Being a believer commits our whole life: humility before GOD, sincerity with ourselves and truthfulness toward others.

Exodus 20 states that the iniquity of the fathers may reach the third and fourth generation, while Ezekiel 18 declares that a child shall not bear the iniquity of the father. Is this a contradiction?
