Hi Doc It seems as though we are at crossed purposes. Your answer is in relation to the corporate, (Nation). I am answering the question as asked, which was in the singular. The question asked was "i think it says about the sins being carried through generations" Therefore I feel as though the answer I gave while being out of context to the Nations complaint, Gods answer to them was in a singular context. Eze 18:20 - Deut. 24:16 God is Sovereign, even though He judges each man for his own actions, He can still judge the nation as a whole. Grace be unto you lightedsteps |

Dear lightedsteps, God does, indeed, judge and sentence nations. It is an entirely different situation, though, from the judgment of individuals. Nations do not have souls. Their judgment is always a temporal one. Humans either live or die eternally. Without the imputation of Christ's righteousness, all men are under the sentence of death. Their guilt is due to their departure from the righteousness demanded by a holy God in act, thought, word, and nature (either by commission or by omission). (See the first three chapters of Romans concerning the universality of sin.) Men are also guilty because of the sin of Adam, their federal head, which was imputed to all of his descendants (cf Romans 5:19). I would encourage you to obtain that book. In fact, if you want to write individually to me, I will see that you receive a copy. In Him, Doc |
