Should the guilt of past sins our parents, or other family members have done, follow us? It would seem that the answer should be no, but how many times in the prophets does God refer back to what sins and idiolatry Israel and Judah had done under previous kings?

How did this opinion of the past and of God’s unfairness come about, what gave it merit, and where is it today?
