Good Morning,
I just finished up reading Chapter 2 (The 2nd Commandment) within James Durham's A Practical Exposition of the Ten Commandments. (Sidenote: Buy the Book Today!)
One of the things Durham spends some time on towards the end of the chapter regards the promise/curse our Lord attaches to the 2nd Command. In this section he encourages and even comes to requiring that part of the duty of a Christian is to be aware and even confess the sins of our predecessors. Exodus 20:4-6
Durham pg. 97 on ways we can be guilty:
"(9) In not being humbled before God for the sins of predecessors, nor confessing them to him (as Lev. 26:40)"
1. How do we compare this with the modern call today for many American's to repent of American Slavery?
2. What does a healthy outworking of the principle Durham is getting at look like today?
