    Adam passed his original sin to all his descendants.  This would have happened whether or not Eve had sinned, too.  If Eve had sinned and not Adam, her sin would not have been hereditary.

    Yes, but parents have a responsibility to raise their children right.  If they raise their children to be criminals, they are liable in part for the sins of their children.  It is only a good parent who raised his children to be good and law-abiding people who is not liable for his children's sins.

  • Nonsense.  Mother is to blame for all my crimes and peccadilloes.

    girls r responsible for 4 generations of sins while boys r responsible for 3 generations before them. if it's a big sin like Jews killing Christ, then all Jews are responsible for it (unless they get baptized). 1st immersion washes away ancestral sins; 2nd immersion washes away personal sins; 3rd immersion gives you gifts of the Holy Spirit to do good works in Christ's Name. if u reject mark of the beast, then ur direct ancestors go to heaven (according to saint vyacheslav krasheninnikov aka the last prophet).

    Oh course! Our Creator is a just God and says that even if a father sins, the son will not be held accountable for it and we have many example in the bible, to attest to the truth of this.

    Ezekiel 18:20 KJV — 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.
