Message from Luke, found in The Gospel of God’s Love, page 104.
“It may be asked: In what way can the effect of sin upon a person have any injurious effect upon the spirit and soul of their child, that would cause that child to suffer from the sins of its parents? Well, when a child is conceived, gestates and is born, it not only partakes of the physical nature of its parents, but also the qualities and condition of the spirit and soul of the parents.
(When a soul enters an embryo, it attracts a spirit body at that time, and becomes the early stages of a child.*) “The soul comes from the great universe of unincarnated souls, wholly independent of the parents, and is not yet part of the parents condition, as is the physical part of that child. But it is true that the soul is susceptible to and “absorbs” the influence of the spirit and soul of its parents. This influence continues after birth and even unto the third and fourth generations.
“The spirit part of a child is more suseptible to the influence and evil effects of these sins than is its physical body, for the spirit part is the “breeder” of sins, while the body is merely the recipient of the exercise of the sin, and the object of their manifestation. The influence of spirit upon spirit is more extensive and certain than mortals can realize. The results of that influence are not as apparent or known to the consciousness of the succeeding children, or to the respective parents, as people suppose, so they do not become conscious of the fact that such influence is operating upon the spiritual parts of their children.
I must tell everyone who wants to know the truth, that while great and deplorable injury is inflicted upon the bodies, yet greater, more lasting and more grievous injury is inflicted upon the spiritual nature of the children – not only because this nature continues beyond the eatth life, but because humans, not realizing that this nature has been injured, make no attempt to find and apply a remedy.”
*After a soul enters an embryo and becomes the early stages of a person, this soul has fulfilled the purpose for its incarnation – the individualization of its personality. If by accident or design, this fetus becomes aborted, it continues to live in the spirit world and is cared for by loving spirits.” Amen
