When you sanction a country, every Citizen of that country pays dearly for the actions of their Goverment even without being directly responsible for the actions of their Goverment. THE SIN OF ADAM IS A "FEDERAL SIN".

how can the sin of 1 man be federal.if for instance I commit and was sentenced to life imprisonment,,will it be just to also sentence my son who knows nothing about the crime
Not just my son but my entire generations..what kind of justice is that?
Adam isn't a COUNTRY but a man

The Bible says, “Sin entered the world through one man, and death through sin, and in this way death came to all men, because all sinned” (Romans 5:12). It was through Adam that sin entered the world. When Adam sinned, he immediately died spiritually—his relationship with God was broken—and he also began dying physically—his body began the process of growing old and dying. From that point on, every person born has inherited Adam’s sin nature and suffered the same consequences of spiritual and physical death.

We are born physically alive but spiritually dead. This is why Jesus told Nicodemus, “You must be born again” (John 3:7). Physical birth provides us with a sinful human nature; spiritual rebirth provides us with a new nature, “created to be like God in true righteousness and holiness” (Ephesians 4:24).

It may not seem fair to be saddled with Adam’s sin nature, but it’s eminently consistent with other aspects of human propagation. We inherit physical characteristics such as eye color from our parents, and we also inherit their spiritual characteristics. Why should the passing on of spiritual traits be any different from the transmission of physical traits? We may complain about having brown eyes when we wanted blue, but our eye color is simply a matter of genetics. In the same way, having a sin nature is a matter of “spiritual genetics”; it’s a natural part of life.

However, the Bible says we are sinners by deed as well as by nature. We are sinners twice over: we sin because we are sinners (Adam’s choice), and we are sinners because we sin (our choice). “All have sinned and fall short of the glory of God” (Romans 3:23). We are more than potential sinners; we are practicing sinners. “Each one is tempted when, by his own evil desire, he is dragged away” (James 1:14). A driver sees the speed limit sign; he exceeds the limit; he gets a ticket. He can’t blame Adam for that.

“I did not eat the fruit.” True, but Scripture says that we, individually and as a human race, were all represented by Adam. “In Adam all die” (1 Corinthians 15:22). A diplomat speaking at the United Nations may do or say things that many of his countrymen disapprove of, but he is still the diplomat—he is the officially recognized representative of that country.

The theological principle of a man representing his descendants is called “federal headship.” Adam was the first created human being. He stood at the “head” of the human race. He was placed in the garden to act not only for himself but for all his progeny. Every person ever born was already “in Adam,” represented by him. The concept of federal headship is clearly taught elsewhere in Scripture: “One might even say that Levi himself, who receives tithes, paid tithes through Abraham, for he was still in the loins of his ancestor when Melchizedek met him” (Hebrews 7:9-10, ESV). Levi was born several centuries after Abraham lived, yet Levi paid tithes to Melchizedek “through Abraham.” Abraham was the federal head of the Jewish people, and his actions represented the future twelve tribes and the Levitical priesthood.

“I did not eat the fruit.” True, but all sin has consequences beyond the initial wrongdoing. “No man is an island, entire of itself,” John Donne famously wrote. This truth can be applied spiritually. David’s sin with Bathsheba affected David, of course, but it also had a ripple effect that affected Uriah, David’s unborn child, the rest of David’s family, the whole nation, and even Israel’s enemies (2 Samuel 12:9-14). Sin always has undesirable effects on those around us. The ripples of Adam’s momentous sin are still being felt.

“I did not eat the fruit.” True, you were not physically present in the actual Garden of Eden with the juice of forbidden fruit staining the corners of your guilty mouth. But the Bible seems to indicate that, if you had been there instead of Adam, you’d have done the same thing he did. The apple, as they say, doesn’t fall far from the tree.

Whether or not we think it’s “fair” to have Adam’s sin imputed to us doesn’t really matter. God says that we have inherited Adam’s sinful nature, and who are we to argue with God? Besides, we are sinners in our own right. Our own sin probably makes Adam look like a puritan in comparison.

Here’s the good news: God loves sinners. In fact, He has acted to overcome our sin nature by sending Jesus to pay for our sins and offer us His righteousness (1 Peter 2:24). Jesus took the death that was our penalty upon Himself, “so that in him we might become the righteousness of God” (2 Corinthians 5:21). Note the words “in him.” We who were once in Adam can now be in Christ by faith. Christ is our new Head, and “in Christ all will be made alive” (1 Corinthians 15:22).

Ezekiel18;20-The one who sins is the one who will die. The child
will not share the guilt of the parent, nor will the
parent share the guilt of the child. The righteousness
of the righteous will be credited to them, and the
wickedness of the wicked will be charged against
them.

Deut. 24:16 Fathers shall not be put to
death for their children, nor children put to
death for their fathers; each is to die for
his own sin.

Jer. 31:29-31 "In those days people will no
longer say, 'The fathers have eaten sour
grapes, and the children's teeth are set on
edge.' Instead, everyone will die for his
own sin; whoever eats sour grapes--his
own teeth will be set on edge. "The time is
coming," declares the LORD, "when I will
make a new covenant with the house of
Israel and with the house of Judah."

You've not come across these ones right..how do you explain this contradiction

The only thing i have taken from the conversation so far is that the bible is full of contradiictory information.

Ezekiel says clearly God does not punish the sons for their fathers’ sins, but that “the soul who sins shall die [for its own sins].” However, in Exodus 20:5 we are informed that God visits “the iniquity of the fathers on the children to the third and fourth generations.” These seem flatly contradictory.
SOLUTION: Ezekiel is speaking of the guilt of the father’s sin never being held against the sons, but Moses was referring to the consequences of the fathers’ sins being passed on to their children. Unfortunately, if a father is a drunk, the children can suffer abuse and even poverty. Likewise, if a mother has contracted AIDS from drug use, then her baby may be born with AIDS. But, this does not mean that the innocent children are guilty of the sins of their parents.
Further, even if the Exodus passage implied that moral guilt was somehow also visited on the children, it would only be because they too, like their fathers, had sinned against God. Noteworthy is the fact that God only visits the iniquities of “those who hate” Him (Ex. 20:5), not those who do not (see also comments on Rom. 5:12).

what do you mean bY GUILT when the verese clearly states that "the son will not be punished for the fathers sins and vice versa"
Well we haves seen a lot of people who had HIV when pregnant and their children didn't contact the disease and a lot of people who parents where drunkards but end up doing well in live--from this exceptional cases do you mean the covenant of God did not encompass the entire human generations

What do you mean by inequities of does who hate him does adam hate God? If he doesn't then what is the essence of the adamic sin

It is also in the bible that some of the family members of the MEN OF GOD (e.g noah) were bad people..why in these cases are the father devoted men of God and the sons bad people??

See, let me just summarise those passages for you cos you don't seem to understand me. Only the children who "hate God", and sin themselves, are the ones who are punished, only the wicked and ungodly children who are following the wicked example of their fathers are punished. God shows mercy on the children who love Him and keep his Law even if their Father is Wicked I.e they will not be punished for the sins of their Father.

.the question is are you using actions of isis as a logic to justify the punishment of son for the sins of the father and father for the sins of the son..well, every body except isis know that this act is TERRORISM so are you saying this act of punishing father for son by God in the bible is also terrorism

still conforming to my point the verse is saying in other words "if the father eats a sour grape its his teeth that will go on edge not that of his sons"
The phrase "what mean ye"--is like saying how dear you say that the son will suffer for the sins of the father
You shall not have any occasion to use this proverb in isreal--meaning this kind of act (punishing son for sins of father) isn't ascribable to God and should not be used

That is foolishness. God would never do that. and by the way Adams has been forgiven so there is nothing called Original Sin.
And if it is so. you mean God can not forgive us all until he came to this world directly and die for a sin somebody committed.
