Is this typical christian logic? Read this. Kids suffer cos their parents did wrong?

Question

He may not understand right now and you may not either, but you simply say "God loves you and he is not causing your pain. Pray to God and he will hear your prayers and he will answer them." That is all you have to say, because that is the absolute truth. More truth be told, ..... the kid may be suffering as a result of unconfessed sin in the parents life. Harsh, but true. Follow satan and you and your loved ones will suffer.

Answer 1

As a pagan parent, with christian children, I must speak up. Where do you get this? How dare you lay the blame on parents when their kids make mistakes or cannot find the answers they seek?! Doesn't your bible say something like "Judge not lest ye be judged"? WTF gives? Unconfessed sins? Honey we all 'sin' in the eyes of christian soldier such as yourself.

Answer 2

I read that earlier and I agree it really is twisted,but Christians have a little agreement with their mythical leader,when bad stuff happens it's original sin or sin in general or Satan or God works in mysterious ways. When something good happens it's Gods blessings upon you,he never has to answer for anything in a world he supposedly built,pretty sweet deal if you think about it. Wish I could get that kind of deal building houses or something, build it then sell it,if it lasts 100 years great,if it falls down the day after closing I bear no responsibility,what a total peach of an arrangement.

Answer 3

There are definitely kids who suffer because of their parents' 'sin', in very tangible ways.
Ask a child with Fetal Alcohol Spectrum Disorder.
Ask nurses who deal with crack-addicted babies.
Ask kids who grew up hungry because their folks spent all their food money on drugs, drink, cigarettes, botox, cosmetics, mistresses, or gambling.
Ask kids who never see their parents or get the guidance and love they crave because their parents have become such workaholics that they can't take even one day a week to really be with them as a family (the sabbath principle).
Ask kids who ever had to try to separate their own identity from that of their parent who has done some great wrong and everyone in town knows about it.
Ask kids who grew up in various kinds of poverty because their Daddies especially, didn't have the maturity to BE daddies, and provide for their physical, material, emotional, social and spiritual needs.
Ask kids who are emotionally and psychologically damaged because they have experienced or witnessed violence at the hands of their parents or their mothers partners.
Sure, the 'sins' of the parents affect the kids!!!

Answer 4

You should have known they'd throw tomatoes at you for this one.
You are actually right.
Remember David & Bathsheba? Read over in ll Samuel and see the story of these parents.
The Bible plainly teaches that the sins of the fathers are visited on the sons.
I'll let the scholars look that up for themselves.
Maybe, someone will learn from this question you asked., as it is very thought provoking.
Millions of children are suffering for the sins of their parents... look at the drug culture in this society. You think the kids aren't suffering as a direct result of sin? Open your eyes.

Answer 5

Harsh? Yes.
And incorrect.
That was common among the Jews, and unfortunately remains an old cliche today.
You'll find the premise in Exodus 20:5 "...the iniquities of the fathers are passed down to the third and fourth generation..."

the next phrase though is this: "...of them that hate me."

But God does not work that way. God calls for us to take personal responsibility for our own actions, and sins:

Answer 6

i became spoke of as a Christian. purely later did it strike me how plenty it did no longer resonate with me. I left Christianity and went questing for some thing that made sense to me whilst my first spouse and that i chop up up. i could lost my abode, pastime, vehicles, each and every thing different than my mattress, cloth cabinet, and garments. I had to pass decrease back abode with my mum and dad after having been on my own for 5 years. It became humiliating, and that sent me questing. I went by way of Wicca, Ceremonial magic, Judaism, and ultimately settled on Buddhism 5 years in the past. that's appropriate for me. It is clever to me. i became in a position to heal utilising what I found out as a Buddhist. i'm married back and characteristic a sturdy abode with a sturdy pastime. i'm now no longer estranged from my Christian roots. As a Buddhist, i've got self belief closer to Christ than I ever did as a Christian. I tell this tale because of the fact i prefer you to comprehend that i do no longer think of it rather is brainwashing or notwithstanding have you ever in case you as a Christian determine enhance your babies in a Christian better half and little ones. what's risky isn't giving them the abilities they might desire to function interior the actual worldwide, that's amazingly plenty area of what mum and dad do. My mum and dad tried, and that i did no longer pay attention. I paid for it. that may no longer brainwashing. that's stubbornness on my area. even with the undeniable fact that, if elevating them in a Christian better half and little ones makes them judgmental, closed-minded, etc, then it rather is greater advantageous to no longer teach them approximately God in any respect. that's approximately skillful ability: what leads you to a compassionate, type existence the place you workout expertise? If theory in God gets interior the way of that (and realistically, it each and every now and then does), then the guy is greater advantageous off devoid of. If the different is authentic, then i could inspire that theory.

Answer 7

The Bible does mention punishment for "the sins of the father", but that was old Testament. We are in a New Covenant with Jesus, since He paid the price for our sins by dying on the cross. We are forever worthy to be called His children.

Answer 8

Our children can be blessed or cursed by our obedience or disobedience to God....

Moses said to the Israelites, “This day I call heaven and earth as witnesses against you that I have set before you life and death, blessings and curses. Now choose life, so that you and your children may live and that you may love the Lord your God, listen to his voice, and hold fast to him. For the Lord is your life, and he will give you many years in the land he swore to give to your fathers, Abraham, Isaac and Jacob.”

God Also said in Exodus 20:5 "You shall not bow down to them or worship them; for I, the LORD your God, am a jealous God, punishing the children for the sin of the fathers to the third and fourth generation of those who hate me, 6 but showing love to a thousand {generations} of those who love me and keep my commandments."

Though any child can also rise up and break that curse through Christ who broke all curses...

Answer 9

The child isn't punished for his parent's sin per se, but may suffer the results of sin; divorce, abuse, etc.
