Visiting punishment for Sin upon children?

I am more concerned about truth, justice and respect for others. Acts 17:11 comes to mind.

What does this....

11 Now these were more noble than those in Thessalonica, in that they received the word with all readiness of the mind, examining the Scriptures daily, whether these things were so. Acts 17

... have to do your inability to provide a Biblical example of God visiting the sins of the fathers upon the children unto the fourth generation?

You're deflecting. At the least you should show why Vanology rejects the idea that God visited the sins of the fathers upon the children of Israel for the evil they did to Joseph. The example fits, perfectly.

Why did God warn that very 'fourth' generation, that had just been liberated from bondage, four times about the generational curse? Wasn't it to warn them not to do the same to their progeny?

It means when I tried to validate your claim, I could not determine that your claim was so. So I asked you but you seem unable to support the claim. So now you ask me a question that is a given, since if God says He visits the sins of the fathers to the fourth generation, He does. God is trustworthy.

I see yet another post running from the topic, but instead foisting hatred toward those who hold differing views.

Here is what is implied to be a horrible understanding of scripture: . So now you ask me a question that is a given, since if God says He visits the sins of the fathers to the fourth generation, He does. God is trustworthy.
