里面火龙说了一句:Sins of fathers (父辈的罪恶),但是父辈的罪恶,是否会连累子孙?圣经里面有了完整的答案:
(Exodus 20:5) - "You shall not worship them or serve them; for I, the Lord your God, am a jealous God, visiting the iniquity of the fathers on the children, on the third and the fourth generations of those who hate Me,"
(Deuteronomy 5:9) - "You shall not worship them or serve them; for I, the Lord your God, am a jealous God, visiting the iniquity of the fathers on the children, and on the third and the fourth generations of those who hate Me,"
(Exodus 34:6-7) - "Then the Lord passed by in front of him and proclaimed, "The Lord, the Lord God, compassionate and gracious, slow to anger, and abounding in lovingkindness and truth; 7who keeps lovingkindness for thousands, who forgives iniquity, transgression and sin; yet He will by no means leave the guilty unpunished, visiting the iniquity of fathers on the children and on the grandchildren to the third and fourth generations."
(出埃及记 34:6-7)于是上帝从摩西面前经过,宣告说:「我是耶和华,是上主;我是满有慈悲怜悯的上帝。我不轻易发怒,有丰富的慈爱和信实。我坚守应许,直到千万代,并赦免罪恶过犯;但是我一定要惩罚犯罪的人的子孙,直到叁四代。」
(Deuteronomy 24:16) - "Fathers shall not be put to death for their sons, nor shall sons be put to death for their fathers; everyone shall be put to death for his own sin."
(申命记 24:16) 父辈不应为子孙受死,同样子孙不应为父辈受死;每个人应为个人行为而负责。
(Ezekiel 18:20) - "The person who sins will die. The son will not bear the punishment for the father’s iniquity, nor will the father bear the punishment for the son’s iniquity; the righteousness of the righteous will be upon himself, and the wickedness of the wicked will be upon himself."
(以西结 18:20) 惟独犯罪的人、他自己必死亡;儿子必不担当父亲的罪罚,父亲也不担当儿子的罪罚;义人的义果必归他自己,恶人的恶报也必归他自己。
