blood line

[kenrank]

We're getting a bit derailed here, folks - putting my Mod hat on - could the OP or someone please explain what is meant by "praying the bloodline"? That never seems to have been addressed.

Mostly my fault! You have been a fair moderator, even though you look a lot like a cartoon.

I just searched The Scriptures, KJV, Literal Version, Good News Bible, Young's Literal, and the Analytical Translation, and the word "bloodline" does not appear in the bible. I don't have the ever popular NIV in my bible program, so somebody might want to check it. it would seem though, if it isn't in The Scriptures, the KJV, or the Literal Version....if it is in the NIV or NASB, it is probably a word that could have been better translated as something else.

Peace.

In real life too!!!!!!

In real life too!!!!!!

Sorry to hear that.

Though, to be fair, I'm donating my body to science fiction...

ken--I guess I'm encouraging us to avoid formulaic thinking. In the flesh, we of course all inherit Adam's sin. And in the flesh, it is of course natural for children to emulate and so "inherit" their parents' actions--both good and bad. But in the Spirit (and the plan of salvation) anyone can become a new creation at any time. This we have all seen.

(Hmm..hope I didn't just outline a new formula...).

Let me see if I can touch a little bit on what you all have been talking about. Even though the original OP is not answered as asked. And it might not be that we even have to explain something that is not biblical.

The story with Moses and Pharaoh , "let my people go" .

Pharaoh's heart was hardened, and because of his heart, his sin of a hardened heart fell upon his son, and he died. The plaque that fell upon the house of Pharaoh fell also upon his son, who did no wrong, but received of the wrong of his father.

Maybe we can take this point from this understanding.

Sig, we are saying the same thing, just using different words. It may be that the Tanach references to the curse passing on "until" one breaks the mold and turns to righteousness, is a type of how all of us are born under the curse of death caused by Adam's sin. We can break free of that curse at anytime by simply doing what Messiah said to do, "repent, for the Kingdom of heaven is at hand."

Mysteryman...welcome to the thread. I think you caught the gist quickly, the "prayer through the bloodline" isn't in scripture. I had posted a couple of days ago, maybe yesterday, that the word, "bloodline" is not in scripture. So I am really not sure how to approach an answer to the question.

Thank you

If the OP meant "lineage" which also means "geneology" line, then I would more fully understand what that poster meant.

Luke 2:4 has the word "lineage" in the verse , which means parental descent.

I believe that the OP was hinting in this direction, but I can not be absolutely sure.
