Where do people's abilities and successes come from? Investigating these complicated issues, many contemporary psychologists, psychiatrists, neurologists, and researchers of human behavior argue that the physical health of a person, his morality, and his internal aspirations strongly affect the thinking of a person and, as a result, his behaver. Scholars believe that it is happening because man's thinking or consciousness is a value system that guides how people deal with each specific situation, or how people understand what is happening around them and what they should do in a given moment. For that reason, modern scientists, as theologians from time immemorial, began to believe that human behavior can be improved by enlightening consciousness. This article is aiming to explore what does the Bible says about human consciousness? Is it true that the consciousness of people determines their being, or, conversely, their social being determines their consciousness? It is noteworthy that for millennia the Holy Bible has taught that the life of any person can be "transformed by the renewal of the mind". The Scriptures also teach that man's behavior will gradually be changed by "renewed in the spirit of [his] mind". In the outstanding case of the biblical Esau and Jacob, Hebrew and Christian theologians always note that both of these twins came from the same womb, had the same parents and an identical environment. On the other hand, they (Esau and Jacob) are truly worlds apart. This research paper depicted how through the history, Hebrew and Christian communities viewed and interpreted the life of carnal Esau and the righteous Patriarch Jacob. Nevertheless, the main goal of this study is to show from a theological point of view how human desire, mindset and free will influence human behavior and predetermined the outcome of man's life.
