Sins of the Fathers

We desire the best for our children. We often want them to have better than we had. We try to provide for them. We give them the best food, nice clothes, we shelter them, and we teach them. We want them to have the best possible life. 

The previous articles I hope open the minds of my readers to a new reality. If we want the best for our children and desire to give them the best possible opportunities, then this needs to include giving them the best parents. 

The principles of telegony and Lamarckism are both real, and they both mix. Our choices and actions affect our children and their choices and actions. I believe that all men are responsible before God for their own actions, I do not believe that we can use our ancestry or parents as an excuse to do evil. But I believe that we will carry part of the blame when our choices affect the lives of our children.  

If we have premarital sex, then our children pay part of that price. For a woman, her children carry the genetics of the first man she ever slept with. They will often have his traits. If those traits are bad, and she wouldn't like that, then why did she sleep with someone she did not intend to be the father of her children. For a man, it means that he is fathering children outside his apparent family, whether he likes it or not. So he should only sleep with a woman he would want to be the mother of his children. 

Learn to guard your thoughts and habits. They matter. Give your children the best. And if you've made mistakes, repent and try to do your best. Your positive efforts matter too. If you are faithful and determined, that trait can be passed on. Focus on creating good traits. If we strive to be righteous, it helps us create a better foundation for our children.
