According to Scriptures, Jesus was of the house of a murderous adulterer.

Except that Joseph wasn't actually His father.

Yet Matthew presses the point anyway.

>"The one who sins is the one who will die. The child will not share the guilt of the parent, nor will the parent share the guilt of the child. The righteousness of the righteous will be credited to them, and the wickedness of the wicked will be charged against them." - Ezekiel 18:20

And yet:

Exodus Chapter 20

: You shall not bow yourself down to them, nor serve them. For I the LORD your God am a jealous God, visiting the iniquity of the fathers upon the sons to the third and fourth generation of those that hate me, and showing mercy to thousands of those that love Me and keep My commandments.

: Numbers 14

: The LORD is long-suffering, and of great mercy, forgiving iniquity and transgression, and by no means clearing the guilty, visiting the iniquity of the fathers upon the sons to the third and fourth generation.

: Deuteronomy Chapter 5

: You shall not bow yourself down to them, nor serve them. For I the LORD your God am a jealous God, visiting the iniquity of the fathers upon the sons to the third and fourth generation of those who hate Me, and doing mercy to thousands of those who love Me and keep My commandments.

: Jeremiah Chapter 32

: Ah, Lord Jehovah! You have made the heavens and the earth by Your great power and stretched out arm. Nothing is too great for You. You show loving-kindness to thousands, and repay the iniquity of the fathers into the bosom of their sons after them.

(…and then there is this little thing called the Doctrine of Original Sin…..)

>>11186500

>Original Sin is an Augustinian idea. It's not what the Bible teaches. The Bible taught that Adam was to die. His children inherited DEATH.

Hairsplitting. The Bible also states that death is the result of sin, in essence equating them.

>It is the ever present struggle for comfort and escape from death that creates more sin. Man wants to escape hunger, so he hordes or steals or lives a life of greed.

I don't do any of those things to escape hunger, or for any other reason, and yet I am never hungry. But according to your cosmogeny and teleology, I nevertheless inherit death (and by extension the sin that gave rise to it).

>Man wants to escape into the pleasures of this world so he can ignore death: this creates hedonism and other sins of pleasure. Even rape.

There is really only one sin, and that is theft. All sins and all crimes can be boiled down to theft.

That is all.
