Re: Are we to repent for our ancestors past sins?

It's actually quite logical.
A - my belief system is called "The Bible".
And the gospel is about my sin, not the sin of my ancestors.
Now, I did ask a question that you did not answer, earlier.
Is every generation supposed to ask for forgiveness for the preceeding ones?
In other words, you confess, repent and apologize for the sins of your fathers (and mothers too, I assume).
So, would your children need to do the same, only add you to the list of ancestors?

Seems kind of foolish, doesn't it?
