                         Biblical Curses

Some today teach and/or believe that requirements of the old Testiment no longer apply. However, Jesus said in Matthew 5:17, �Do not think that I have come to abolish the Law or the Prophets: I have not come to abolish them but to fulfill them. I tell you the truth, until heaven and earth disappear, not the smallest letter, not the least stroke of a pen, will by any means disappear from the Law until everything is accomplished. Anyone who breaks one of the least of these commandments and teaches others to do the same will be called least in the kingdom of heaven, but whoever practices and teaches these commands will be called great in the kingdom of heaven. For I tell you that unless your righteousness surpasses that of the Pharisees and the teachers of the law, you will certainly not enter the kingdom of heaven.�

There are over 60 Biblical curses that cause physical, mental, spiritual, emotional, and/or psychological problems for both the violator and his/her decendents. Curses may fall on violator's descendents to the third and fourth generation (see Exodus 20:5 and 34:7, Leviticus 26:40, Numbers 14:18, Deuteronomy 5:9 and 23:2, Nehemiah 9:1-2, and 2 Chronicles 29:1-11 and 34:19-21).
