Its always bugging me to ask this question. Why should it be so?

At least, on the day of Judgement, we would be alone. Why must we be made to suffer the sins of our parents? Isn't that wickedness?

Most of these parents have done grave things, wicked acts.. And children still suffer the punishments.

What do you all think? A vivid explanation please... 'cause i'm starting to think life is unfair.

on judgement day everyone will carry their sin


but on earth children will pay for the sins of their father. and vice versa

its very logical. u carry their face around and u answer their name they are reference to ur existence


its simple. don't complicate it for ur self

facial look and name isn't enough reason why we should....suffer for their sins... Some have been dead for long and eventually, tribulations occur and its always attributed to sins of their parents.

My dear lets look at it from this angle.
If a man got a job and all he does is drink, chase women, lies, steals , does not plan and neglect the family.

The children may be less successful or productive....Although its not the kids fault but they are a part of the man n will always share in his pain. Its automatic.

Its always good to be cautious of our actions.

Im a doctor in the north n I try to counsel parents on lifestyle management and to restrict thier kids number to what they can manage but they pull out religious scriptures (both christian n muslim alike).....

The truth is always there, we only choose to look away.

Its very sad to see you trying to justify this. "It's logical" according to you because they carry their parents faces around and answer their name. Meanwhile according to the bible: Exodus 20:5 . . . 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; (KJV)

[b]1 Samuel 15:2-3, 32-33 Thus saith the LORD of hosts, I remember that which Amalek did to Israel, how he laid wait for him in the way, when he came up from Egypt. Now go and smite Amalek, and utterly destroy all that they have, and spare them not; but slay both man and woman, infant and suckling, ox and sheep, camel and ass. . . Then said Samuel, Bring ye hither to me Agag the king of the Amalekites. And Agag came unto him delicately. And Agag said, Surely the bitterness of death is past. And Samuel said, As thy sword hath made women childless, so shall thy mother be childless among women. And Samuel hewed Agag in pieces before the LORD in Gilgal. (KJV)
[/b]This revenge upon the nation of Amalek came about 380 years after their ambush of Israel, long after the perpetrators had died (see Exodus 17:. Can you also justify this?

The scriptures cannot be broken...read exodus 20, from verse 4, 5, 6 and beyond.

think of it this way. ur father was once a wicked lecturer he sleeps with female student. and fail a lot of students.

now u been his child after many years later seeks employment in an organization and the employer happen to be one of the student ur father had maltreated. so tell me won't u reap what ur father sow. remember same happens if ur father was a good man. even grand father.


i still say it is very logical

explain it plainly.

read this! DEUTERONOMY 24 vs 16

"parents are not to be put to death for their children, nor children put to death for their parents, each will die for their own sin"
