Hello Everyone in this Amazing community
I hope we all are having a great Week
Today's prompt is one of the most profound and complex topics this week.
The idea of wether the SINS Of the fathers or parents to be inflicted on the offspring is widely debated in various religions and cultures.
It is in Human nature to love and hate, to fight and come to peace. To be hurt and to hurt someone. Also forgiveness is also widely practiced but not in all cases.
In fact people go as far as Inflicting punishment on people and their generation to come . As if that wasn't enough they go for the generation of the unborn too.
I know most of the readers might not believe in Curses but it's one of the most popular diabolical things people or a group of people do to a person or another set of people. This is nothing new at all, it has been happening even since the olden days. We can see many examples where people are being punished like that in the Bible and some other religions.
I remember a true life event of a lady, Her name was Faith, she stays around our Area. Sister faith is an easy going lady, she is very kind, softhearted, hardworking and beautiful. She is so endowed that even sometimes I do have crush on her. She was in her late thirties, but the strange fact was that she doesn't have any body coming to ask her out, not even telling her any thing about marriage.
She came for a family of five, She was the 4th born, they are four Girls and one Boy.
All of Her sisters are not yet married too, all I heard about them was that whenever they marry anyone, the husbands dies mysteriously or Just run away with no particular reasons. I can even bet most of them have Hit their menopause considering their age.
That time I attended Christ Apostolic Church in Lagos. The Church is known for their praying and strict Christian practices. She visited our church during a crusade and it was revealed by the prophet on that day of the program that there is a curse running in that lady's family because of their Parents; that all of the children won't marry and also that they are marked for death at a specific age.
The Good news was the church had a special deliverance service for the family and the Evil curses was broken.
All this revelation was so scary to me listening, I can't even imagine what was running in her Mind during the time the prophet was revealing the revelation.
There Were many questions I was rhetorically Asking like:
How can people be that wicked to do this kind of thing?
What did they gain from inflicting such astronomical evil?
Why are people this Wicked?
What exactly have the forefathers of this lady done so to deserve this kind of harsh punishment?
I know nobody can answer me, but to me it is a big No to inflict punishment on a person's generation. For God sake none of those unborn offspring know about what must have happened. Let the parents face the Due repercussions of their actions, leave the children out of it, except the children are perpetrators of the same acts.
In conclusion: I will never support Generational Punishment. The practice is very evil and unethical, let the parents that engaged in any punishable act face the wrath but let their children be.
Thanks so much for reading and the beautiful comments ❤️
Do have a very great Week
