Essay: Traditional Religion and Culture

Sample Essay

His deep concern for the poor, and the conscious attempts by Jesus to integrate such ritually marginalized persons as lepers, and other ritually unclean people into the community, was not just to restore these relationships with God, but also to restore the human dignity of the victims.

That may be so in many respects, but there are also aspects of the culture, which Christianity had to ruthlessly resist because of their negative effects on the human person, as created in God’s image. (Ankerberg, et al, 1991)

“The Lord, the Lord God, compassionate and gracious, slow to anger, and abounding in loving-kindness and truth; who keeps loving-kindness for thousands, who forgives iniquity, transgression and sin; yet He will by no means leave the guilty unpunished, visiting the iniquity of fathers on the children and on the grandchildren to the third and fourth generations.” (Ankerberg, et al, 1991)

Reading this verse closely, it means that when your ancestors sinned than as a penalty for their sins, a generational curse will overtake on you from one lifetime to the next until somebody arrives along and breaks this generational curse off of you. This generally engages a meeting, or meetings, where the sufferer has to cut into their past to convey up the sins of their ancestors, or the curses they have endured with, in order that now they can be consigned from them. Some use this to call out some demon and other ones even force themselves to “free the demons.” Others shatter the generational curse through some plea equation founded on an unscriptural state that they have arrived up with.
