Esau was nothing towards the LORD
He didn't acknowledge GOD at all
and that's what Jacob saw and why he didn't join his brother
Esau showed more interest in the things Jacob had acquired showing clearly that Esau really cried crocodile tears about his lost "blessings" because he was more interested in temporal treasures (which he by his own hands (so he thought) had acquired) than TRUE TREASURES
He has the nerve to ask his brother where and how he has acquired all these things?

the likeness of adam and eve who are 1, is in every single human being. adam ensured through sin, that His children would not be created in the image of God, leaving only One option. every child is made in the image of His Father. the issue is that were all in that nature of adam. when we say " nature of" or image of" really it comes down to the mind and heart. Satan corrupted thier thinking, he " changed thier minds" this is why so many people try explaining that repentance is really " a change of the mind" and that is certainly the source.
This is EXACTLY why we need to accept the WORDS of Jesus Christ along with everything else He gives, the only thing that changes a mind.....is knowledge. were born in deception, and the truth changes that IF it is accepted and believed. There is nor can there ever be redemption without the Gospel preached by Jesus because it is the true perception of Gods Word. not coming through a sinner, but through the Son of the Living God, who is expressly like His Father.
John 8:31-34 "Then said Jesus to those Jews which believed on him, If ye continue in my word, then are ye my disciples indeed; 32And ye shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free. 33They answered him, We be Abraham's seed, and were never in bondage to any man: how sayest thou, Ye shall be made free?34Jesus answered them, Verily, verily, I say unto you, WHOSOEVER COMMITETH sin is the servant of sin."
all have sinned because it is human nature, thereore all are servants of sin and need the freedom from sin offered Here in accordance with the Word of God. Just as paul states later in romans 6:16-17. The gospel is the knowledge that transforms believers from within through belief leading to faith.

Gods children arent disobedient though is the thing
John 8:38-44 "I speak that which I have seen with my Father: and ye do that which ye have seen with your father.39They answered and said unto him, Abraham is our father. Jesus saith unto them, If ye were Abraham's children, ye would do the works of Abraham. 40But now ye seek to kill me, a man that hath told you the truth, which I have heard of God: this did not Abraham. 41Ye do the deeds of your father. Then said they to him, We be not born of fornication; we have one Father, even God.
42Jesus said unto them, If God were your Father, YE WOULD LOVE ME* for I proceeded forth and came from God; neither came I of myself, but he sent me. 43Why do ye not understand my speech? even because ye cannot hear my word. 44Ye are of your father the devil, and the lusts of your father YE WILL DO. He was a murderer from the beginning, and abode not in the truth, because there is no truth in him. When he speaketh a lie, he speaketh of his own: for he is a liar, and the father of it."
of course when Jesus says " you would Love me" we have to accept what He clearly says of Loving Him
John 14:23-24 "Jesus answered and said unto him, If a man love me, he will keep my words: and my Father will love him, and we will come unto him, and make our abode with him. 24He that loveth me not keepeth not my sayings: and the word which ye hear is not mine, but the Father's which sent me."
the process is belief leads to action. if we believe in Jesus, we will have zero issue with learning from Him and Keeping His words, if we dont believe He is who He is.....what He says wont really mater too much when it comes to our actions. He suffered and died to win our hearts, if our hearts are with Jesus, His word is the truth. who would doubt Gods word...after being taught what happened in eden, and after all He has done to repair the damage we caused.
we will all face judgement, those who are of Christ have no worries of thier past it is forgiven, nor should we fear the future Because if we accept Jesus including His word of authority and power that word of Life that is the gospel..God is ever working in us pruning away the fruitless flesh in us. He justifies freely, but that is for those who do not reject Him. when a person is deathly ill and they refuse the only medication...they will not get better.
A good father teaches His children right and wrong, and alkso teaches them what will kill them. if you have one good kid who is likely not to drink and drive, one kid who is more likely by nature to do something so dangerous....and The Father teaches both NOT to drink and drive, One does it and dies oin a car crash............it IS NOT the Fathers fault, it is the action that the kid did against The wisdom and loving instruction of His Father that doesnt want His kids either one...to die.
when God tells us the truth about something, from that point on were accountable for the consequence, we cant then go blame God for judging us, when He clearly warned us ahead of time, and much more provided His Holy spirit to guide our Hearts and lives. God has already done everything perfect for us. including thoroughly explaining sin and its consequences both temporal and eternal. its not a matter of God Judging everyone, its a matter of Hearing The Fathers Word, and disregarding it.
God has been plain to all mankind whether a person found Jesus in prison, or a person is born into a christian home and never strays so far as jail. both are sinners One heeds the Lords Word BECAUSE He is the Lord, the other disregards it not recognizing that God said it. God loves even the man who is in prison, His love doesnt fail us, ours fails us

GOD has many children. And the first Adam didn't listen All died. And apart from these "good" children listening to their GOOD FATHER who provided THE WAY back, they will die
and youre right
it isn't THE FATHER's fault
Christ ssid. If you knew THE GIFT of GOD and who it is who asks, you would have asked HIM and HE would have given you LIVING WATER
Unfortunately not all the children listen to what is GOOD for their well being

Are you saying that men don't need to hear THE GOSPEL preached in order to believe JESUS is SAVIOR and LORD?
Wouldn't they have to first acknowledge their need for a SAVIOR who HEALS?
Isn't that why the prophecy of Isaiah stands?
Didnt CHRIST say, in them ( those who do not believe who can't see and can't hear) is tge prophecy of Isaiah fulfilled
