If the father of a thousand generations committed a sin, is it just to demand that the present generation should suffer the consequences thereof? There are other questions and evidences to be considered. Adam's sin was not the sin of His posterity, especially as Adam is a thousand generations back of the man today. Granted the father committed a wrong, what was the wrong committed by the son? There is no connection between the two. Could we conceive of the Divinity, Who is Justice itself, inflicting punishment upon the posterity of Adam for Adam's own sin and disobedience? Even if we should see a governor, an earthly ruler punishing a son for the wrongdoing of his father, we would look upon that ruler as an unjust man.
