Malachi 1:2-3 declares, “‘I have loved you,’” says the LORD. But you ask, ‘How have you loved us?’ ‘Was not Esau Jacob’s brother?’ the LORD says. ‘Yet I have loved Jacob, but Esau I have hated, and I have turned his mountains into a wasteland and left his inheritance to the desert jackals.’”

Malachi 1:3 is quoted in Romans 9:10-13, “Not only that, but Rebekah’s children had one and the same father, our father Isaac. Yet, before the twins were born or had done anything good or bad—in order that God’s purpose in election might stand: not by works but by him who calls—she was told, ‘The older will serve the younger.’ Just as it is written: ‘Jacob I loved, but Esau I hated.’”

Why did God love Jacob and hate Esau? If God is love (1 John 4:cool, how could He hate anyone?
I so love when people put words into God's mouth and people believe it instead of looking around with their own eyes and accepting what they see, because if you did look around you'd see lots of people God is meant to hate, as you put it, being blessed by the ever loving God. A crude example would be God blessing nations that condone homosexuality, while Lord Lord Nigeria is wailing.

God is not a human being, nor would God ask humans to do what God can't bother doing. and as I've stated, love your enemies is a removal of conditions to not love. If you can love your children unconditionally as you likely do and regardless of their sins, and if your parents can love you unconditionally too as they likely do regardless of your sins, then how much more can God love unconditionally?

Do note that love does not preclude punishment. If one sins one will be justly rewarded but one will still be loved like the one sheep out of a hundred that went astray.

What do you understand by Romans 9:15

For he says to Moses, “I will have mercy on whom I have mercy, and I will have compassion on whom I have compassion.”
God will decide whom to have mercy on or whom not have mercy on.

"It does not, therefore, depend on human desire or effort, but on God’s mercy".

You should see how it connects to the [url=https://classic.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Luke+18%3A9-14&version=NLT]Parable of Hubris[/url], which Romans 9:15 is to teach us not to commit.

Kobojunkie:
Where does the Bible teach you that love is unconditional. undecided
Love your enemy is unconditional, or you would expect to get something back in return.

If one sheep goes astray is unconditional, or you'd let the astray sheep meet the condition of its straying.

Turn the other cheek is unconditional, or you will condition a slap gor a slap and not give your shirt to those who take your coat.

As a Christian, the bible teaches that Love is conditional.
God loves man conditionally.
And yet, Oh, when the rain fall, fall, fall now,
It don't fall on one man's housetop.
Remember that:
When the rain fall,
It don't fall on one man's housetop
.

Experience has shown that God loves unconditionally just as we are also taught to unconditionally love our enemies.

The future of crude oil is bleak, as is the future of a nation that depends on it.

Women did not put cctv in Hancock's office and he was obviously the only one benefiting, and if he had kept his cock in his wife where it ought to have rightly belonged he would not have destroyed himself with his own hands!

What women destroy, is more than what they fix. 95% of them destroy destiny and career . Puss power! Only God knows the number of people benefiting from the minister before his career ended.

You "have seen that the Earth would end", or some "we" told you they "have seen that the Earth would end" and you believe they saw, like the theist believes the prophets and then claims adamantly to have seen what they've been told though they merely believe and often lie or can't separate fact from fiction?

You first get rid of "the lifeless dullard from Daura", as you have been democratically empowered to do. You then elect a president who is committed to rebuild Nigeria with youths, as you have democratically been empowered to do.

They are not "blaming youth"!

They are actually recognising the skills and abilities of the youth and are saying it is the youth who have the powers to stop the old men chopping clean mouth, and to make Nigeria the great nation it has the potential to become.

providence338:
If you don't mind me asking...which jab did you take? Why almost 2 months between jabs?

Normally the time lapse between jabs is 3-4 weeks.
No, I don't mind you asking please.

I had the Astra Zeneca jab. The recommended interval between doses is between 4 to 12 weeks, so I was somewhat in the middle.

budaatum:
Had my second Astra Zeneca today, 8 weeks after the first. I went shopping afterwards, as there's a market by my doctors, and I've been cooking since I got back, so I expect to be exhausted.

I have remained fine after the first jab and expect my fineness to continue after this second jab.

Disstroy. Please know that I buda broke the Sunday Rule by thinking angry and insulting thoughts in my head.

I am informing you so you know that buda is a hypocrite, but I promise that buda will try harder all week and I appreciate knowing you will hold me to the task, nay, the challenge you have set. And for my hypocrisy I will endeavour to ensure it applies to every post on every thread on the whole of Nairaland.

So help me God and the watchful Disstroy.

Below is an example of what the equitable Nigerian school system has produced, and I beg you Ben, not to let your children end up like that!

Wherever you may be, go further and seek superior education for your children please!

A CLAIM SAYING MATHS IS RACIST BECAUSE IT REQUIRES ALL STUDENT TO GET THE CORRECT ANSWER
To be honest with you Ben, you are making it hard for me to observe Sunday Rules, and I'm even beginning to doubt I could possibly stick to Disstroy's all week rule!

The above shows you have not bothered to read the book because what you claim is very clearly not written in it nor is it even inferred, and anyone who implies that what you are claiming is what is in the book, is either being evil or is just plain ignorant and I can't honestly decide which is worse.

Do know that what is written in the book does apply to all teachings, and that biases in the education system does a lot of damage to those being 'taught', and while a government should rightly ensure equity in a school system, a parent must go much further and seek superior education for their offspring. That is the reason some chose to pay their child's school fees instead of sending their children to free state schools. It's to get superior education for their child, and not equity education that government schools provide!
Education › Re: How The Universe Ends by budaatum:
The mere fact that you believe or think or even consider that the universe would end makes you a theist, because theism is the only place you can get the idea of the universe ending from!

A scientific thinking person would reason that though it is claimed that the universe came into being out of nothing billions of years in the past, it is mere speculation, the same as "God said", and such scientific reasoning would make scientific minded people hesitate at theistically predicting the future that might be billion of years away or even never. They'd at least reason that all that is before us and which constitutes the universe, as in the stars and the planets and the sun in our galaxy, and all the other stars and the planets and the suns in the other numerous uncountable galaxies, ​can not possibly just come to some sort of end!

You bloody theist!

I am asking you to tell me how blacks in the same maths class as white get different lectures and marking scheme whites get.

You make a claim I asked you to prove and you resort to your usual excuse. I won't hold my breath for this one.
I should not expect you to understand. You are fortunate to not have children growing up in a society where they are a minority or they would have come home to inform you how they can be discouraged from simply asking questions in class or how the teachers might answer questions from white kids and not from them, or how they are written off just because of the colour of their skin.

Math equity given to your kids because they are not performing well?
You clearly do not understand what you are reading!

I am buda! I did not seek equity for my child in maths and all other subjects my children studied! I sought superiority in maths for my children instead by teaching them myself from when they were in the womb and by ensuring they practise and study maths and their other subjects more than any other person's children as soon as they were born because I know the importance of maths to my childrens education and their future!

You be there settling to be equal to others if you wish! Some are pushing for much better. But schools must at least be fair regardless of race, gender, ethnic origin, wealth, religion, etc etc!

This people are saying blacks are too dumbed to perform well on maths .......
Why do you do this Ben? Do you lie intentionally or don't you understand what you read?

Those people never said "blacks are too dumb to perform well on maths", because if they had said that, they could not possibly blame other sources now could they. And they nor I never said blacks are too dumb to perform well in maths, a subject I myself taught in a Nigerian school in which my students got the same 'A' that I got!

budaatum:
Funny thing is that the issues raised in what you posted apply in Nigeria, though not mainly due to race per se but due to our underlying ideologies and beliefs.

An example is a person I am discussing with who believes a science textbook, Physics to be precise, should be believed, when the entire purpose of any science is to teach sceptism and to use your own senses to ask and knock and seek. In justifying his beliefs he distorts facts.

If a teacher has racial or religious or any other biased underpinning beliefs, those beliefs would seep into all areas of their teachings and distort the truth, and a teacher who wants to teach well would start by teaching themselves not to be biased, which is what is taught by what you posted, Ben, as you'd find if you read it.

I don't prove anything to you Ben, because I trust you to trust your own eyes and look to see for yourself, but if you don't see what I see, which often happens on here since you look from the Right and I from the Left, then so might it be.

That said, you made claims about the book you posted, so you just show how it agrees with your claims so we see where you are coming from with it.

Go read the book Ben, instead of asking me to read it to you. You may post bits that say what you claim and we will explain to you what you misunderstand.

A person on here said a Physics textbook must be believed, and nothing can convince that person that Physics is to be understood and that science itself is the art of opening eyes so one may "ask and knock and seek with all one's heart and soul and mind and being".

That goes to show how badly our education is damaged and makes some stupid, but that will change when we reform our education syllabus, I assure you. We just need to seek understanding to know that we must change how we teach.
