The irony about the comp claim that Genesis shows firstborn preference, is that in the whole book of Genesis not one first born was preferred by God over the second born.

So a question one might ask is, where DID the concept of firstborn preference arise from. I suspect they were looking for the Savior. And it arose from there to give special attention to the firstborn male just in case he might be ‘the one’. After all they did not know exactly how God was going to do this.

Cheryl,
I hope your partner recooperates completely and is whole again soon. In the meantime perhaps God might find you some help. 🙂
