Examination of the Transmission of the Sin of Adultery and its Contamination to Children

Adultery is from the sins that its affections and consequences will affect the child come to being from the sin of its parents. Some of these consequences are the consequences of committing the sin. Thus the very important question about these children is that why they should be affected by results and consequences of a sin which they themselves have no part in it. Are they really sinful? What must we do with the numerous narrations speak of their innate wickedness? If they are really sinful and polluted, this sin is determined and not voluntary; so their situation is encountered with important challenges. By our examination and considering the reasons that denotes to the personal responsibility for acts and their consequences, it is clear that not only an adultery-born person doesn’t inherit his/her parents sin, but also the pollution of this sin is not transmitted to him/her and as a result his free will is not damaged. The only difference between the others and him/her is in possessing an inadequate background and talent that cause his/her more desire to doing sin.
