To conclude our survey of the Genesis narrative of Jacob, an important question must be asked. “Why did God choose Jacob, not Esau?” Another way to ask this question is “On what basis did God choose Jacob over Esau?”
Four Arguments Against Romans 9
- Systematic avoidance of Romans 9
- Romans 9 is not talking about individuals but talking about nations.
- Romans 9 is referring to individual election of temporal and material blessing.
- Doctrine of prescience
