Sins Of My Fathers (Adam & Eve)

[Stayed Too Long]

I am aware of only one corrupt country on earth that punishes the descendants of a convicted criminal. When a man or woman commits a crime, not only is the criminal punished, but also their children and their children.  If you should be thrown in prison for stealing, that was not the end of it. Your sons and daughters, and their daughters and sons would also be incarcerated. 
In today’s laws one must be convicted of a crime THEY have committed. Their children have no worry of being held responsible for the sins of their fathers.

But, a so called loving God tells us we are sinners because OUR parents sinned against Him thousands of years ago! Someone I never met did a boo boo way back when, and you and I are being held responsible for it. And if we don’t acknowledge ourselves as a complete sinner to this loving God, he will drop us like a hot potato, and send us to hell to be tormented for ever. 

Yikes! There is no greater dictator on the planet than this so called “loving God.”

STL the antidote is very simple:  go to confession, be very sorry for the sin and you have a clean slate.

I think the greatest hardship was experienced by our Lord Jesus Christ, who paid the ultimate price.

STL: I moved this out of doctrinal. Please do not do this again. Doctrinal is specifically set up so believers can discuss their beliefs without this kind of intrusion. A lot of Christians come to this site to explore their faith, and we want them to have a safe space to do so. We (unbelievers) have our space. Give them theirs.

Thank you for your attention to this matter.

Let me ask you this. Let’s assume you are a father, or mother, you have children, and have instructed them they must clean their room everyday. You further demand that if they fail to do so they will be punished by having to sleep in the cold basement with no blankets forever.  And this punishment will be passed down to their linage, also for eternity. Does this seem fair to all their children?  But because you are loving, you throw in a caveat, that if they write you a letter asking you to forgive them every time they fail to clean  their room, they will be absolved of their transgression, and can get back into the comfort of their bedroom. 
This goes on for the rest of their lives of your  entire linage.

Does thhis make sense?
