21:19) but God’s blessings can be for many generations or forever. Blessings can
               last for a thousand generations (Deut 7:9).  The is no automatic affliction of
               subsequent descendants, i.e. no 'innocent' so-called (Rom 3:10) suffers under God
               (2 Kings 14:6).  What is seen however is a person’s dynamic and continual
               interaction with God’s process of Charity under the prime principle as God tries to
               save a man or keep him saved in the mystery of salvation (John 9:3).


               Facets of the holocaust are described (Isaiah 3:18-24), and the world-wide
               persecution of Jews and the horror these events evoked (Jer 29:18).  Other features
               of it are common with such episodes as the tribulations (Jer 16:4, 6).


               All men are under the Law and have always been (Gen 2:17, 3:22, John 7:49, Rom
               2:12-15, 3:10, 19-20, 4:15, 7:1, 14:10, 1 Cor 16: 22, 2 Cor 5:10, Gal 3:10, 13) but
               not necessarily aware of this in their conscious minds (1 Cor 9:21).  The non-
               Christian who does not recognise the Law is still under the Law, although
               consciously unaware of this and is under the obligation to be saved, the Law of
               Christ (1 Cor 9:21). Every man is either under the Law of Christ, but not obeying it
               if unsaved (Mark 16:16), or has fulfilled it if saved as it is Salvation (Rom 8:2, 1
               Cor 9:21).

               It is a sin under the Law to curse as opposed to bless (Rom 12:14). Under the Law
               those that preach error will be cursed by God and we can let such events take their

               course but this is not active cursing by us (Gal 1:8).  Christians can pray that those
               who may be more likely to be saved or remain saved by having an encounter with
               Satan, do so, but this is prayer in the name of and subject to the sovereign will of
               Jesus (1 Tim 1:20).

               Law Of Christ


               This is not the Law from Adam (1 Tim 2:14) through to redemption from the Law
               by Christ (Gal 5:18).  This is instead an expression of salvation through grace
               (Rom 8:2).


               Helping other Christians is a fulfilment of this Law (Gal 6:2) only because this
               work inevitably accompanies Christian faith and is therefore synonymous with it,
               just by being a Christian other Christians are helped (John 13:34, 14:23, 15:4, 12, 1
               Cor 12:14-2, 27, Eph 4:4, Jam 2:17, 22, 26, 1 John 2:9).


               A Christian should only judge himself in the context of attempting to keep the two
               key commandments i.e. he should try and to act in accordance with them and if he
               commits the unforgivable sin he is condemned (Rom 8:1, 1 Cor 11:31, 34).  A
