Sin
Barney asks:
"Is ‘Sin’ literally passed from one generation to the
next in genetic DNA?"
Jim's reply:
I would like to know why you think that would be
possible, Barney.
The truth of the matter is that the "fruit" of the sin may be passed on to the
following generations as physical deformaties, a tendency to acquire certain
deseases, and certain mental disabilities, where incest is involved. Should the
offspring then continue this history of incest with future generations, results
in an increasingly greater the chance of those offspring developing he active
demonstration of those genetic weaknesses/traits.
Here is another scenario:
If a father contracts AIDS through sin, passes it on to his wife, they conceive
a child together, and the child is born with AIDS ......... well, the child is
guilty of nothing (as is the wife), but does suffer the fruit (AIDS viral
infection) of the father's sin. This child IS NOT condemned to "hell". Read
this:
Ezek 18:19-22
19 Yet say ye, Why? doth not the son bear the iniquity of the father? When the
son hath done that which is lawful and right, and hath kept all my statutes, and
hath done them, he shall surely live.
20 The soul that sinneth, it shall die. The son shall not bear the iniquity of
the father, neither shall the father bear the iniquity of the son: the
righteousness of the righteous shall be upon him, and the wickedness of the
wicked shall be upon him.
21 But if the wicked will turn from all his sins that he hath committed, and
keep all my statutes, and do that which is lawful and right, he shall surely
live, he shall not die.
22 All his transgressions that he hath committed, they shall not be mentioned
unto him: in his righteousness that he hath done he shall live. KJV

Granted! In the above example, both the wife and the child suffer for this man
who sinned .... all three will die physically ..........
BUT
If all three of these individuals believe on Christ and accept Him as their
Savior, they will receive eternal life after the death of their flesh bodies.
