1 | sins of the father | Bible general Archive 4 | MAMAMETAL | 222707 | ||
i think it says about the sins being carried through generations, but does this have anything to do with (for instance)..The parents are continually bickering, name calling, even hitting each other.... then the children grow up to accept and act the same way....I thought so little of myself growing up,After I married, I put up with being beat and abused, I thought no one wanted me, Some days were o.k. If I left, then on top of everything else, I would also be alone. (Now,I know the Lord is always with me. I'm saved.) I am 60 yrs..Married 3 times, Now I live with a man who has never hit me, but we have grown so far apart we rarely speak. I cry almost everyday because I am so lonley. The pain comes from deep inside. At my two daughters homes I see screaming and fighting the grandchildren are having boy/girl friends. I look at my grandchildren. I've seen them actually crying because thier boy/girl friends has hurt them. I have such pain to see my grandchildren heading for where I am now. Looking back (at my parents) and ahead (to the grand children). I am so greatfull for this site because, allthough I know I should be attending Church, I usually dont. But I am always doing "MY JOB"(speaking about Christ whenever I can) Our family never attended Church. I never push, but I think I have made a dent or two in one of my daughters. If I can show her in the bible where it says "YOU'RE INFECTING YOUR KIDS" It might do some good. PLEASE! Send the scripture but then also try to put it in plain old everyday words of your own because I have trouble relating what the words mean myself. | ||||||

First, I want to encourage you to find a local church that you can attend. This forum is an awesome tool, but it can’t replace the relationship you build in a church and having someone that you can talk to face-to-face and a minister you can seek Godly counsel from. I don’t by any means want to devalue this forum, it is a great tool and one that can help every believer and non-believer dig deeper into the Word, but in Hebrews 10:25 we are encouraged together with one another. You asked about generational sins, which the following information is taken from gotquestion.org “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 the effects of sin are 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. But 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). There is a trend in the church today to try and blame every sin and problem on some sort of generational curse. This is not biblical. The cure for generational curses is salvation through Jesus Christ. When we become Christians, we are new creations (2 Corinthians 5:17). How can a child of God still be under God’s curse (Romans 8:1)? The cure, then, for a “generational curse” is faith in Christ and a life consecrated to Him (Romans 12:1-2).” www.gotquestions.org/generational-curses.html Hopefully others will be able to expound on this topic further, but I would really encourage you to get into a local church that can provide you the support and help that we all need for a day-to-day walk with Christ.
