"Poor Esau never stood a chance! Seems a bit unfair from a human vantage point, doesn’t it?"

You are correct. And, that is the standard complaint Paul faced. We read on in Rom. 9

"You will say to me then, 'Why does he still find fault? For who resist His will?'

Paul's answer?

"On the contrary, who are you, o man who answers back to God? The thing molded will not say to the molder, 'Why did you make me like this?' will it? Or does not the potter have a right over the clay, to make from the same lump one vessel for honorable use and another for dishonor?"

Evidently, God is not very accomodating to man's perceived "free will" nor his arrogance. But, this is at least part of why a man/woman/child is eternally safe if they are in Jesus. Like Mike said, every one drawn by Him cannot be lost. The RC view is simply a man-made religion.

Well, I happen to be one of those who, in my more rebellious moments, questions the molder too...but I am rebellious to anything by nature, so stands to reason for my personality.

I also realize there is not darn all I can do to change it, so eventually I go with the flow, or the wheel. But usually not before I’ve had my say. For all the good it does me. lol
