Genesis 27-30
These chapters are like airing
the dirty laundry of all the skeletons in the closet. The authenticity of the Bible is underscored by the
dysfunction of many of its main characters and one of the most dysfunctional is
the father of the twelve tribes, Jacob, soon to be renamed Israel. He is a conniving scoundrel relegated
to prize stud for his quarreling wife’s.
Not a bad perk but scandalous all the same.
At times God’s love can only be maintained
by the shaking of His head in honest recognition of His flawed creations.
