Bible Question:
Hi, Our God is a very fair God. He is loving, caring and forgiving. But what is mentioned in DEUT.5:8 IS not very complimentary and in fact it is contrary to the good nature of God. Deut.5:8 ".....punishing the children for the sin of their fathers to the third and fouth generation of those who hate me...." Could it be possible that some misinterpretation/mis- tranlation have crept in? Your comments, please. With love in Christ. FytRobert |
Bible Answer: FyTRobert, there is no mistranslation here. Remember the old saying, Like Father Like Son.God in His wisdom shows us time and time again, that Isreal, when God told them to kill all of the enemies of theirs, then they faired very well, but every time they didnt, trouble came from the children left alive. The views of adults are held by at least the third or fourth generations of their children, before their attitudes change.Its like a cancer,you can cut it out but untill you get to the source, it always comes back to kill.
