AFAIK, in 1860 about 20% of families in the slave states owned slaves. Lots of those were probably relatively poor farmers - slaves or no, small farmers in the 19th century weren't that wealthy. Also, since when does the Christian god condemn entire family lines? Is slavery even forbidden by the bible?

Punishing descendants is absolutely a part of the bible. Women experiencing pain during childbirth is supposedly a punishment for Eve eating the forbidden fruit.

Yeah, she really shouldn't have listen to the snake. Women could have been giving birth like a giraffe: Just standing there, muching on a snack while the baby just falls out.

For some biblical figures really far back, yes, but as a punishment for normal (real) people?

[-] brotundspiele@sh.itjust.works 3 points 13 hours ago

Women are normal (real) people, I believe.

[-] rumschlumpel@feddit.org 2 points 11 hours ago

According to the bible, Eva is the literal second human and first woman and IIRC lived for hundreds of years, so no, she's not normal or real.

But the millions of women who suffer from pain during birth on her behalf are normal and real.

In the Jewish part of Bible there are passages about kinda inheriting sin as something you need to do something about (e.g. Cain and his lineage). But even there its not straightforward inheritance. With the New Testament in mind the post is even more bogus.

Not one jot or tiddle of the old law will be gotten rid of until Jesus comes back during end times. So said Jesus. Green text is on point.
