Thank you Joe, that was very well articulated. I appreciate your response.

In regard to the topic at hand, do you believe that the type Esau will ever be forgotten?

Sorry for such a short comment. Running short today.

Grace and Peace,
Jeff

SB,

Yes, that part of our experience that is like an Esau mentality, it will be forgotten because our Lord has promised to forget/remember no more our sin and iniquities. Our Esau worship and service is the old part of our experience that we all pass through its wilderness and it is forgotten in that land.

In the grace of God unto salvation at the resurrection to a spiritual body then in the fullest manifestation God will give us to forget the desires bound up with our service as an Esau. The hopes of our last service as a Jacob will be all that we remember. We have all known Christ after the flesh, like Esau's knowing of his father. But now we know Christ that way no more. Now we know Christ after the promise of God through Jacob as he works in his grace to deliver us from being a supplanter to becoming an overcomer of angels, the wicked one. Our natural man, like Esau, cannot repent. The spirit, like the promise concerning Jacob, is given last that we might repent. The last becomes first and the first becomes last.

Except we repent, continously, we will perish. Esau found no place for repentance, though he sought it (the blessing ) with tears. He blamed Jacob for supplanting him two times. Esau despised the birthright.

That is most interesting! That "pit of the stomach" feeling when something goes wrong or as it is with me, anger seems to start there. "Tied in knots" is descriptive of the feeling.

So, you see the bitterness as being directed at, or happening in, oneself instead of others being bitter because of what is said? The struggle between flesh and spirit causes the bitterness.

I agree. :yes

Our weakness or infirmities (that does not necessarily mean sickness, but it could mean weakness in matters ) is seated in our stomach . We fear or joy and faith from there. When we add the wine of the Word (truth) to our stomach it actually takes care of the infirmity because faith comes in the place of fear:

1Ti 5:23 Be no longer a drinker of water, but use a little wine for thy stomach's sake and thine often infirmities.

Notice not only did Jesus take our diseases........but also our weaknesses (infirmities)

Mat 8:17 that it might be fulfilled which was spoken through Isaiah the prophet, saying: Himself took our infirmities, and bare our diseases.

C...your post comes at a perfect time for me. I am asking Him to take an infirmity from one I love. I thank Him for leading you back to this thread after so much time has gone by...and I thank you.
