I agree that God doesn't punish us for the sins of our parents.

I'm not so sure that these weaknesses which are often learned behavior traits passed down from generation to generation are broken by the blood.

The blood brings about cleansing and forgiveness but the weaknesses are inherent ..... overcome by living and walking in the Spirit .... not giving into the flesh.

good job d4t, i agree the new covenant passages are some of my faves in the bible, my natural father was a horrible alcoholic to say the least, i have never touched the stuff, just because they do and did doesnt mean we have to, by the way none of my brothers and sisters, 7 of us have ever had a problem with drinking, dt
