    It just explains how we keep on doing what our ancestors did. They sinned and so do we. It just makes that point more clear. That is why they say Jesus died for our sins. Not because we inherit the sins of our parents but because we choose to continue to sin even after we know that is what we are doing. That is why we knew what we were doing when we sacrificed Christ yet we continued to do it. More or less the same reason anyone dies at the hand of another. Usually out of the ubiquity of a life of sin.

    I don't believe that I should have to pay for my father and grandfather being abusive monsters, so no, I do not believe this, no matter what the Bible says. Jesus died to forgive us our sins, and I don't think God would heap sins that are not ours on us. Not if he really does love us all.

    Nope. Ezekiel 18:20 "The soul that sinneth, it shall die. The son shall not bear the iniquity of the father, neither shall the father bear the iniquity of the son: the righteousness of the righteous shall be upon him, and the wickedness of the wicked shall be upon him."
