Are Absentee Fathers Cursed ?

This is what happens, when we only get it half right. We perish due to a lack of knowledge. The question was whether or not those men who didn't support their kids were cursed. We heard from the Muslims.They put their usual twist on things. To me it amounts to plagiarism of the word. They don't follow Jesus, but they're always quoting him. I always feel like, I've heard this before. Louis Farakahn can't help but be right, he steals from the bible. They always get part of it right, then as usual they veer to the left. Then we heard from the bible thumpers. The lukewarm Christians, conditional followers of God. I've found them to be the most listened too. Especially those looking for an opening. Either to justify themselves, or vilify others. They know just enough scripture to fool those people, that don't really know. They are only concerned with their own salvation, not anyone elses.That's not a Christian attitude. The gospel is for everyone. Then finally we heard from the single mothers. They have first hand knowledge. They are dealing directly with these deadbeat dads. It would be fair to say these women, usually have a biased opinion. They are just making the best of a bad situation. Let's not mistake their experience, for a viable solution. Their actions somehow put them in this position. Finally there were some people who put their personal feelings aside, and dealt with the truth. In regards to the question that was asked, I totally agree. The thing is the scripture used wasn't talking about children, instead about widows.

First let me post the scripture in question. With two verses before, and two verses after. To help us get a better understanding, of this subject.

Passage 1 Timothy 5:6-10:
6But the widow who lives for pleasure is dead even while she lives. 7Give the people these instructions, too, so that no one may be open to blame. 8If anyone does not provide for his relatives, and especially for his immediate family, he has denied the faith and is worse than an unbeliever.
9No widow may be put on the list of widows unless she is over sixty, has been faithful to her husband,[a] 10and is well known for her good deeds, such as bringing up children, showing hospitality, washing the feet of the saints, helping those in trouble and devoting herself to all kinds of good deeds.

Here again we have people trying to apply Godly principles, to ungodly things. We understand what it says about the father. But did we miss the part about the mother?Let's discuss verse 6, where it tells us fornication leads to death. Your first obligation is to your wife, not your children. What about your aunts, uncles and cousins? Not to mention your siblings. They're close relatives too. Are we really our brothers keeper? Everything isn't always material or money motivated. Some things are intangible. Regardless of what some people would have you think. It could be the impression you leave behind, or the example that you set. This scripture applies to everyone. We like to skip about in the bible, picking out those things we like. It's like a carburetor on a car. All those hoses have a purpose. If they didn't, they wouldn't be there.

It is such with life. Everything has it's proper place. Are absentee fathers cursed? Yes they are, but no more than those they leave behind.
