Still looking for the mentioned Biblical reference to this happening or even where it was mandated will be fine. The more verses, the better

The act in question is punishing people three or four generations down the line for the sins of their ancestors.
Do you not know your own bible?
Yes.
Since the question is yours, I thought it best you bring to the table exactly what you are referring to in order to minimize chance of confusion. Thanks for going to the trouble.
To help get the ball rolling for those that are asking this and haven't gone to bed yet, and before we get into it any further, may I suggest you take into consideration all verses in their entirety, pay special attention the the terms "hate me" and "guilty" and their context, as well as general context of the verses as they relate to the verses before and/or after those cited. If you have anything aside from the verses themselves you would like to point out now, please do.
Feel free to get started if you have comments. If not, hang in there and I'll comment further.
I already answered that question.If it's not moral for humans to do it, then why is it moral for god to do it?
Is it immoral and an abuse of authority for a judge to sentence someone to death because we can't go around killing people who we see fit?I would call that immoral and an abuse of authority.
But, it's ok, because he is God.

The question was not for you. You have already made your opinion known. But since you are responding: Do you believe that a Judge who sentences someone to death is a immoral person?Yep.
I already answered that question.
Waiting with baited breath.Yes.

Because authority is the key difference between God and man. The reason why a judge is able to sentence someone to death and we cannot is the exact same reason why God can do things that would be immoral for man to do.This has what to do with the post I commented on?

Let's try a different approach. Why do we not allow human cloning and genetically cross-breeding human DNA with animals. It is because many (including atheists) believe it to be immoral. It is described as an attempt to "play God" by acting outside our authority as humans and undermining the authority of nature.
How so? Please explain.Doesn't change my original point.
If God can do things (just because he is God) and they are excused and or explained away, that is an immoral and bankrupt theology - IMO.
It is morally bankrupt because it is immoral and abuse of authority...is that correct?Answered in previous post.

Even in the judge example, the morality or immorality of handing out a death sentence has nothing to do with the authority of the judge.
Simply put....yes. If you have a problem with that you can take that up with Him on judgement day. What does morality mean? Doing anything that fulfills God's will is good, anything that does not is bad.And who gives god the authority, himself? If so, then basically what you're arguing is whatever god decides to do by default is moral. If that's the case, then what does morality even mean?
I don't think it's immoral because we're trying to play god, I think it's immoral because of the effect it might have on the creature we create. It's a virtual guarantee they'd have a myriad of genetic problems, and who knows what the psychological effects would be.
