Actually, among the Asians, and therefore the American Indian, there is a genetic quirk that causes alcohol to be assimilated differently into the body than it does in the other human groups. I am hazy on the details as it has been a long time, but it's something about it going to the brain quicker and the person starts to feel 'good' quicker. They get drunk quicker. Hence, it's more sort after and if they aren't careful, they become dependent quicker.
Other sins, such as anger, may be the product of environment or culture. The parent that can't control his or her temper, isn't going to be able to help the child to learn to control his. It's the same thing with selfishness and greed. If they have been raised to believe that anything they want, they can take, they won't change and they will teach by example.
So, in that case, yes, the sins of the father will certainly be passed on generation to generation.
Generational Curses are nothing to be afraid of, they can be broken through the name of Jesus, because "he has come to set the captives free." "Jesus was manifested so that he might destroy the works of the devil."
As Kenneth Hagin always said, Thank God there's DELIVERANCE!!!

So even though his descendants are cursed, he breaks the curse that stated he will never rule. Interesting, sounds more like circular logic. He is G-d because of the prophecy, he can break prophesy because he is G-d.
I don't know about Generational Curses (with capital G and C).
But I have a generational curse of my own.
I was raised by evangelical Christians who taught me that Mormons (and JWs, too) are wrong-minded blasphemers.
I have long since rejected any and all religions, but I'm still more critical of Mormons than probably any other religious group.
Why? They are no less credible to me than any denomination of any religion.
Thanks mom and dad.
As Homer Simpson says, "Kids are great. You can teach 'em to hate what you hate!"
I do not believe in generational curses. I believe in the temporal consequences of sin, but that's as close as I get.
How much did Jesus preach about generational curses? How about the Apostle Paul? Ministries that get all knotted up over Pre-Trib, Post-Trib, Non-Trib, Generational Curses, Deliverance from Demons, etc...are missing the point. Christ born, crucified, and risen--that is the base of what is good in Christian theology. The teaching of generational curses is not a Christ-centered teaching.

Let me make it more clear. Is it possible that he chose not to discuss blood curses because one of his own descendents was told that his blood line was cut off and that none of his seed shall sit on the throne of david? Kind of kills any hope for being the Moshiach....
Look at the geneology of Matthew, then look up a guy named Jeconiah or Jeckonia - I don't know his English name.

What I meant is that suppose X got HIV-infected because he had a lot of unprotected sex with several partners. Would it then not be selfish not to warn others of the dangers of having unprotected sex?
Either you care more about the life of others and warn them or you care more about your shame (or stupidity) and say nothing about being HIV infected. In my opinion caring more about yourself by hiding your shame or stupidity is selfish.
