Okay, so I'm sure most of us are familiar with generational/family curses (i.e. generational poverty, alcoholism, out of wedlock births, etc.). Generational curses are numerous.
My question is kind of a hypothetical one. For example (I'll use myself). Let's say I "started" a generational curse by the way I lived. However, what if I don't have children? Could this generational curse still be passed down to my nieces/nephews (right now, I only have one niece), or will it die with me?
The reason I ask is because in the bible whenever God is talking about generational curses, He always says cursed are your children and their children's children, etc. I can't recall reading where it says that other family members are cursed too. So, for example, if Uncle Leroy started the generational curse of alcoholism or poverty, most likely his children and their descendants will have to break that curse. However, if Uncle Leroy never had children, could his nephew Joe (example) "catch the curse?" even if Joe's father John was able to not ever start a curse?
I hope this makes sense. This question just kind of popped into my head!
