God will not allow one man to bear the burden or sins of another.

 

20. We are told, in the writings of God, that God will not allow one man to bear the burden or sins of another: That is not justice and God deals with mankind justly:  JUDAISM: Deuteronomy: 32:4 “He is the Rock, His work is perfect: for all His ways are judgment: a God of truth and without iniquity, just and right is He.” God is justice! Deuteronomy: 24:16 “The fathers shall not be put to death for the children, neither shall the children be put to death for the fathers: every man shall be put to death for his own sin.” Ezekiel: 18:20 “The soul that sinneth, it shall die. The son shall not bear the iniquity of the father, neither shall the father bear the iniquity of the son: the righteousness of the righteous shall be upon him, and the wickedness of the wicked shall be upon him.”  CHRISTIANITY: Galatians: 6:5 “For every man shall bear his own burden.”

 ISLAM: 233. “No mother shall be treated unfairly on account of her child, nor father on account of his child.”

(The Qur’an (Yusuf Ali tr), Surah   2)

 164. “Say: ‘Shall I seek for (my) Cherisher other than Allah (God), when He is the Cherisher of all things (that exist)?’ Every soul draws the meed of its acts on none but itself: no bearer of burdens can bear the burden of another. Your goal in the end is toward Allah: He will tell you the truth of the things wherein ye disputed.”

(The Qur’an (Yusuf Ali tr), Surah   6)

 15. “Who receiveth guidance, receiveth it for his own benefit: who goeth astray doth so to his own loss: no bearer of burdens can bear the burden of another: nor would We visit with Our Wrath until We had sent a Messenger (to give warning)”

(The Qur’an (Yusuf Ali tr), Surah 17)

 38. “Namely, that no bearer of burdens can bear the burden of another.”

           (The Qur’an (Yusuf Ali tr), Surah  53)

 ZOROASTRIANISM: “Of Thy wisdom which none can deceive.” “The all-observant Ahura (God) is not to be deceived.” “So they whose deeds are evil, let them be deceived, and let them all howl, abandoned to ruin.”

(Zoroaster, The Zend-Avesta, Avesta – Yasnas 43, 45, and 53)

 “To make someone suffer for the sins of another, even though it be his own father, is not a satisfactory solution it is injustice.” (ZOROASTER, Hymns of Atharvan p. 341)

 HINDUISM: 240. “Single is each being born; single it dies; single it enjoys (the reward of it’s) virtue; single (it suffers the punishment of it’s) sin.”

(Hindu, Laws of Manu chapter 4)

 7. “Let us not suffer for the sin of others, nor do the deed which ye, O Vasus, punish.”

(Hindu, Vedas, Rig Veda – Book 6)

 BUDDHISM: 10. “When he is doing evil, the fool does not realize it. The idiot is punished by his own deeds, like one is scorched by fire.”

(Buddhist, Dhammapada – Sayings of the Buddha 1 (tr. J. Richards))

 “By oneself one does evil. By oneself one is defiled. By oneself one abstains from evil. By oneself one is purified. Purity and impurity are personal matters. No one can purify someone else.” “Oneself indeed is master of oneself, Who else could the other master be? With oneself perfectly trained, One obtains a refuge hard to gain. Lift up your self by yourself; examine your self by yourself. Thus self-protected and attentive you will live joyfully, mendicant. For self is the master of self; self is the refuge of self. therefore tame yourself, like a merchant tames a noble horse.” “The evil, done by oneself, is Self-begotten and self-produced, Crushes the witless one,” so “Fare alone and commit no sin.”

(Buddhist, Dhammapada – Sayings of the Buddha 1 and 3 (tr. J. Richards))

 SABEANISM: “Who will guide me past the watch-house of Sãmïs?” “Your reward, your works, your alms, and your goodness will guide you.” You yourself will be your guide by your very own actions you have performed in this life: “To each according to the works of his hands It is awarded.” “Every man who toiled And was long-suffering shall come and take with both hands, But he who did not toil nor endure, Standeth empty in the House of Dues.” (Sabeanism, The Song)

 BABI RELIGION: “Every individual must bear his own responsibility, rather than someone else bearing it for him.”

(The Bab, Selections from the Writings of the Bab, p. 89)

BAHA’I FAITH: “God (glorious is His mention) saith: ‘None shall bear the burden of another.”’

(Bahá’í Faith, Abdu’l-Baha, A Traveller’s Narrative, p. 71)

“The one true God — glorified be His Name!  — hath said: ‘None shall bear the burden of another.”’

(Bahá’í Faith, Baha’u’llah, The Summons of the Lord of Hosts)
