Subject: Is sin inherited from father and mother? |
Bible Note: Thanks for replying but I disagree. The 'visiting' of sin upon the children is not referring to the stain of sin, but the natural fallout of one's mistakes upon those around him. The sins of a drunkard father will be visited upon the children. The sins of Israel were visited upon the sons who had to endure 70 years of captivity. The so-called sin nature that is passed on isn't just for three or four generations, it is in perpetuity. Exodus 34:7 isn't making the case. The Romans 5:12 shows how it is we all are 'made sinners', by following the footsteps of Adam. We are also all 'made righteous' not by fiat through Jesus' death on the cross, but by our faith and repentance in Jesus Christ. The sin of Adam is only passed on when we sin like Adam. The righteousness of Christ is only passed on when we die like Christ (take up your cross, etc). Good day. |
