Let’s Not Blame People For What Their Ancestors Did
Transcript:
Moses says, “Fathers shall not be put to death because of their children, nor shall children be put to death because of their fathers. Each one shall be put to death for his own sin.” Bryan Fischer here with the Life and Liberty Minute. It is unjust and unbiblical to blame one generation for the sins of another. The Bible is clear that no one is to be held accountable for what his father did - he should only be held accountable for what he himself has done. And yet today grievance warriors routinely assign guilt to people today for things that were done by their ancestors 400 years ago. This must stop. It is a terribly divisive habit that will tear our cultural fabric beyond repair if it continues. If a man today is truly racist, he should be held to account for that, but not for the racism of his ancestors. That is the path of peace and reconciliation.
