User:AD/Essay:Are You a Good Christian

Do you believe that children should be punished for things their father does wrong? What about their grandfather? Should children be punished for the sins of their great-grandfather? (Exodus 20:5)
 * Like many Bronze Age peoples, the ancient Hebrews believed that guilt was carried in a bloodline. This is why "original sin" was caused by Adam and Eve and passed down, and why the Hebrew god declared that children would suffer for the sins of their fathers.

Do you believe in following the list of commandments that God carved into Stone for Moses? If so, do you keep Passover? (Exodus 34:18)
 * Many Christians distinguish between the different commands given by God in the Old Testament, claiming that some no longer need to be followed, such as the instructions given for sacrifice and keeping kosher. Few Christians think the Ten Commandments should be abandoned, yet the set graven in stone after Moses broke the first set include the commandment to keep the feast of unleavened bread.
