Jacob deceived a blind man… but did God love him?

Jacob deceived a blind man… but did God love him?

Did you know that the Bible says this:

“Jacob I have loved, but Esau I have hated” (Romans 9:13)

But… let’s look at the facts.

Jacob took advantage of his brother’s weakness to obtain the birthright: (Genesis 25:29–34)

Then, he deceived his blind father to steal the blessing: (Genesis 27)

Is this justice?

The same Bible condemns such acts:

“Cursed is the one who makes the blind to wander out of the way.” (Deuteronomy 27:18)

And it also says:

“You hate all workers of iniquity.” (Psalm 5:5)

So the question arises:

How can God love a usurper who deceives a blind man?

Can truth contradict itself?

Or…

Did the Roman Empire present a distorted message?

A usurping message… exactly like Jacob’s?

If the system teaches you to respect a usurper… who really wrote this story?

In Genesis 25:29–34, it does not say that Jacob deceived Esau, but rather that Esau sold his birthright to him.

The obvious deception appears later, when Jacob deceives his blind father (Genesis 27).

However, Esau himself interprets both events as the same usurpation in Genesis 27:36, saying:

“Is he not rightly named Jacob? For he has supplanted me these two times: he took away my birthright, and behold, now he has taken away my blessing.” (Jacob means “one who grasps the heel” or “supplanter”)

Is it a coincidence that in Genesis 3:15 the serpent is described as the one who bruises the heel, and that Jacob was born grasping the heel and was called a ‘usurper’?
