Free will and generational curses.

Do you think generational curses do exist or its a false doctrine? Generational Curses

I know they exist. I have a spiritual issue which I have had since my childhood, which I have learned came from my father dabbling in the new age.

Is it a punishment? I read somewhere it isnt punishment-its just spiritual laws.

It is a punishment to the Father. For me, it is a consequence of my fathers sin. I didn't do anything to deserve it, but because of my father hating God and disobeying Him, I was afflicted. Thankfully the Lord had mercy upon me and saved me; if He hadn't I would have been completely lost forever. Because of this affliction, my delusion was very deep when I was living in the world. Although all lost people are totally lost, I feel I was more lost than most. I ended up getting into the new age myself, and it was natural to me. I intuitively understood it from the get-go, and spiritual things were happening which confirmed everything about it. It was deep, deep darkness. I thought I was in the light, and that is why I understand this scripture so well:

Matthew 6:23

But if your eye is evil, your whole body will be full of darkness. If then the light within you is darkness, how great is that darkness!

Is a generational curse God giving permission to spirits to tempt the people involved?

I think it could be many different things. The word says He visits the sins of the father, so it depends on what those sins are. I know that for me, one of those sins was my dad dabbling in the new age.

Do generational curses exist? Easy to prove they do, don't women still suffer pain through child birth? Don't snakes still crawl on their bellies? Don't we still have to till the earth?

I had a friend born with spinabiffida and his brother born with cetebal palsey, all because their parents continued to do heroin throughout the pregnacies. When I first met him before I brought him to the Lord he was into witchcraft. Now, would you say he was not responsible for his turning to witchcraft because he was under a generational curse? No, he was responsible for his own actions, including coming to Christ. Just because he had to suffer what others do not does not mean he is not responsible.

The bible tells us that God will not tempt us with more than we can handle and leave a way out. My friend took that way out and came to Christ.

I was born with bipolar disorder and had a difficult childhoid. Does that mean I am not responsible for my actions? No, I have to struggle with mental illness and an addictive personality, yet I am not a drunkard, anymore.

Everyone in the world has some excuse to sin. Work is hard, my wife cheats on me, I am poor, I am too short, I am too tall, I gain weight easily, my life us easy so I'm pridrful, etc... Each of us must fight our own personal demons either of spirits or circumstance.

We may consider it unfair that we have such and such a problem/curse when others do not, but truth he told each of us has others do not have to deal with.
