1 | Reconciling Scripture verses. | OT general | parpar | 200496 | ||
Hi Doc. Thank you for your post. The word of God cannot disagree with itself, it must be my understanding that is at fault, and that is why I am asking for help. At Deu 5:9, God seems to be saying that He will punish the children for the iniquity of the fathers, whereas at, Eze 18:17, God seems to be saying that He will not punish the children for the iniquity of the fathers. I hope that this helps you to resolve my problem. Thank you. parpar. |

2 | Reconciling Scripture verses. | OT general | humbledbyhisgrace | 200500 | ||
parpar, Consider in Deuteronomy 5:9 "... of those who hate Me" and in Ezekiel 18:17 "...but executes My ordinances, and walks in My statutes..." Deuteronomy 5:9 (NASB) 'You shall not worship them or serve them; for I, the LORD your God, am a jealous God, visiting the iniquity of the fathers on the children, and on the third and the fourth generations of those who hate Me, Ezekiel 18:17 (NASB) he keeps his hand from the poor, does not take interest or increase, but executes My ordinances, and walks in My statutes; he will not die for his father's iniquity, he will surely live.

Hi Steve. "of those who hate Me", refers to fathers, where as, "but executes My ordinances, and walks in My statutes", refers to sons,, In other words, the two extracts you quote, are not dealing with the same persons, so what is the point you are trying to make? parpar. |

parpar, Sorry for the delay in responding. I've been out of town. I would disagree. Compare Deuteronomy 5:9 with Deuteronomy 7:9-10. Also, in regards to Ezekiel 18:17 read the rest of chapter 18. Steve |

Hi Steve. Sorry for the delay in responding, please accept my apology. All the verses you quote apart from, Deuteronomy 5:9, merely indicate that a son will not be judged for his fathers misdeeds, whereas, Deuteronomy 5:9, appears to contradict this, and that is all that I am saying. My question was, "Can someone please give me advice on how to reconcile the apparent contradiction of these two verses." If my understanding of, Deuteronomy 5:9, is incorrect, then please let me have what you consider to be the correct interpretation of this verse. Thank you. parpar. |
