Generational Curses??

(1/3) > >>

newgene87:
I use to hear this alot in my old church that Christ can break generational "curses", and Ray taught, "if you heard it from church, its probably not true" and i for the most part, believe that. But is Generational Curses scriptural and true? does the "apple dont fall from the tree" SCRIPTURAL. I know there are many "doctines that are commandments of men" so Im seeking the truth on this matter. The only verse I saw that sort of corelates is Lamentations 5:7 - "Our fathers have sinned, and are not; and we have borne their iniquities." But is that what its really teaching? Would appreciate all input.

And to throw this in as well, what does it mean, that Christ "Breaks the yoke" or God will "destroy the yoke in your life". I think its mostly a southern black church lingo so it may go over your heads but i'm just wondering; is this SCRIPTURAL?? or does it even make sense ;D  when i read over it, it doesnt make sense. well thank you all and love you all

Galatians 3:13 but Christ has rescued us from the curse pronounced by the law. When he was hung on the cross, he tookupon himself the curse for our wrongdoing. For it is written in the Scriptures "Cursed is everyone who is hung on a tree"  NLT
I think that if Jesus became the curse for us why would there be a generational curse at all?  Just my thought. Hope this scripture helps

"Generational Curses" in the oogy-boogy sense are christian fantasy.

That isn't to say that the sins of generations preceding us haven't been the cause of many of our own sins, nor that our sins will have no effect on generations after us.  Look around.  You can see it everywhere.  That's the 'generational' part.  The 'curse' part Jesus took care of, as Greg pointed out from scripture.

Joel:
Jeremiah 31:29
In those days they shall say no more, The fathers have eaten a sour grape, and the children's teen are set on edge.

God makes it pretty clear in Ezekiel 18 how he looks at this topic, and gives a lot of examples to think about. I hope that helps.
