What is the most crucial shortcoming of the human race?
Hebrews 12:16 points to being a fornicator or profane person, the two going hand in hand. Immorality makes one profane, as with Esau, who for one morsel of food sold his birthright. This is described as the most crucial shortcoming, always present and exploding in the 1990s.
Les teaches that the most crucial shortcoming of the human race has always been being a fornicator or profane person, and he says the two go hand in hand: an immoral person is profane for all practical purposes. He points to Hebrews 12:16, where Esau, the twin brother of Jacob, sold his birthright for one morsel of food. Les notes this wickedness reaches back to Ishmael and Esau and was rampant among the pagans, including the gross sexual wickedness in the places Paul confronted. He saw it exploding in the 90s.
Lest there be any fornicator, or profane person, as Esau, who for one morsel of meat sold his birthright.
