knowing the right answer, and miss the point of putting on display the loving heart of Christ. Don’t be so impressed with what you know… “for knowledge puffs up, but love builds up.”
This applies. 2 Timothy 3:16-17 16 All scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness: 17 That the man of God may be perfect, thoroughly furnished unto all good works. *** In Jesus ministry to the Jews, the Jews Pharisees despite cornering Jesus with questions, were struggling to extricate themselves from an awkward position. Notice that Spirit of self righteousness hinders correction. This was so dramatically evident in accusing Jesus before Pilate and Herod, and when despite both saying what Jesus has done doesn't merit Death... They only riled up the crowd. Crucify him.

What if God, desiring to show his wrath and to make known his power, has endured with much patience vessels of wrath prepared for destruction, in order to make known the riches of his glory for vessels of mercy, which he has prepared beforehand for glory- even us whom he has called, not from the Jews only but also from the Gentiles?
1. That is not talking about salvation, it's talking about some are kings some slaves ect. 2. God chose those who reject Christ to destruction but God gives them A choice not like a robot
@@johnwipf9499 You think that slaves are prepared beforehand for destruction and kings to receive mercy? All Calvinists agree that people are not robots.
@wesleydahar7797 I think there are wires crossed here. * Those who reject Christ are elected to hell. Not because of God electing them to hell but because they rejected Christ are elected to go there because of the spiritual laws God put in place at the beginning. * The same can be said of those who received Christ Jesus as Savior. They are elected to go to heaven because of receiving Christ, not because they didn't have a choice. Where you get your idea from from what I said I do not know.
Scripture twisting at its finest Obadiah 1 “8Shall I not in that day, saith the LORD, even destroy the wise men out of Edom, and understanding out of the mount of Esau? 9And thy mighty men, O Teman, shall be dismayed, to the end that every one of the mount of Esau may be cut off by slaughter. 10For thy violence against thy brother Jacob shame shall cover thee, and thou shalt be cut off for ever.” "18And the house of Jacob shall be a fire, and the house of Joseph a flame, and the house of Esau for stubble, and they shall kindle in them, and devour them; and there shall not be any remaining of the house of Esau; for the LORD hath spoken it.”
Contextually, God never hated Essau from the onset and to the end as Sam explained. The wiping out of Edom as stated in Obadiah, is a result of the violence they allowed, and perpetrated on Israel (Jacob). Interestingly enough, you skipped verses 11-14, clearly stating what resulted in God's judgment on them. I don't see any scripture twisting here. I think you got it twisted. I hope this helps.
Agreed. Obadiah is clear. It’s doesn’t fit the prevailing Christian doctrine so hate must mean something other than hate, like “less love”. Nevermind that Esau despised his birthright (Gen25:34) and swore to kill his brother Jacob (Gen27:41-42), and took wives of the canaanites knowing father Isaac disapproved (Gen36) as well as the Ishmaelites. I will accept what the scriptures say. YAH hated Esau because Esau hated his brother, hated his birthright, hated his father, and mixed into the nations who would then waste away his brother while he stood by. If there is any person or nation that YAH should hate, it should be Esau/Edom. 2 Esdras 6:9 9 For Esau is the end of the world, and Jacob is the beginning of it that followeth.
@@unbiasedreviews6167 Psalms 68:4 4 Sing unto God, sing praises to his name: extol him that rideth upon the heavens by his name JAH, and rejoice before him. JAH in Strongs Concordance is H3050- pronounced YAH (no J in ancient Hebrew). Deeper question is what cult are you a part of, and what name do you call your god?
Thank you, Sam! This was an awesome, accurate teaching. We need just as much focus (if not more at this moment) on teachers in the body as people are putting on apostles and prophets. I feel we suffer from scriptural ignorance and it's through the gift of teaching the word that will we will grow and discern the truth and be able to righteously judge those gifted in prophesying (as we are told to do in corinthians) Lord, raise up teachers to edify and mature your body! In Jesus' name.
God loves those that always called upon him while in slavery and oppression and devastation and colonization and hates those that colonized and oppressed and dehumaized god's people across earth. It's really not that hard at distinguishing who he loves and who he hates before they even existed.
Obadiah 1:1-16 God says, "For thy violence against thy brother Jacob shame shall cover thee, and thou shalt be cut off for ever". God also says, "For the day of the LORD is near upon all the heathen: as thou hast done, it shall be done unto thee: thy reward shall return upon thine own head. God showed you love an you still did what you did to your brother Jacob. That's the reason. You had plenty of chances to do right ,an you chose otherwise! Good try!. My people repent, follow the law ,an let's get our salvation, which what is promised to us. FOREVER!! Peace an love
Jeremiah 18:8 I am paraphrasing. and if that nation that I have warned repents of evil then I will relent of the evil I had planned. Esau is a nation. You read the Word of the Most High with the pointing of the finger. So is Yah a man that He should lie and if that verse is true then, any nation can repent. You want people to burn be judged, or serve you which sounds a lot like an Islam which is the opposite of the actions of Moses, Abraham, David all the way to Jesus (Yahshua). They stood in the gap for men, prayed and fasted for their enemies and allowed God to be God. Just to prove you do not have the Holy Spirit here’s a question; I have a grandpa was that “black” and a grandpa that was Assyrian. Which percentage of me will be destroyed? Also you can get a DNA test as well and I bet your feelings would be hurt when you realize the European blood in your veins. Your logic is childish and full of pride in my humble opinion. I’ll be waiting for a response from any of the 7 likes regarding which percentage of me will be destroyed.
@@jeshurun0717Also, you shouldn't be seeking to prove people are without the Holy Spirit out of spite as you have done. That behavior doesn't come from God.
@@jeshurun0717 he said that “nation” which means he was talking to a specific people. If you read 8-11 you would see he was talking to Judah. Also how can you repent from sin if you weren’t given the covenant? The laws, statues, and commandments was for a set group of people only. 12 tribes of Israel
@@richspirit1118 I understand who the verse was written f got but, I’m saying the verse goes deeper than for the 12 tribes only. In the book of Jonah the Assyrians which we’re not of the 12 tribes were spared. If you were correct the Assyrians would’ve been destroyed after forty days but, our father is true to His Words and I thank Him for it.
So did the author of Hebrews not know the context of Romans 9? When Esau sought repentance and could not find it, was he talking about a nation or an individual (17. For you know that afterward, when he desired to inherit the blessing, he was rejected, for he found no chance to repent, though he sought it with tears.)? As far as hate goes, did Esau just not favor Jacob when he wanted to kill him? "Now Esau hated Jacob because of the blessing with which his father had blessed him, and Esau said to himself, “The days of mourning for my father are approaching; then I will kill my brother Jacob.”"
Talking about the actual person and the descendants. The descendants want Jacob dead too so they can get the kingdom of heaven ....Esau/Edomites are living in their blessing currently and it's coming to an end
Maybe you haven't read the end of Malachi 1:4 the people against whom the Lord hath indignation for ever. The last time I checked indignation means contemptuous resentment. Indignant/ moved by anger and scorn. Sounds like hatred to me? Isaiah 34:5, Jeremiah 49:7- 22. Why is it so hard to recognize the truth. The word itself says that Edom will be utterly destroyed.
@@drumpogromObadiah 1:18 clarifies why "Because of the violence done to your brother Jacob, shame shall cover you, and you shall be cut off forever." This is not connected to the verse talking about God hating Esau and loving Jacob even before they were born and done good or evil. Obadiah is talking about punishment Edom will face for how they treated Israel.
@@iamtheteapot7405 the evidence shows he’s referring to what Paul is referring . There’s no evidence of any foul play or butchering of the interpretation ,what Sam is teaching is correct in this video.
I'm a Calvinist, I agree with you, but I'm still a Calvinist. This verse had nothing to do with Esau's salvation. There may have been misused of that verse, but not me.
I think that the mechanism of election is what God employs for all callings in general whether those callings be to offices for instrumentality or to salvation. God's sovereign right to "elect" is the point...not necessarily what we are being elected to or for. God is invincibly good. God isn't good just because he does good, God predetermines "goodness" and transcends the legal and moral constraints placed upon creation.
You live in a program and you are a program yourself. The Bible is prophecy, and prophecy is the announcement of the things which are going to pass, literally telling you what’s going to happen. Before Esau and Jacob were born, and neither had done anything good or bad God told Rebecca the older will serve the younger, and that they will come to strife with one another, even before they were born. Look at yourself, you have been aging since you came out of the womb, because you are a biological program. You want to deny your psychological programming ? No problem, study the world outside of scripture, they speak of the same thing. Do the bloodmoons and eclipses happen at random or were they established like clockwork, like a program ? And then animals, aren’t they designed inside out, each according to their own kind and species ? Aren’t they predictable because of it ? Doesn’t it reveal they are programs inside out ? Jesus tells Peter that before the rooster shouts he will have denied him 3 times, not because Jesus foresaw anything, but because he created the whole thing, including what people would say and do. It’s all a program, it’s rigged. People talking about Judas being a devil ? When we read that « the devil entered Judas », or again, reading Isaiah 45:7 God actually says « I am also the devil and there is no one else », or again when you read Job, and the Satan supposedly destroys everything in Jobs life, but then God comes and schools Job about ho life ought to be ; or simply, isn’t God and the devil the same ? Both invisible and eternal ? You see, you people talking out of your arses know nothing, you do not know the scriptures nor do you understand what you claim to believe in. Calvinist ? What’s that sheet ? Just another sectarian type of belief, another corrupted way of distorting the truth, that’s all it is. The truth is before everyone, each and everyday. But you need a mind and consciousness of self to understand the whole picture. God programmed everything since the beginning of time, no one becomes the antichrist nor the Christ by merit, it was simply established that way by God alone, and unless you understand the very truth I’m talking about, then you’re just living a lie and an illusion on top of it.
He looked after Esau and his Mum in the desert. God is able to turn all things for good to those who love Him, while we were yet sinners He died for us, my God is good all day long and He is love, forever and ever AMEN 💕

In conclusion, Paul's argument in Romans 9 must be viewed in the context of his broader theological discussion, culminating in Romans 11. While Romans 9 highlights God's sovereign right to show mercy and harden hearts, it is Romans 11:32 that clarifies God's intention: to extend mercy to all humanity. The example of Pharaoh demonstrates that God's actions, even when involving judgment, are ultimately aimed at revealing His power and leading people to recognize Him as Lord. Therefore, God's mercy is not limited to a select few but is available to all, reflecting His desire for all people to come to the knowledge of Him and be saved. This interpretation aligns with the inclusive nature of God's grace and the overarching biblical theme of His redemptive plan for all creation.
Amen
Pharaoh was an individual elected for destruction. Sam is tap dancing. “Not all Israel is Israel” is a reference to individuals not redeemed although they are a part of natural Israel.
@@martelljhixson The phrase “Not all Israel is Israel” comes from Paul's writings and emphasizes the distinction between natural descent from Abraham and being part of the true, spiritual Israel, which is defined by faith in Jesus Christ rather than just physical lineage. Paul explains that true membership in God's people is not determined by physical descent but by being part of the promise given to Abraham, which is fulfilled in Jesus Christ. This implies that being part of Israel (God's chosen people) is more about spiritual identity and faith than about ethnicity or genealogy.
The example of Pharaoh shows that God’s will and purpose are paramount, and He has the right to use individuals for His greater plan. This serves to highlight the broader concept of divine sovereignty over salvation and judgment.
The idea that "Not all Israel is Israel" further underlines that God’s true people are defined by faith and promise rather than by ethnic or physical heritage. This aligns with the New Testament teaching that salvation through Christ is open to all, Jew and Gentile alike, who have faith.
In summary, these concepts emphasize that God's plans and purposes transcend human understanding and expectations. Divine sovereignty means God has ultimate authority over all creation, including human destinies. Additionally, being part of God's people (true Israel) is defined by faith and adherence to God's promise rather than mere physical descent. These teachings encourage believers to trust in God’s plan and to recognize that true membership in God's family is through faith in Jesus Christ.
@@Baqheera you’re ignoring the clear ramifications of the statement and it’s impact of the point Paul made in Romans 9. God’s Sovereign plan extend to the salvation of individuals. Read Romans 9 again. It’s clear that God had destined individuals to salvation and some for destruction.
@@martelljhixson While I understand your perspective on Romans 9, it's essential to interpret this chapter in the context of the entire section, Romans 9-11, where Paul discusses God's sovereign plan for both Jews and Gentiles.
Romans 9 does indeed highlight God's sovereignty and the example of Pharaoh illustrates God's right to show mercy or harden hearts according to His purpose. However, this isn't the whole picture. Romans 11:32 provides crucial insight, stating, "For God has bound everyone over to disobedience so that he may have mercy on them all." This verse suggests that God's ultimate intention is to extend mercy to all humanity, not just a select few.
Moreover, the notion that "Not all Israel is Israel" underscores the distinction between natural descent and spiritual membership in God's people. This supports the view that God's people are defined by faith in Christ, not merely by ethnic or physical lineage. Paul's argument culminates in the inclusive message of God's redemptive plan, which is available to both Jews and Gentiles who believe.
In summary, while Romans 9 addresses God's sovereign choices, it is Romans 11 that clarifies His overarching desire for all to receive His mercy. God's actions, even when involving judgment, are ultimately aimed at revealing His power and leading people to recognize Him as Lord, thereby extending His grace to all who have faith.
I have to give it up to you Sam😊. This is the best I’ve ever heard from you! Thanks 🙏
Obadiah he said he will get rid of all them
Obadiah 1:18 NIV
[18] Jacob will be a fire and Joseph a flame; Esau will be stubble, and they will set him on fire and destroy him. There will be no survivors from Esau.” The Lord has spoken.
Agreed.
The scriptures are clear. When YAH says: “Esau I hated”, I believe He meant it. He knows the end from the beginning, so any argument that He actually loved Esau until Edom did something present deeper theological issues-was YAH being reactive?
HalleluYah
That prophecy from Obadiah didnt say God hated Esau in its context..The entire Chapter 1 spoke of Esau's horrible behaviour in permitting foreigners to kill Israel & take them captive whilst they looked on & all but laughed...God declared that Judgment upon them & judgement is judgment same way hed declared Judgment on Israel at times when they did wrong worshiping false gods (fallen angels,Satan), though God clearly stated he loved Israel & even has a peculiar special covenant wiIl Israel the Judgment & hating or loving r two separate issues
@@imperialkingdom4821 I let the scripture speak for itself. Obadiah does not state that YAH hated Esau/Edom (it’s implied if you know scripture). Look at the prophets Malachi’s writings:
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,
3- And I hated Esau, and laid his mountains and his heritage waste for the dragons of the wilderness.
3- Whereas Edom saith, We are impoverished, but we will return and build the desolate places; thus saith the LORD of hosts, They shall build, but I will throw down; and they shall call them, The border of wickedness, and, The people against whom the LORD hath indignation for ever.” (Mal 1:2-4)
He has indignation toward them FOREVER. Furthermore, Esau hated his brother (Genesis 27:41) and despised his birthright (Genesis 25:34) and knowingly disobeyed his father (Genesis 28:8-9; 36:2) by mixing with the daughters of Canaan.
YAH knew all of this and Esau hated first. The judgment is fitting. Jacob’s seed was judged because of their disobedience, Esau’s seed was not judged because of disobedience because he and his seed was not chosen to be given the law. YAH chasteneths His sons and who He loves (Deu 8:5, 2Sam 7:14, Pro 13:24, 19:18, 23:13). Therefore Esau was not corrected.
The book that is constantly ignored and shunned.
And we know why.

First, I am FAR from a Calvinist, but it's very important to read Obadiah 1:10-12 and Ezekiel 25:12-13. In short, Edom stood by and allowed Israel to be plundered. It could also be seen that God loved Esau less as a nation because of what they did and how they mistreated Israel.
Bingo 🎯. I was just about to post a comment referencing the exact same passage from the Prophet Obadiah, and I saw that you had already done so. 👍
I do agree that Esau represents a nation. I agree that when scripture says "Jacob I loved but Esau I hated," does not mean God did not love Esau. I agree that what the text is stressing to us is Gods' plan is to work thru Jacob, and by extension, the nation of Israel.
I am a 4 point Calvinist and Sam is disingenuously misrepresenting the Calvinist position. I'm certain it's not difficult to find a few bone headed "Calvinist," who make outlandish statements but to paint ALL Calvinist with the same brush would be like picking a few totally bone headed Catholics (which a blind monkey could do) and saying they represent Sam's position.
Not cool Sam. 👎
Romans 9:13 Just as it is written: “I loved Jacob, but Esau I hated.”
God's blessings were on Jacob and his descendants. Esau and the Edomites were left to fend for themselves. As did many other nations, Edom ceased to exist.
He's lying because he knows he's an Edomites....Edom means red....whatever race of people turn red?
Sam you are on a whole different level brother I learned a lot from you I never seen anything like it you've got the Holy Spirit moving through you big time.
Amazing. I have learned something new today from Gods word. Thats exciting.
Thank you for the insights, I have learned a lot from this study. God bless Bro. Shamounian.
You are obviously well educated in the scripture. My only issue is that you frequently attribute a malicious intent to those who disagree with you. I disagree with you in many areas, but all I want is to be faithful to God and the scriptures he gave to the apostles, just as you do. I wish you would be more kind to your fellow Christians. I do not believe that Jesus would want us to stand against each other, even if we disagree.

I love the way you paused the conversation as soon as he read "two nations are in your womb". Beautiful!
I have different theory on the ‘ two nations in the womb ‘ and ‘ Esau being hated ‘.
It has to do with Esau being very different physically, he was a ‘ ruddy, earthy man ‘ , he had ‘ red hair ‘, hairy like an animal , and they had to use animal skins to fool Isaac.
It goes back before the flood to the Genesis 6 account where the Watcher angels initiated the hybridization of angels and humans to corrupt the bloodline to the Messiah. The whole world, every human person was corrupted in some amount by the time of Noah and the flood. When the sons of Noah were to find wives there were no genetically pure women left on earth and they were to find as pure as possible of wives to repopulate the earth after the flood. All three wives were carriers of some of the corrupted DNA of the Nephilim , the wife of Ham being most prevalent as Ham begat Canaan who was the father of most of the evil giant Canaanite tribes. Even the wife of Shem who turned out to be most pure and would carry the lineage to the Messiah still was carrier of a small recessive gene of the hybrids which down the generations surfaced in the person of Esau.
Jacob and Esau were fraternal twins both from the seed of Isaac and two separate eggs of Rebecca. One egg was pure ( Jacob ) and the other was containing DNA of the ‘ seed of the serpent ‘ from the family of Shem’s wife from before the flood.
That was why Esau, even though he was first born could not be allowed to be in the lineage to the Messiah. That is why he had to be cheated out of his birthright.
Another reason for God to ‘ hate ‘ Esau was as part of that evil blood line he represented the plan to prevent the coming of the Messiah that would save mankind.
The bad part of the story is where Isaac was all in favor of putting him in position to ruin the pure bloodline. Jacob and his mother Rebecca orchestrated plans to keep Esau from being the chosen one.
A similar situation occurred in the life of Judah, who was also in the lineage to Messiah but he didn’t take the correct path and married a Canaanite woman who was obviously of bad bloodline to be inserting in the Messianic lineage. Judah found a good pure blood wife for his sons but had failed to do so for himself. The Lord had to remove the first two sons before the lineage could be corrupted and would have had to remove the third when he was old enough to marry Tamar, but Tamar was wise to the situation and bypassed the Canaanite son of Judah and arranged to bear a child directly from Judah, thus keeping the lineage pure.
@@MichaelWysocki-ks5xtInteresting theory. Speculation can have its place; but we don’t have clear scriptural warrant for this.

I’m a follower of Jesus Christ not John Calvin.
I believe John Calvin himself would say the same thing.
Calvinists are followers of Jesus and not Calvin.
Agreed. Calvin was against any sort of claim or attention. That's why the only ppl who refer to Reformed believers as "calvinsts" are those who don't understand Reformed theology because Reformed theology is Biblical theology. Further, the biggest advocates and believers of Reformed theology are well versed in the original languages and historical literature. Lastly, Reformed theology isn't based on Romans 9, it's based on the entire Bible. For example, John 6:44, Deuteronomy 10:14-15; Psalm 33:12; Psalm 65:4; Psalm 106:5; Haggai 2:23; Matthew 11:27; Matthew 22:14; Matthew 22:22; Matthew 22:24; Matthew 24:31; Luke 18:7; Romans 8:28-30; Romans 8:33; Romans 11:28; Colossians 3:12; 1 Thessalonians 5:9; Titus 1:1; 1 Peter 1:1-2; 1 Peter 2:8-9; Revelation 17:14; Mark 13:20; John 15:16; Acts 13:48; Acts 18:27; 1 Corinthians 1:27-29; Philippians 1:29; Philippians 2:12-13; Ephesians 1:4; Ephesians 2:10; 1 Thessalonians 1:4-5; 2 Thessalonians 2:13-14; 2 Timothy 1:9; James 2:5; Revelation 13:8; Revelation 17:8.

The word HATE can mean to love less.
Luke 14:26 “If anyone comes to me and does not HATE his father and mother and wife and children and brothers and sisters, yes, and even his own life, he cannot be my disciple.
This is what I heard explained by a Messianic Jew, that love/hate was an ancient linguistic idiom used to indicate preference, and in that context didn’t mean “hate” as we use it today. Scripture says Jacob loved Rachel and Leah he hated, but we know he didn’t literally hate the mother of six of his sons: he did prefer Rachel to Leah, and that’s what the scripture is saying.

[17]For ye know how that afterward, when he would have inherited the blessing, he was 👉rejected:👈 for he found👉 no place of repentance,👈 though he sought it carefully with tears.
No repentance for Esau.
Out of context quote. That’s talking about right after he sold his birthright and Jacob took his inheritance and ran away. Instead of repenting for his sins he sought to kill Jacob, but later on his heart softened and he forgave Jacob and possibly repented. Either way it was his choice, but this verse isn’t talking about that. That one verse without its context also doesn’t debunk any of Sam’s points.
Amazingly well done!!

Great teaching. Very insightful. Unfortunately, this video could be used as the prime example of how not to talk to another person if your goal is to bring them to a knowledge of the Truth. Instead it’s the epitome of being condescending and patronizing. I had trouble staying on track with what was being taught because I felt so uncomfortable for the guy off camera. Not trying to judge the heart of the guy teaching, just hoping to help other Christians be aware of how they come across towards unbelievers. We often tend to put off an air of arrogance in knowing the right answer, and miss the point of putting on display the loving heart of Christ. Don’t be so impressed with what you know… “for knowledge puffs up, but love builds up.”
I hear a teacher instructing a student whom is learning. Bless this evangelist.
This applies. 2 Timothy 3:16-17
16 All scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness:
17 That the man of God may be perfect, thoroughly furnished unto all good works.
***
In Jesus ministry to the Jews, the Jews Pharisees despite cornering Jesus with questions, were struggling to extricate themselves from an awkward position. Notice that
Spirit of self righteousness hinders correction. This was so dramatically evident in accusing Jesus before Pilate and Herod, and when despite both saying what Jesus has done doesn't merit Death... They only riled up the crowd.
Crucify him.

Scripture twisting at its finest
Obadiah 1
“8Shall I not in that day, saith the LORD, even destroy the wise men out of Edom, and understanding out of the mount of Esau?
9And thy mighty men, O Teman, shall be dismayed, to the end that every one of the mount of Esau may be cut off by slaughter.
10For thy violence against thy brother Jacob shame shall cover thee, and thou shalt be cut off for ever.”
"18And the house of Jacob shall be a fire, and the house of Joseph a flame, and the house of Esau for stubble, and they shall kindle in them, and devour them; and there shall not be any remaining of the house of Esau; for the LORD hath spoken it.”
Contextually, God never hated Essau from the onset and to the end as Sam explained. The wiping out of Edom as stated in Obadiah, is a result of the violence they allowed, and perpetrated on Israel (Jacob). Interestingly enough, you skipped verses 11-14, clearly stating what resulted in God's judgment on them. I don't see any scripture twisting here. I think you got it twisted. I hope this helps.
Agreed. Obadiah is clear.
It’s doesn’t fit the prevailing Christian doctrine so hate must mean something other than hate, like “less love”.
Nevermind that Esau despised his birthright (Gen25:34) and swore to kill his brother Jacob (Gen27:41-42), and took wives of the canaanites knowing father Isaac disapproved (Gen36) as well as the Ishmaelites.
I will accept what the scriptures say. YAH hated Esau because Esau hated his brother, hated his birthright, hated his father, and mixed into the nations who would then waste away his brother while he stood by. If there is any person or nation that YAH should hate, it should be Esau/Edom.

We need just as much focus (if not more at this moment) on teachers in the body as people are putting on apostles and prophets. I feel we suffer from scriptural ignorance and it's through the gift of teaching the word that will we will grow and discern the truth and be able to righteously judge those gifted in prophesying (as we are told to do in corinthians)
Lord, raise up teachers to edify and mature your body! In Jesus' name.
God loves those that always called upon him while in slavery and oppression and devastation and colonization and hates those that colonized and oppressed and dehumaized god's people across earth. It's really not that hard at distinguishing who he loves and who he hates before they even existed.
You are a really great teacher thank you !

Jeremiah 18:8 I am paraphrasing. and if that nation that I have warned repents of evil then I will relent of the evil I had planned. Esau is a nation. You read the Word of the Most High with the pointing of the finger. So is Yah a man that He should lie and if that verse is true then, any nation can repent. You want people to burn be judged, or serve you which sounds a lot like an Islam which is the opposite of the actions of Moses, Abraham, David all the way to Jesus (Yahshua). They stood in the gap for men, prayed and fasted for their enemies and allowed God to be God. Just to prove you do not have the Holy Spirit here’s a question; I have a grandpa was that “black” and a grandpa that was Assyrian. Which percentage of me will be destroyed? Also you can get a DNA test as well and I bet your feelings would be hurt when you realize the European blood in your veins. Your logic is childish and full of pride in my humble opinion.

God stooped down to the earth and wrote with his finger...how humbling ❤
So did the author of Hebrews not know the context of Romans 9? When Esau sought repentance and could not find it, was he talking about a nation or an individual (17. For you know that afterward, when he desired to inherit the blessing, he was rejected, for he found no chance to repent, though he sought it with tears.)? As far as hate goes, did Esau just not favor Jacob when he wanted to kill him? "Now Esau hated Jacob because of the blessing with which his father had blessed him, and Esau said to himself, “The days of mourning for my father are approaching; then I will kill my brother Jacob.”"
Talking about the actual person and the descendants. The descendants want Jacob dead too so they can get the kingdom of heaven ....Esau/Edomites are living in their blessing currently and it's coming to an end
Correct.
Praise to God who loves all and wants to show mercy to all
Maybe you haven't read the end of Malachi 1:4 the people against whom the Lord hath indignation for ever. The last time I checked indignation means contemptuous resentment. Indignant/ moved by anger and scorn. Sounds like hatred to me? Isaiah 34:5, Jeremiah 49:7- 22. Why is it so hard to recognize the truth. The word itself says that Edom will be utterly destroyed.
Same goes for Obadiah 1:18
This guy doesn’t know what he’s talking about.
@@drumpogromObadiah 1:18 clarifies why "Because of the violence done to your brother Jacob, shame shall cover you, and you shall be cut off forever." This is not connected to the verse talking about God hating Esau and loving Jacob even before they were born and done good or evil. Obadiah is talking about punishment Edom will face for how they treated Israel.
@@vivinvarghese3315 okay so will the house of Esau be destroyed or not?
@@dainagrn7030 rabbis lie, their own sources say they’re edom.
I have never heard anyone explain it like that. Wonderfully biblically put Sam!!
Yet he calls calvinists as bible butchers LOL. The mental gymnastics are unreal
Sam use to be a Calvinist.
Did he butcher the Bible here? Or did he reference the same passages that Paul is referencing in Romans 9?
@@iamtheteapot7405 the evidence shows he’s referring to what Paul is referring . There’s no evidence of any foul play or butchering of the interpretation ,what Sam is teaching is correct in this video.
@@Tony.S479 I agree that's why I am confused by this comment, maybe he will come back and explain what he means.
@@iamtheteapot7405 I know brother I’m just backing you up. Yeah maybe he will
Good Morning
Thank You

Peace and Blessings.

I'm a Calvinist, I agree with you, but I'm still a Calvinist. This verse had nothing to do with Esau's salvation. There may have been misused of that verse, but not me.
I think that the mechanism of election is what God employs for all callings in general whether those callings be to offices for instrumentality or to salvation.
God's sovereign right to "elect" is the point...not necessarily what we are being elected to or for. God is invincibly good. God isn't good just because he does good, God predetermines "goodness" and transcends the legal and moral constraints placed upon creation.
Judas was a devil
@@lucaswilhelmmeyer6943 Judas was a man who rejected Christ and was used by the devil.
You live in a program and you are a program yourself. The Bible is prophecy, and prophecy is the announcement of the things which are going to pass, literally telling you what’s going to happen.
Before Esau and Jacob were born, and neither had done anything good or bad God told Rebecca the older will serve the younger, and that they will come to strife with one another, even before they were born.
Look at yourself, you have been aging since you came out of the womb, because you are a biological program. You want to deny your psychological programming ? No problem, study the world outside of scripture, they speak of the same thing. Do the bloodmoons and eclipses happen at random or were they established like clockwork, like a program ?
And then animals, aren’t they designed inside out, each according to their own kind and species ? Aren’t they predictable because of it ? Doesn’t it reveal they are programs inside out ?
Jesus tells Peter that before the rooster shouts he will have denied him 3 times, not because Jesus foresaw anything, but because he created the whole thing, including what people would say and do.
It’s all a program, it’s rigged.
People talking about Judas being a devil ? When we read that « the devil entered Judas », or again, reading Isaiah 45:7 God actually says « I am also the devil and there is no one else », or again when you read Job, and the Satan supposedly destroys everything in Jobs life, but then God comes and schools Job about ho life ought to be ; or simply, isn’t God and the devil the same ? Both invisible and eternal ?
You see, you people talking out of your arses know nothing, you do not know the scriptures nor do you understand what you claim to believe in. Calvinist ? What’s that sheet ? Just another sectarian type of belief, another corrupted way of distorting the truth, that’s all it is. The truth is before everyone, each and everyday. But you need a mind and consciousness of self to understand the whole picture.
God programmed everything since the beginning of time, no one becomes the antichrist nor the Christ by merit, it was simply established that way by God alone, and unless you understand the very truth I’m talking about, then you’re just living a lie and an illusion on top of it.
😂😂😂 themouas 😂😂😂
He looked after Esau and his Mum in the desert. God is able to turn all things for good to those who love Him, while we were yet sinners He died for us, my God is good all day long and He is love, forever and ever AMEN 💕
You're confusing Esau with Ishmael.
Esau sought repentance with tears yet found no place. Smh.
God bless you Sam.
God bless you 🙏 indeed...
Love from Nigeria 🇳🇬
Thank you Sam for explaining the scriptures so well i struggled with understanding them all my life .God bless 🙏 you
Malachi 1
King James Version
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,
3 And I hated Esau, and laid his mountains and his heritage waste for the dragons of the wilderness.
4 Whereas Edom saith, We are impoverished, but we will return and build the desolate places; thus saith the Lord of hosts, They shall build, but I will throw down; and they shall call them, The border of wickedness, and, The people against whom the Lord hath indignation for ever.
Thank you so much I’m learning more than ever.
So well explained and clarified. Thank you Sam😊
Holy I am blown away. All glory to God.
This has been an awesome teaching, thank you!
Sam, you're the Boss. Your knowledge and understanding of the scriptures is amazing.

Thank you so much for being a vessel of God. I was a Calvanist for many years. You have helped me let go of alot of Unsound Doctrine
You were never a Calvinist.
2 "I have loved you," says the LORD. But you say, "How have you loved us?" "Is not Esau Jacob's brother?" declares the LORD. "Yet I have loved Jacob 3 but Esau I have hated. I have laid waste his hill country and left his heritage to jackals of the desert." 4 If Edom says, "We are shattered but we will rebuild the ruins," the LORD of hosts says, "They may build, but I will tear down, and they will be called 'the wicked country,' and 'the people with whom the LORD is angry forever.'" 5 Your own eyes shall see this, and you shall say, "Great is the LORD beyond the border of Israel!" (Malachi 1:2-5, ESV)
God keeps His word to Abraham and Jacob while dealing with the individuals and ultimately fulfilling His plans.
Thank you- I always felt that the passage in Romans wasn’t quite interpreted correctly and it is so good to have a proper understanding of it!!!!

8 The LORD is gracious and compassionate, slow to anger and abounding in loving devotion. 9 The LORD is good to all; His compassion rests on all He has made. 10 All You have made will give You thanks, O LORD, and Your saints will bless You.…
Love this . Study to show thy selves approved
Sam I learn a lot with you brother but please be kind to those that don't know that God allows for you to minister to them the truth of God word...love ya brother
WOW this answered so many questions but most of all to understand the Lord you MUST read ALL of the word and the Lord is faithful to reveal all truth through his inspiration of the word.

Thanks for answering the question I been looking for as I pray and wondering about it. Because the videos and people I came accoss took that word to heart about hate
Hebrews 12:17 For ye know how that afterward, when he would have inherited the blessing, he was rejected: for he found no place of repentance, though he sought it carefully with tears.
It's videos like this that make me wish we could give more than one thumb's up!
🌹Great teaching! Thank you.🌹
Think again!
2 "I have loved you," says the LORD. But you say, "How have you loved us?" "Is not Esau Jacob's brother?" declares the LORD. "Yet I have loved Jacob 3 but Esau I have hated. I have laid waste his hill country and left his heritage to jackals of the desert." 4 If Edom says, "We are shattered but we will rebuild the ruins," the LORD of hosts says, "They may build, but I will tear down, and they will be called 'the wicked country,' and 'the people with whom the LORD is angry forever.'" 5 Your own eyes shall see this, and you shall say, "Great is the LORD beyond the border of Israel!" (Malachi 1:2-5, ESV)
Thanks for the insight. It made me immediately think of Cain and Abel and favoring the second born son who was a shepherd.
