and others' wrong approach, before you abandon your harmful approach, which doesn't heal, but fosters more discontent and hostility?

"Behold, all souls are Mine;
The soul of the father
As well as the soul of the son is Mine;
The soul who sins shall die.
...
“Yet you say, ‘Why should the son not bear the guilt of the father?’ ... The soul who sins shall die.
The son shall not bear the guilt of the father, nor the father bear the guilt of the son. The righteousness of the righteous shall be upon himself, and the wickedness of the wicked shall be upon himself."
Let me help you out: "Yet you say, ‘Why should the son not bear the guilt of the father?’"
Because Almighty God said so. End of discussion. The matter is settled in heaven, and you need to heed the warning from 1 Samuel 15, about refusing to obey the word of God:
"And Saul said to Samuel, “But I have obeyed the voice of the Lord, and gone on the mission on which the Lord sent me, and brought back Agag king of Amalek; I have utterly destroyed the Amalekites. But the people (blame shifting) took of the plunder, sheep and oxen, the best of the things which should have been utterly destroyed, to sacrifice to the Lord your God in Gilgal.”
So Samuel said:
“Has the Lord as great delight in burnt offerings and sacrifices,
As in obeying the voice of the Lord?
Behold, to obey is better than sacrifice,
And to heed than the fat of rams.
For rebellion is as the sin of witchcraft,
And stubbornness is as iniquity and idolatry.
Because you have rejected the word of the Lord,
He also has rejected you from being king.”
Enough!
