I don’t know

Today my husband taught on Repentance, it seems to be a theme this week. I won’t get in that here because I am going to be held accountable. I just know I got a lot of praying to do, for someone. Well I was in the nursery today during service, and hubby hadn’t let me read his sermon like he sometimes does, so when I was asked a question I didn’t know how to respond. It is hard to know how to respond to question when you have missed the sermon, would be like trying to answer question on
prenatal vitamins and knowing nothing about them and deciding not to read anything on the label. Well the question I was asked is when G-d is describing His self to Moshe, and talks about judging those who hate him until the third and fourth generation. She had a question about this and I couldn’t give her a answer. Part of the reason why I didn’t know where my hubby was talking from, I know in the liturgy we say this to but it also talks about the blessing or loving of those who love him. G-d is slow to angry he is compassionate which is what he describes Himself as, he is loving and will wait for us, but then there comes a time when we have simply strayed too far. A question I often hear is G-d going to hold the third and fourth generation for the sins of the parents, or grandparents. I think No because of other passages in the Torah and new covenant scripture where G-d shows healing for those who have been harmed by sins of their for father. I believe when we make a choice to follow G-d and allow him in that he will forgive us. However I do believe sometimes we need to ask him to remove generational things. Some sins are ingrained in us from a early age, and we need to decide not to do them. So what did my hubby say during the sermon I have no clue, but I know it was a good message all of his messages have been good.
