Those who practice Jacob's sins before his repentance as some kind of faith instead of practising Christianity.

The Lord fulfilled the law and the prophets. The experience of being born again is consistent with the old testament. It is evidenced in the testimony of Abraham, Noah, Moses and others; including Jacob. One day the Lord ignites a conscious that encourages you to live in consideration of His creation, other human beings as His prized creation and the natural law that says human life is precious. The life of Jacob indicates greed, jealousy, theft, deceit and human frailty before he entered into that new consciousness also known as being born again. It is a spiritual birth that acknowledges relationship with a supreme being. This acknowledgement is also indicative of most native cultures although language and the stories of prophets is a separate issue and the description of experiences in different cultures. This does not take away from an understanding of Yeshua and the purpose of His life to mankind. His teaching and understanding brings salvation in terms of the importance of accepting forgiveness from the supreme being and asking for forgiveness while we do not choose a life of willful sin although the confessed sin of a genuine error or mistake in judgement that may hurt another or yourself. Mind you, it is clear in the life of Jacob and also others such as David that when God has to bring something displeasing in your life to your attention, he will certainly get your attention. It took a while before David confessed what happened with Bathsheba although he must have known the answer in spite of trying his own solution. The answer was acknowledgement and confession. See Psalms 50 instead of letting the willfulness and guilt fester and turn you into a monster. Maybe if David had acknowledged it earlier, The prophet Nathan would not have had to show up and David would have thought of another solution such as sending Uriah and his wife away to the edge of the empire and keeping Uriah in his close command as a very well paid guard at an outpost, raising his wife and maybe a son. See also Psalms 51.   Why did you David covet an 80 year old woman although she was very beautiful? Some have indicated in story telling that she was 80 years old for stressing the point that she was Uriah's miracle and unfortunately a coveted miracle one unfortunate day as seen by David.   Yeshua lived, died and rose again to save us from the wretchedness of bitterness and unforgiveness. The civil wars in our private lives may become collective, society wide civil wars if we do not remember ourselves and what is most or more important. Go get yourself something nice at the cute global modular furniture outlet down the road and stop worrying about how he or she affords a hair cut every week such that you keep screwing up their stuff on account as you work as a client service employee at the company where they hold an account. Maybe they cut it themselves. What happened after that gay union court judgement in that amazing country? Do you have to watch yourself in sexual self-abuse on video before you get any civil courtesy from the government or otherwise? We pray that this is not so.

Anyway, Jacob sinned and hurt his family. The Lord brought it to his attention and he reconciled himself to the Lord. He also sought reconciliation with his brother. The point is he did not make it a way of life to steal from people or his family and to prey on stealing people's blessings, testimonies and miracles. Some people have turned this behavior into a culture in the name of Jacob's sin. But, they never graduate to Jacob's faith. Jacob had lived in ignorance initially.

It is demonic. The man or woman who follows this way of life in the name of culture is dead flesh, with a dead heart and is a departed, demonic soul. They are dead. Do you excuse your evil with some story that says you want to know if your victim is really that old school friend? Have you sat down with the friend for a coffee? have you invited them to your home or your restaurant and played 20 questions about grade school or High school? He knows the answers. He went on the grade 11 trip to Washington.  He napped in the Smithsonian Planetarium before the stellar presentation began and hung out at 4 corners mall. Did you think that when he went to Queens in Queensland, Harvard or Liverpool that he went to some kind of Hollywood and somehow, he owes you something? But, for the last ten years, you keep breaking into his vehicle and stealing cds, spitting phlegm on the dashboard and spitting in his milk bottles

left in his SMEG(TM) fridge; so evil! You are dishonoring Jacob and the word of his testimony. It also devalues the testimony of his descendants such as Moses in addition to others and their miracles that are founded on Jacob uniting with the Shekinah Glory. if Jacob did not repent and reconcile while making amends with family, he would not have been the house of Israel. The path to being born again, as it must be made clear, is not based on practicing the discarded sin of a patriarch. Did you know Moses was a murderer? It does not mean your faith in Christ would begin with killing someone simply because it was a part of Moses' unfortunate experience. If you are feeling passive aggressive, then buy a camera and take some photos. Join an expressive martial art. Get the best score in a video game. Start a club called Mingle or "Love Someone with a coffee for two dates first" for over 20's(20-50 somethings) in your church. Did you know Charles Stanley( Pastor ) is a Christian Pastor? Read it again.   In summary, cool Euro design modular furniture demonstrates that the wisdom of the ten commandments and a communal spirit that says I respect your stuff as you respect mine. Modular furniture stores could not exist on mass without the ten commandments as expressed in civil codes that presuppose the safety of property and human life; free from molestation. The codes is love because it is good for you. The other answer is a civil war but in the end, we will end up watching the "Book of Eli" as we rebuild everything based on the presuppositions that we fail to appreciate on a daily basis. Hold a door open for someone and as you do it, realize that you are loving yourself. Did you do this thing? Have a nice day!
