Will the third and the fourth Generation of our Children, suffer for our sins ?

Answer 1

That is what the Bible teaches. I am not sure that suffer for our sins, as much as suffer the same sins. Exodus 34:7 "...who keeps lovingkindness for thousands, who forgives iniquity, transgression and sin; yet He will by no means leave the guilty unpunished, visiting the iniquity of fathers on the children and on the grandchildren to the third and fourth generations."

Answer 2

We are all suffering owing to Adam and Eve's sins, (After all, death did enter in owing to their eating of the tree of knowledge of good and evil), so I suppose what ever sins I decide to add to the pot, yes, the generations after me will suffer from the whole lot. This is why the world just keeps getting worse and worse and worse.

However, if we would like to add GOODNESS to the melting pot of choices we make then the generations after us can reap from those good things sown also. It is out choice!

The Bible mentions “generational curses” in several places (Exodus 20:5; 34:7; Numbers 14:18; Deuteronomy 5:9). It sounds unfair for God to punish children for the sins of their fathers. However, this is looking at it from an earthly perspective. God knows that sin is passed down from one generation to the next. When a father has a sinful lifestyle, his children are likely to have the same sinful lifestyle as well. That is why it is not unjust for God to punish sin to the third or fourth generation – because they are committing the same sins their ancestors did. They are being punished for their own sins, not the sins of their ancestors. The Bible specifically tells us that God does not hold children accountable for the sins of their parents (Deuteronomy 24:16).

Answer 3

That's what the Bible says...

Exodus:

14:18 The LORD is longsuffering, and of great mercy, forgiving iniquity and transgression, and by no means clearing the guilty, visiting the iniquity of the fathers upon the children unto the third and fourth generation.

The Kennedy's come to mind.....they seem to have been cursed.

Answer 4

properly, does a newborn from a "Fatherless" relations stuck in custody battles their adolescence existence have an same up-bringing because the newborn from a relations that honors marital vows? This seems self-glaring that although the newborn did no longer something incorrect that is being punished. might want to we proceed using insecticides, oil, and different commercial ideas from the 1900's ...properly, will the Earth insurrection and reason hardships for our toddlers, large grand toddlers, and so-forth for milliniums ... in accordance to some ecologist ... Wow. there's a organic "reason & result" we may be able to understand the following and now ... and the spirit parallells lots of the regulations of nature. So, it can make experience that a non secular tag might want to be surpassed generationally. some genetic scientists have claimed they have found a "God" DNA strand (like blue eyes) ... so, the possiblity is large for us to get punished from our mothers and fathers sin ... in reality lots of the Biblical thoughts are how the childreen deliver salvation to the mothers and fathers!!!

Answer 5

The Bible says yes - even unto the 10th generation.

How cruel!!!!!

Oh yeah - not just the Kennedy's but the Bushes too. The sins of the son because of the absent and useless father.

Answer 6

Certainly our descendants can be exposed to the consequences of our sins, but they're not held accountable before God for our sins. Ezekiel 18 makes that very clear (the entire chapter). Verse 20 summarizes: "The righteousness of the righteous shall be upon himself, and the wickedness of the wicked shall be upon himself"

Answer 7

I think there's a natural element of truth to that - I mean, we're all in some degree or another, products of our childhood. If my parents raised me to believe that some sin was good, then I'd probably end up teaching that to my kids, and so on.

:
2 Chron 25:4
But he slew not their children, but did as it is written in the law in the book of Moses, where the LORD commanded, saying, The fathers shall not die for the children, neither shall the children die for the fathers, but every man shall die for his own sin.

:
Ezek 18:20
The soul that sinneth, it shall die. The son shall not bear the iniquity of the father, neither shall the father bear the iniquity of the son: the righteousness of the righteous shall be upon him, and the wickedness of the wicked shall be upon him.
