I already knew it was a curse, and have thought about that many, many times. And for those who do not know what I wrote in that other thread below is what I wrote about my family.It totally exists. I have plenty of testimony from myself and others! Someone needs to stand in the gap and repent on behalf of the family line. A Moses or Ezekiel is needed in each family to intercede.
You know how you described your gay family member "coincidences" on your dad's side in the other thread? From what you describe is sounds like either a generational curse/sin. That's just my brother. I understand your reasons for believing otherwise

I have shared this before some years back, I have some cousins who are brothers and sister, and 3 of them are gay, the oldest is a gay male, the girl right after him is a gay woman, and a younger male was also gay while he was alive. Now the oldest one's name is Norman Butter Rollins and Butter's fathers brother is the father to Howard Rollins of The Heat In The Night fame, who is now deceased, but was gay while he was alive, and a sometime cross dresser. I am not saying that this is genetic, but sometimes I and the whole family have thought about it because of Butter and his sister and dead brother, Also Butters mother who is on my side of the family has a brother who is gay, and we have one more gay male on that side of my family. So we have a total of 5 gays on my dad's side of the family.
There's a "blessing" that comes when it's a generational curse or sin. We are able to take authority over it in Jesus' name and overcome it! We are able to stop the sin and cut it off from our family line. I have prayed and asked the Lord to reveal this often to me, I do not want my children suffering from certain sins or temptations that have caused me and my family alot of pain.
I don't believe a loving God would pass curse's onto innocent people of another generation.
I understand bad things happen to good people and it is a mystery to me of why God allows this to happen. However to say the sins of our previous generations are passed to other future generations is a very primitive OT way of thinking.

No one is innocent. We live in a fallen world where sin reigns.
Some are innocent for example a new born baby that dosnt know right from wrong.
So therefore are you trying to say the child is punished from past sins from previous generations. Come on surly not. Jesus didnt only die on the cross for our sins it was to end the old laws.
Its got nothin to with god passing these sins on. Its a ingrained family thing., imprinting from our peersWe see it patterned in life. The Word of God is eternal OT or NT.
Think about it this way:
The Generational Sin of Domestic Violence:
Father A beats Wife A and Son A. Son A grows up to be a Father and beats Wife B and Son B. Son B grows up to be a Father and beats Wife C and Son C. Etc. Etc.
It's not until someone in the line turns (repents) of this sin that freedom is found and it's stopped.
The Generation Sin of Alcoholism or of drugs. The Generational Sin/Curse of "getting pregnant at 16"
The list goes on and on. Life testifies to us that the Bible is Truth.
Some are innocent for example a new born baby that dosnt know right from wrong.

As i already saidNo I am not saying that.
People develop and as they do, they will develop patterns of behaviour that are sinful and that God wants to deal with, that could easily come from their environment, which in turn has also come from the previous generation's environment as well and so on it goes back into ones ancestry.
If my father had been abusive, I would think he could have been abused in his own early life, and I would be risking my own children and theirs if I didn't deal with it now to break that curse in my own generation.
As i already said

Seems like you are in agreement, here, describing exactly what a generational curse is: the passing of a sinful attitude or behaviour from one generation to the next through families.
who is passing the sins on then, satan?I don't think you have the proper understanding of what a generational curse/sin is. It's most certainly not God passing these sins on- that is not it at all
