"Moses had made it clear that children were not punished for the sins of their parents (Deut 24:16; see Ezek 18:19-32), but children would feel the impact of breaches of God's law by their parents' generation as a natural consequence of its disobedience, its hatred of God. Children reared in such an environment would imbibe and then practice similar idolatry, thus themselves expresing hateful disobedience. The difference in consequence served as both a warning and a motivation. The effect of a disobedient generation was to plant wickedness so deeply that it took several generations to reverse."

JVH0212, Amen brother. Christians must wake up and see that we are responsible (for the great part) for the ills of society. After all, it is us who Christ said must be the salt and light of the world, not the unbelievers. Too many Christians today are more concerned with the rapture and what their new bodies might look like to be concerned with the here and now. For 2000 years Christians have pondered such ideas and have allowed culture and society to go down the drain (so to speak) by ignoring our greatest impact on a fallen world. True, changing societal problems does not lead to salvation, but if salvation does not lead to societal changes, then something is terribly wrong with our salvation (or our theology). Sam Hughey |
