Deuteronomy 24:16, “Fathers shall not be put to death for their sons, nor shall sons be put to death for their fathers everyone shall be put to death for his own sin.”.No, they don’t bear the sins of the fathers.

15:22, “For as in Adam all die, so also in Christ all shall be made alive.” Exodus 34:6-7, “Then the Lord passed by in front of him and proclaimed, “The Lord, the Lord God, compassionate and gracious, slow to anger, and abounding in lovingkindness and truth 7who keeps lovingkindness 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.”.Deuteronomy 5:9, “You shall not worship them or serve them for I, the Lord your God, am a jealous God, visiting the iniquity of the fathers on the children, and on the third and the fourth generations of those who hate Me,”.Exodus 20:5, “You shall not worship them or serve them for I, the Lord your God, am a jealous God, visiting the iniquity of the fathers on the children, on the third and the fourth generations o those who hate Me,”.It just takes looking and reading to figure things out. Ultimately, the Bible has no internal contradiction. So which is it? The answer lies, as always, in examining the context of the statements. In one area of Scripture, it appears that a son will bear the sins of his father, yet in other areas, it seems that that is not the case.
