nah no Disney movie. I just didn't write about the bad stuff. I'd rather think of the things I'm thankful for. :)
I could talk for hours about all the crimes and bad stuff just on my block of the street, but then it's like "oh man this is making me depressed." I usually start whistling the darth vader song and act happy go lucky to tease someone if they start going on and on about how bad the economy or whatever is lol.

Why do we have to all be sinners because Adam and Eve sinned? Why did they have to determine everything for everyone? Makes no sense :confused:
I don't think we are responsible for anyone's sin but our own.

Yeah that is true. This is one of the reasons I'm not sure if I trust psychology because they always seem to say that all our problems are someone else's fault instead of our own. That just leads to blaming others for things, something I tend to do alot. Anyways I'm getting off topic again.

Deuteronomy 24:16
(16) The fathers shall not be put to death for the children, neither shall the children be put to death for the fathers: every man shall be put to death for his own sin.

Looks like we have a contradiction, because somebody doesn't like context.


Deut. 5:9 You shall not bow down to them or worship them; for I, the LORD your God, am a jealous God, punishing the children for the sin of the fathers to the third and fourth generation of those who hate me...

If you read both texts one says
"
punishing the children for the sin of the fathers to the third and fourth generation of those who hate me"
This does not say each generation of children are put to death for the sin of the father.

While the other says
Deuteronomy 24:16
(16) The fathers shall not be put to death for the children, neither shall the children be put to death for the fathers: every man shall be put to death for his own sin.
