Bible Question: one of noah'S SONS SAW HIM NAKID AND gOD CURSED HIM AND HIS RACE ,YOU WILL BE SERVANT TO THE OTHERS ? |
Bible Answer: "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." (MacArthur Study Bible, p. 124) |
