Who receive the rightful inheritance, Jacob the liar or Esau?

Isaac was blind; he gave the rightful inheritance to Esau, NOT Jacob. Isaac asked God to bless Esau, not Jacob. Even Esau wasn’t present, God blessed Esau, God isn’t blind. Esau doesn’t have to be next to God to receive the blessing.
God forgives through repentance. Jacob should have REPENTED and returned what he had stole from his brother Esau TO OBTAIN FORGIVENESS AND BLESSING? Jacob stole the inheritance of the Promised Land.

IN MODERN DAYS, should the Promised Land be returned to its original successor in according for the Hebrew “Jacob-ites” receive forgiveness and blessing?

God forgiveS through repentance only. If we don’t repent, it means that we are going to do it again.

Jesus said: Luke 5:32

I have not come to call the righteous, but sinners to repentance."

Repentance means “change the way”, “born again” as new person.
If someone spent the moneys that he stole, God would forgive this person through repentance.

HOWEVER, The Promised Land is still with the Hebrew Jacob-ites, which should be returned to it processors.

WHEN YOU TAKE SOMETHING THROUGH LIE, IS CONSIDERED STEALING.

The deception started with Isaac and Ishmael, not just with Jacob and Esau. The firstborn of Abraham is Ishmael, not Isaac. THE PROMISED LAND MUST BE RETURNED TO THE ISHMAELITE.

Is it possible that someone twisted the scriptures claiming Isaac as the firstborn INSTEAD ISHMAEL? I believe Jacob didn’t lie and never stole his brother’s birthright, and Abraham never dispatched Hager and her son Ishmael. The blame is on those that twisted the scriptures after Jesus’ era. God’s chosen people do exist, but there are some people in Israel claiming to be [Hebrews] Jews and are not.
Read JESUS’ WORD IN Revelation 2:9
The passage reads: [I know your afflictions and your poverty, yet you are rich! I know the slander of those who say they are Jews and are not, but are a synagogue of Satan.]

It means that there are righteous native Jews and holy synagogues, but those that were and still exist in Israel pretend to be Jews and are not.

NOTE: The Ishmaelites are Hebrews, NOT ARABS. There are no biblical evidences to prove that the Ishmaelites are Arabs.

Esau married Mahalath The daughter of Ishmael

He gave up his birth right for a bowl of red soup
Come on...he was famished and probably joking with his brother as many brothers pull each others legs.
Do you really think he meant it
What about the fake hair he wore to deceive his father
And his mother was in on it

The land today as we know as Isreal is not the promised land, have you been there, it is not flowing with milk and honey, believing me , I have been there, Since you have read the story of Jacab and Esau you know what happened to the promised land. Today Isreal owns a very small piece of it and that comes with turmoil. Why God chose to let it happen this way he only knows, he is the Potter, we are the clay, All I know is that Jesus came and died on a cross for my sins and yours, his shed blood at the crucifixtion saved me from sure hell. If you have never accepted Jesus as your Lord you can right now, Just say this simple sinners pray, Dear Jesus, I know and confess that I am sinner in need of salvation. I believe you died on a cross at calvery and arose from the grave to wash away my sins, I ask you right now to come into my heart and save me, I pray this Prayer believing in the name of Jesus Amen. If you prayed this prayer with a sincere heart you are now a child of God, rejoice that your name is written in the Lambs book of Life. If you have any questions just send me an email, God Bless YOU!!

Yes, Jacob lied, but if you actually read the account he bought the birthright from Esau before.

As such he was only lying so he could get what was rightfully his in the first place.

In addition your going to need to find Esau's descendants in order to give them what you claim is theirs.

The Kingdom of Edom is long gone, I dont know of any group that claims to come from Esau, Do you?

You only show the deception of Jacob... not Isaac. According to that story, there was no deception on Isaac's part. And they were all Hebrews...

I can't believe people are still trying to justify things because of something they believe is the "Promised Land" while still claiming Heaven/Afterlife is the reward. Amazing.

Isaac was indeed blind, and Jacob indeed lied to his father by pretending to be Esau. But Jacob didn't steal his inheritance, his brother gave it to him:

"And one day Jacob was cooking some soup when Esau came in from the fields in great need of food; And Esau said to Jacob, Give me a full meal of that red soup, for I am overcome with need for food: for this reason he was named Edom. And Jacob said, First of all give me your birthright. And Esau said, Truly, I am at the point of death: what profit is the birthright to me? And Jacob said, First of all give me your oath; and he gave him his oath, handing over his birthright to Jacob. Then Jacob gave him bread and soup; and he took food and drink and went away, caring little for his birthright."

Sooooo, even though Jacob had to lie to get Isaac to give it to him (we all know what dad would've said to such a bargain), the birthright was his by rights.

So no, the Promised Land belongs to Jacob :)

Isaac was wrong
Rebecca was right, she fix the wrong the best she could
Isaac wasn't the first wrong man in history
Abraham was wrong
and Sarah was right
Jacob was wrong about his wives, He favored Rachel's sons Joseph and Benjamin. But God choose Leah's son Judah

God doesnt forgive thru repentance...God forgives ONLY because His Son paid a debt He did not owe , for me who owed a debt I could not pay. NOTHING WE DO has any bearing on whether or not God forgives us...NOT even asking. God says He forgave the whole world when NO ONE was asking.

"Christ died for us while we were yet sinners."
