Joe: Alright, so what do we got for Ezekiel 18?

Bible Expert: Well, Ezekiel 18 is a chapter in the Old Testament that is all about the sin of the father and the son. It's saying that each person is responsible for their own sins, and that the sins of the father are not visited upon the son.

Joe: Whoa, so it's saying that the sins of the father don’t have to be paid for by the son?

Bible Expert: That's right Joe, it's saying that each person is responsible for their own sins, and they will be judged on their own merits. It also talks about the importance of repentance and turning away from sin in order to be forgiven.

Joe: Interesting, so who is this Ezekiel guy anyway?

Jamie: Hold on, I'm Googling it. (After a few moments) Okay, according to Wikipedia, Ezekiel was a prophet in the Hebrew Bible. He was active during the 6th century BC, during the Babylonian Exile of the Jewish people.

Joe: Wow, so this is a pretty old book we're dealing with here.

Bible Expert: That's right Joe. The book of Ezekiel is full of important lessons about sin, repentance and judgment, and it's still applicable to us today.
