    Do We Pass Our Sins on to Our Kids? | Ask Dr. Betters

    In this episode, Dr. Betters answers the question, "Hi Dr. Betters, God has guided me recently to your videos, as He has other good ministries over the years, and because of them I have grown spiritually and owe much thanks to Christian brothers and sister and their gifts of the Holy Spirit. I have two questions. Are sins of the mother or father carried on into the next generations, and, if so, could there be much more immorality because of it? And do people, especially Christians, that treat another Christian brother or sister unfairly or even cruelly reap what they sow either now or in eternity? If not repented to God and asking forgiveness to the person that they have hurt or unfairly judged? Thank you. I have been a born-again Christian for 48 years; there has been rocky roads along the way, but with God's help I have kept the faith. God bless and thank you."

    How Can We Save Our Loved Ones? | Ask Dr. Betters

    In this episode, Dr. Betters answers the question, "Hi, my brother grew up Christian, and went to college to be a pastor. During those years he struggled with alcoholism. He prayed to God to help him conquer that, but he felt betrayed by God because he struggled with it for many more years and even gave up trying to preach. He now says that he doesn't even believe in God because if He really existed, He would have taken that from him. He then takes it further and says he can't believe in a God who lets children and babies and even adults suffer, all the while keeping their neighbors safe. How can I try and bring him back to God other than praying for him?"
