I think Esau could've been a werewolf. Just a theory.
i think it;s possible he could have been a werewolf...... i doubt he was a vampire........ though porphyriacs have been accused of being both in the past....... ..... which makes me wonder what the true nature of pauls "thorn in the flesh" was..... ???... i have my own theory about that one.......... but not quite ready to get chased off the forum for suggesting it yet...... :-X...... still... it;s just a theory........ and any one of those is just as good as another....
Vince Massi said:Esau was not a porphyraic, because he was healthy enough to lead an army. It's genetic, and yet neither the Jews nor the Edomites have a lot of it.
He couldn't have been a werewolf, because Zeus hadn't invented them yet.

I've heard it said that Paul's thorn in his flesh was his wife.
That would explain some of the things he said about marriage.
did paul even have a wife?......... ??? ...... the bible makes no mention of her.......and i think there is a very good reason for that........

and you are so certain that all the symptoms of porphyria we see in the worst cases today would have also been evident in esaus time?.......or that he would have exhibited all of them?........... diseases and disease processes change over time..... viruses and pathogen mutate.... so do biological toxins...... and what makes you believe that if esau did have an extreme case of porphyria he wouldn;t also take some kind of precautions against the sun?.....
by the way....... where did you get the kind of advanced medical degree that qualifies you to make such a determination about an individual that has been dead for thousands of years..... that nobody alive today has even seen the bones or a picture of.....and which even professors teaching in medical school say might have had a type of porphyria?..... ???
did they teach pathophysiology at hyles anderson?...... ;D

If Esau didn't have the symptoms of porphyria, then he didn't have porphyria.
