Romans 9:12 It was said unto her, The elder shall serve the younger.
This verse refers to Esau as the elder and Jacob as the younger.
Romans 9:13 As it is written, Jacob have I loved, but Esau have I hated.
English “hated” in Romans 9:13 was mistranslated from Greek verb 3404 miseo meaning to detest. The modern definition of the English verb to detest is to hate. The etymology of English detest is from Latin detestari literally meaning to de-testify. Greek verb 3404 miseo was also mistranslated into English “hate” in Luke 14:26 and everyone should instinctively know that Jesus did not say the criteria to be his learner was to hate one’s father and mother and every other human being we have ever known including our own soul but Luke 14:26 indeed says we must de-testify the flesh thoughts and feelings of all human beings including our own soul in order to be a learner of Jesus Christ. God implanted a thought in me that I will superimpose now. “And the great dragon was cast out, that old serpent, called the Devil, and Satan, which deceiveth the whole world: he was cast out into the earth, and his angels were cast out with him”. The entities named in Revelation 12:9 and Revelation 20:2 are all in fact the flesh thoughts and feelings of human beings beginning with Eve who was the first “tree of knowledge of good and evil” who superimposed her thoughts unto Adam. God will prove these assertions in future posts. Please see How God And The Bible Work post.
