Ezekiel 18:1-4 was quoted in Part 1 of this series and is shown below to maintain context.
“The word of the Lord came to me again, saying, ‘What do you mean when you use this proverb concerning the land of Israel, saying: “The fathers have eaten sour grapes, and the children’s teeth are set on edge”? ‘As I live,’ says the Lord God ‘you shall no longer use this proverb in Israel. Behold, all souls are Mine; the soul of the father as well as the soul of the son is Mine; the soul who sins shall die.’” Ezekiel 18:1-4.
It is amazing how God is blamed for all the horror we see around us, even among Christians who should know better. Even people who acknowledge a real personal devil believe this; furthermore, the devil himself is sometimes seen as the victim.
In “Does God Judge the World Today? Part 1” posted on 3-14-24 we examined just a few of the warnings that God issued to the Israelites before the severe judgment of removing them from their homeland.
