Of
course the babies (who are
far from innocent - they for instance are highly
egoistical) have to suffer for the failures of their ancestors. This is one of the things that is stated most
clearly in the Good
KJV!
Numbers 14:18
The LORD is longsuffering, and of great mercy, forgiving iniquity and transgression, and by no means clearing the guilty, visiting the iniquity of the fathers upon the children unto the third and fourth generation.
Sin is
hereditary and unless a baby has four generations of ancestors who have not committed even the
tiniest sin (albeit all sins are
equally disastrous and equally huge except one; James 2:10). I urge you to find a dynasty that is that immaculate (We do have our pastor line of Ezekiel Flint - Lamentations Flint
etc. That would come close). Of course, if there is even one
bastard,
Ammonite or
Moabite in the family, the babies will have to suffer for that failure of their ancestors for even longer (Deuteronomy 23:2-3). Babies are destined to
Hell unless they gain the wits to Repent (Acts 2:38) and understand the deep
depravity of their existence and avoid the
unforgivable sin (Matthew 12:31) in the meantime.
Yours in Christ,
