Esau, and potentially others
Referencing Old Testament: Genesis Chapter 25
New Testament: Hebrews 12:14 - 17; Philippians 3:19; Romans 16:18
Esau was the eldest of twins born to the Biblical patriarch, Isaac. The younger twin was named Jacob. When Esau was faint with hunger upon return home from the field, he asked Jacob for some of the stew Jacob had prepared. Jacob offered to sell it for Esau's birthright as the elder brother. Esau basically said the birthright would not do him any good if he was dead of hunger. He " sware unto him: and he sold his birthright unto Jacob. Then Jacob gave Esau bread and pottage of lentiles; and did eat and drink, and rose up, and went his way: thus Esau despised his birthright."
Hebrews 12:14-17
"Follow peace with all men, and holiness, without which no man shall see the Lord: Looking diligently lest any man fail of the grace of God; lest any root of bitterness springing up trouble you, and thereby many be defiled: Lest there be any fornicator, or godless person, as Esau, who for one morsel of bread sold his birthright. For ye know that afterward, when he would have inherited the blessing, he was rejected: for he found no place of repentance, though he sought it carefully with tears."
The persons whose actions and attitudes are documented in the Old Testament are types and shadows of those to come.
Question asked by God: Would you be as Esau and trade your birthright for a morsel of bread?
According to John Chapter 1 and Chapter 3, and Romans 8:17, we can become the sons of God. We must be born again of the Spirit. Then we become joint heirs with Jesus Christ. Now we too have a birthright. How could we possibly trade our birthright for a morsel of bread? The Bible refers to those whose God is their belly. This is a quick answer but anyone who would choose short term bodily satisfaction over the spiritual riches of God be it for food or sex, etc.after having been born again in Christ Jesus is a potential seller of birthright. As believers in Christ Jesus, Certainly we have been given the ability to overcome sin by the word of our testimony and the blood of the lamb. If we still choose to return to sin, we give up our birthright.
