And so ends Larry. I'm reading things "in" by reading what it says, and he's "not" by saying "it doesn't say that" (when it clearly does) and pointing to a direct contradiction to what is says, and it's a GD Commandment no less.Has been duly explained already.This does NOT mean that if an older generation/parents sin that the child/children are damned because of their parents sin(s).
Care to try again? The text says, "...for I, the Lord your God, am a jealous God, punishing the children for the sin of the parents to the third and fourth generation of those who hate me..."
You seem to have an opinion that God does not? Explain, please...
No, you are misunderstanding God and His Word.
Yes, God will and does punish the sin of the fathers upon the children unto the 3rd and 4th generation, but that does NOT mean that God DAMNS the children to Hell for the sins of the fathers, as seen in Ezekiel chpt. 18.
-Rev. Larry Wallenmeyer.
King James Bible
Exodus 20:5
"Thou shalt not bow down thyself to them, nor serve them: for I the LORD thy God am a jealous God, visiting the iniquity of the fathers upon the children unto the third and fourth generation of them that hate me"
Why, exactly, would one worship a being who would punish you for the "sins" of your great, great grandfather? The text is clear, unless you believe the rest of the Ten Commandments are also unclear. Are they?
You are deliberately deaf and blind to truth and facts, you read INTO a passage what YOU want to see and hear, never bothering to study the entirety of God's Word IN CONTEXT, NOR to even find out what God means by visiting the sins of the fathers on the children.
This has been addressed and answered 3-4 times already...if you do not see even the possibility that YOUR OPINION/VIEW may be out of context, wrong by now then all I can do is pray for you.
Ezekiel 12:2King James Version (KJV)
2 Son of man, thou dwellest in the midst of a rebellious house, which have eyes to see, and see not; they have ears to hear, and hear not: for they are a rebellious house.
Father God, open up PaintMyHoue's eyes and heart to what YOUR Holy Word says. May he no longer see, hear and understand with his broken, frail and murky understanding as YOU, Oh Lord, speak of in YOUR Word. I pray that his understanding will be enlightened by The Holy Spirit, in Jesus' name, amen.
-Rev. Larry Wallenmeyer.
Example of Larry's "thinking":
Q: Larry, what does Thou Shall Not Steal mean?
A: It means you can steal, John 3:16.
Don't be so hard on Larry. He's used to people blindly accepting anything he says, and is probably confused when people actually question the same crap he has gotten away with for so long. Explaining why you believe something is hard for someone who has never had to do it before.
