I came from a home with a few too many dads and moms and those dads and moms did not necessarily live very righteous lives.
If you come from a broken home like mine was, you may have thought you had no hope of God loving you because as far as you knew, God was like your nearest dad.
Do you know how many times I heard “I’m here for your mom, kid, stay outta my way.” ? Enough.
The ‘courts of heaven’ teachers play too loose with the Word of God. If there was any truth to their generational courtroom drama, I’d have never gotten a prayer answered!!
I’d have turned out like my previous generation.
I needed to hear these verses when I was a boy and became a believer. Maybe you do, too.
The actual Bible states:
“But you ask, ‘Why is the son not punished for the father’s sin?’
The son has done what is fair and right.
He obeys all my rules, so he will surely live.
The person who sins is the one who will die.
A child will not be punished for a parent’s sin,
and a parent will not be punished for a child’s sin.
Those who do right will enjoy the results of their own goodness; evil people will suffer the results of their own evil.
“But suppose the wicked stop doing all the sins they have done and obey all my rules and do what is fair and right. Then they will surely live; they will not die.
Their sins will be forgotten. (NOT JUST FORGIVEN, by the way.)
Because they have done what is right, they will live.
(I LOVE this next part about God, our heavenly Father)
I do not really want the wicked to die, says the Lord GOD.
I want them to stop their bad ways and live.” – Ezekiel 18:19-23
If you’ve heard or read the same junk I have from the ‘courts of heaven’ purveyors, cover it, cover them, with the Truth.
If you’re one of them, “stop your bad ways and live.”
