“Wherefore, a commandment I give unto you, which is the word of God, that ye revile no more against them because of the darkness of their skins; neither shall ye revile against them because of their filthiness; but ye shall remember your own filthiness, and remember that their filthiness came because of their fathers.”
- Matthew 7:3-4)
Cast the beam out of your eye and then you'll be able to see motes in other's eyes...”
How many people could we say that about? "The sons of their fathers" covers everybody!
All of us—every single person born on this Earth, is a son or a daughter to imperfect parents (excluding Jesus Christ), and to one degree or another we are brought-up and taught by imperfect parents who, regardless of their desires/wants/wishes/efforts, are raising us in an imperfect world, and thus, will pass-on their own traits of the natural man (Mosiah 3:19) in their parenting!
