Hi this is not a curse but really a truth that is not a law. You see sins like alcohol abuse and incest tend to be repeated by many who grew up in homes where this tool place and often lasting many generation of repeated behavior. The Bible says if anyone is in Christ he is a new creation and old things are passed away. If you look at the book of kings it records the king when his dad died and how old he was when he took the throne. It records if walked in the ways of the LORD and then compares if he followed the path of his father too. Many times there are a few wicked kings in a row and then one rises up and breaks the chain. We are all free to make our choices but the fact is many of our choices will effect the generations to follow. We cannot control the past but are given every promise and the power of the Holy Spirit to live Godly lives and overcome whatever proceeded us to this point. God bless.EDIT: I have removed most of my personal circumtances as I want this to be a theological discussion based on scripture. It is posted in controversal theology for this reason. I am not after advice that I already know. I am not after sympathy.
I am after sound biblical doctrine why this would not apply to Christians.
My reason for saying this is that I have seen it in my life and the lives of other Christians. The reason I believe it can only be a curse from God is because the bible clearly states god will curse people in Exodus 20:5. I have been taught that this doesnt apply to Christians but believe that would make God a liar. I have seen this in my life and situation in other Christians lives that Christians cant explain with their theology that God blesses Christians that could be explained by this verse being applied.
My evidence of it was when I was a teenager I started going to a Christian youth group with a friend and my dad said he did not want me to go to a Christian thing. He said he hated God and when he was saying it he had the most hateful contorted vile look I ever saw on his face (and he often had a hateful look on his face when he beat me up) and spit coming out of his mouth as he said it.
In responding, I would like any scripture that shows that this does not apply to be included. As it is a very specific situation in response to someone hating God the scriptures would need to show this. And if possible, how to break the curse nd move into Gods blessing. I have been a Christian for about 20 years by the way.
