[quote=scaredyclassic]on the one hand, I, the Lord your G-d, am a jealous G-d, visiting the iniquity of the fathers on the children, on the third and the fourth generations of those who hate Me,” Exodus 20:5 .
But on the other hand, “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.” (Ezekiel 18:20).
So basically, it’s a crapshoot whether her parents’ sinfulness will transmit to her, but the more conservative route is to heed the warning in Exodus and proceed cautiously. her mother’s evilness could transmit generations down the line![/quote]
In real life family qualities work in cycles, that’s pretty much all of us, There is no
continous path of perfection. I am better than my dad, at least as a husband , father , community member, my kids will be better than me but that won’t last forever and a downhill slide is inevitable. Along the way some qualities go up and some go down too. Can’t have it all. Different lives.
As far as my problems go It’s all my fault though, I know that. Might as well be because having it be someone else;s fault is hopeless. So with that, I would say this is all Kev’s fault.
