Is God doing it or not.Under what circumstance is it moral or ethical to punish someone for the crimes of their ancestors?
Is God doing it or not.
So do you believe an omnipotent god could have created humans with the ability to choose anything that god deems evil, but without the inclination to ever choose them? Or do you believe that's beyond your god's power?
Seems to me that, at this point, an answer isn't really necessary; your point is made by the lack of an answer.I just said, any person who is not god, which you bolded in your reply to me.
I'm honestly not trying to come off as condescending but I was hoping to come back here and find something a little more thought provoking.
Anyway, I guess the question to the answer would be, would it be wise for him to do so?

If acts that are good for God are not necessarily good for man, where does that leave God as the definition of good and moral exemplar for man? Is there a double standard, a 'do as I say, not as I do'?
Now I will have to apologize. I see where the confusion is. I honestly didn't mean to answer "Yes" on #858. That was my mistake because I was rather busy running errands as I was answering.I just said, any person who is not god, which you bolded in your reply to me.
Let me answer a question with a question. Why do most people consider it wrong to be a vigilante?Lol. Given the content of your posts so far I doubt that I'm going to be insulted by any comment you could possibly make to me...
Actually, the answer to a yes or no question is "yes" or "no". Or "I don't know".
So once again:

Though a convenient expectation if you can pull it off, you aren't gong to be able to make the rules here. Firstly telling anyone how they have to answer a question should send up red flags galore, and secondly, I realized a long time ago, as many of us have, a yes or no might get the questioner what they want but it by no means always or fully answers a question. I've seen that before, how the Atheist wants to make up and dictate the rules of engagement...guess they figure they need the extra edge, or something like that.
Watch any Atheist ask me if God created, and is the fair and good ruler of the universe, and once I answer "yes" see how far that gets me. though I answered the yes or no question, I would be bombarded to go further. I guess the Atheist needs the edge a double standard can provide as well as the leeway to make up rules as they go.
That said, and considering how things are flowing now, I think you're pretty much just dieseling at this point.

No problem.
If so, why is it ok for god to do that?
If you're scared to answer I completely understand, but at least be honest and just say that...
Scared? I'm surprised people still try those tactics.
Yeah man, I'm scared to answer someone that's not on the ball enough to even see their question was answered and I assume expect others to lose track of that fact as well..
Then because they didn't like the answer they insist on trying again and again until they get something/anything that allows them to walk away from the conversation feeling like the have won and so desperately, even a non answer to something that has already been answered will do that for them. So if they can't get their adversary to answer again and again which would be silly, they win, and their reasoning then tells them the questioned is now scared to answer because they themselves must be right, while they pretend to forget the fact they already got the answer.
In truth their desperate tactics to reach their goal, as well as the goal itself is completely ridiculous.
On second thought, I'm terrified...lol
Yes, because there is no laws (that I know of anyway) that gives us the authority to do so. Which is why I brought up vigilantes. You see, some believe vigilantes to be wrong because they are taking justice into their own hands and executing punishments outside their authority to do so.
You realize that everyone here sees that you really haven't answered the question, right? It's not just me.
You can have the last word, but that little world you live in, as in only seeing what you want in spite of what's really there...might want to take a second look at the attic and see if you can clean that up.
I believe what you are talking about is "generational curses". The Bible mentions “generational curses” in several places (Exodus 20:5; 34:7; Numbers 14:18; Deuteronomy 5:9). God warns that He is “a jealous God, punishing the children for the sin of the fathers to the third and fourth generation of those who hate me.”That doesn't really address why god is morally justified in punishing people for crimes their ancestors committed, while it's not morally justifiable for us.
Explain how that one works.
