Generational Curse (Pt 2)

So, the generational curse… it just doesn’t apply to us.  Why?  Because Jesus absolved us of it.  When he was about to heal a blind man, his disciples asked Jesus.  Why was this guy blind from birth?  Was it because of the generational curse or because he himself sinned?  And what did Jesus say?  "Neither this man nor his parents sinned," said Jesus, "but this happened so that the work of God might be displayed in his life.” (Jn 9:1-3)  So what Jesus is basically saying is that disabilities are not a factor of our sins.  But instead, the disability is there so that God’s power can be manifested.  Whether that means divine healing or something else, it’s all the same.  

Do we get healed when we pray for it?  No, not always.  But miraculous healing isn’t the only work of God that can be displayed.  Living with a cheerful heart, that is another way people can see God in the disabled.  But I’m also not saying there are no more miracle healings either.  God can still heal people, he has the power.  

Second thing is that if you do believe in this generational curse, that means our sins aren’t forgiven.  The sins of our forefathers get passed to us because nobody took care to expiate their sins, whether through a sacrifice or something else bloody.  People really liked blood in those days.  As the theory goes, when a guy has secretly sinned, God sees it, and says to himself, “Hmm… now that man.  He did a sin and didn’t confess!  Well then, I will visit him with trouble and his kids will get it too!”  But, the thing is, Jesus died for our sins, once and for all.  And as Christians, we only have to ask for his forgiveness and our sins are forgiven.  All of them…even the ones we didn’t commit.  Hrm… I wonder if we can ask him to forgive the sins we will commit?  Oh well, that’s another article.

Lastly, because I know some of you have been shouting at the monitor about the obvious reason why generational sin is wrong, the passage in Exodus isn’t even talking about it.   People have been misinterpreting it all along.  Now, I’m not a Bible Scholar, but this website talks about it.   Also, if you look at the comments from the first part, some ANONYMOUS (wink, wink, nudge, nudge) commenter suggests another site.  I’m sure there are others as well, but this was the first one I could find using my secret research techniques.

So, that’s about it.  Yay!  A short article for once!  I’m so glad you enjoyed it.  But don’t celebrate too long… soon I will write something twice as long as this.  Call it a make up article ;)

Peace out.
