Notes on Using Spiritual Genograms in Counseling
在輔導中使用心靈基因圖譜的注意事項

• It is important for counselors to be respectful of their counselee spiritual perspectives when using spiritual genograms in counseling.
  在輔導中使用心靈基因圖譜時，輔導員應尊重他們的輔導對象的靈性觀點，這是很重要的。
• They should not assess counselee from their own point of view, but rather understand that the counselee's spirituality is part of their worldview.
  輔導員不應以自己的觀點評估響輔導對象，而應該瞭解到輔導對象的心靈是他們世界觀的一部分。
• A counseling can use probing questions to gather information about the role of religion and spirituality in the family, and how those issues might affect the problems the counselee is facing. 輔導可以使用探索性問題來收集關於宗教和靈性在家庭中的作用的資訊，以及這些問題如何影響輔導對象所面臨的問題。
• Counselors who are not trained in working with spiritual issues may need to consult with colleagues or clergy before using spiritual genograms.
  沒有受過處理心靈問題訓練的輔導員，在使用心靈基因圖譜之前，可能需要向同事或神職人員諮詢。
• Counselor can encourage counselee to connect with family members to gather more information about their family's history. This can help the client to better understand their family and renegotiate relationships in the present.
  輔導員可以鼓勵輔導對象與家庭成員聯繫，以收集更多有關其家庭歷史的資訊。這可以幫助當事人更好地瞭解自己的家庭，並重新調整現有的人際關係。

Sins Leading to Curses 導致咒詛的罪

There are multitude of sins that can lead to curses. These sins often act as open doors in a person's spiritual life, allowing darkness and negative spiritual influences to enter.
有許多罪可以導致咒詛。這些罪通常是一個人心靈中敞開的門(又稱破口)，允許黑暗權勢和負面的靈的影響力進入。

Curses are empowered by Satan and often enforced by demonic entities, principalities, and powers. The sources explain that Satan exploits "open doors" in a person's spiritual hedge, which can be caused by sin, to inflict harm and establish a foothold in their life.
咒詛是由撒旦授權的，通常是由惡魔、執政者和黑暗權勢實施的。撒但利用一個人屬靈籬笆中的「敞開的門」 (可能是由於罪造成的)來造成傷害，並在受咒詛者的生活中建立立足點。

   世代詛咒是由靈界執行的超自然法則，因未悔改的罪而在家族血脈中傳承。

必須重申的是，這份清單並非詳盡無遺。要尋求聖靈的指引，找出可能在你的生命或家族史中造成咒詛的特定的罪。

The Nature and Cause of Generational Sin
世代相傳的罪的本質和原因

Adam and Eve committed what is generally called original sin. Therefore, all the children born to them (and their descendants) inherited sin as a spiritual gene, thereby turning original sin into hereditary sin.
亞當和夏娃犯了一般所說的原罪。因此，他們所生的所有孩子(以及他們的後代)都遺傳了罪的屬靈基因，從而使原罪變成遺傳罪(罪性)。

Subsequently, the whole human race has had the same sinful nature; also, the curse of rejection and the penalty of spiritual death has been passed down through the process of conception and birth.
其後，整個人類都有同樣的罪性；拒絕的咒詛和死亡的刑罰也透過受孕和出生的過程傳了下來。
"Therefore, just as through one man sin entered the world, and death through sin, and thus death spread to all men, because all sinned—
這就如罪是從一人入了世界，死又是從罪來的，於是死就臨到眾人，因為眾人都犯了罪。 羅 Rom 5:12 。
神在耶利米書 Jer. 32:18 中告訴我們：你施慈愛於千萬人，又將父親的罪孽報應在他後世子孫的懷中，是至大全能的神，萬軍之耶和華是你的名。

Cain, as the first naturally-born child, was the first recipient of the "hereditary sin" curse. He was rebellious, argumentative, and disobedient, and did not offer an appropriate sacrifice, as God required. He rejected God and God rejected Cain. Because Cain "belonged to the evil one"
該隱，作為第一個自然出生的孩子，是第一個接受 「遺傳罪 」咒詛者。他悖逆、好爭吵、不聽話，沒有按照神的要求獻上適當的祭物。他拒絕了神，神也拒絕了該隱。因為該隱 「屬於那惡者」。約翰一書 1 John 3:12。

One of the ways Satan harasses us is by sending evil influences through "doors" that are open in our spiritual hedge (refer to Job 1:10 "a fence around") due to sins committed by our ancestors. God tells us this is so in several scriptural passages.
撒旦侵擾我們的方法之一，是透過我們屬靈籬笆中因祖先所犯的罪而打開的 「門」(參約伯記 Job 1:10 「圈上籬笆，圍護」)所開的「門(又稱破口)」，將邪惡的影響傳給我們。神在多處經文中告訴我們是這樣的。

Few would argue with the existence of physical heredity - with the natural process of passing on genes and DNA to our sons and daughters, which results in the tendency of our offspring to possess some of the physical characteristics and nature of their parents and ancestors.
很鮮少有人會質疑身體遺傳的存在 - 將基因和 DNA 傳給我們的兒子和女兒的自然過程，這導致我們的後代傾向於擁有父母和祖先的一些身體特徵和性情。

Few, also, would argue with the existence of hereditary pre-disposition of offspring for the mental problems of their parents (for example, depression, worry, anxiety, mental illness - "soul" reference ).
也很少有人會反駁父母的心理問題(例如，憂鬱症、焦慮症、精神疾病 - 情緒是的「靈魂 」的一部分)對其後代有存在遺傳。

How do we know this? Let's look at a couple of examples from the Bible. 我們是怎麼知道這些事的呢？讓我們看看聖經中的幾個例子。

1. David took (raped) Bathsheba，(2 Sam11:4), and later Amnon，David' s son rapes his sister Tamar. ( 2 Sam 13:14) David' s son Solomon had 1000 wives and concubines (1 Kings 11:3).
   大衛娶了(強姦)拔示巴 (撒母耳記下 2 Sam 11:4)，後來大衛的兒子暗嫩，強姦了他的妹妹她瑪 (撒母耳記下 2 Sam 113:14)。大衛的兒子所羅門有 1000多個妻妾(列王記上 1 King 11:3)。
2. Abraham was a liar. Twice he lied about Sarah being his sister. (Gen 12:13 & Gen 20:2). Isaac lies to Abimelech, king of the Philistines, saying Rebekah was his sister. (Gen 26:7). Jacob and his mother Rebekah lied to Issac in order for Jacob to obtain the blessing. (Gen 27:19). Jacob's ten sons lie to Jacob about Joseph's death. (Gen 37:33)
   亞伯拉罕是個騙子。他曾兩次撒謊說撒拉是他的妹妹。(創世記 12:13 Gen 及創世記 Gen 20:2)。他的獨生兒子以撒對非利士人的王亞比米勒撒謊，說利百加是他的妹妹 (創世記 Gen 26:7)。他的孫子雅各(後來改名叫以色列，他的後裔便是以色列族(太 Matth 1∶2;創世記 Gen 32∶28))和他的母親利百加為了讓雅各獲得祝福，騙了以撒。(創世記 Gen 27:19)。雅各的10個兒子就約瑟的死向雅各撒謊。(創世記 Gen 37:33)
3. Within the middle of verse five of Exodus 20 (the Ten Commandments), we find these words from God: " you shall not bow down to them nor serve them. For I, the Lord your God, am a jealous God, visiting (punishing) the iniquity of the fathers upon the children to the third and fourth generations of those who hate Me, but showing mercy to thousands, to those who love Me and keep My commandments.” (Ex. 20:5-6).
   
   出 Ex. 20:5-6說：「不可跪拜那些像，也不可侍奉它，因為我耶和華你的神是忌邪的神。恨我的，我必追討他的罪，自父及子，直到三四代； 愛我守我誡命的，我必向他們發慈愛，直到千代。」
   神曾在多處經文：如出 Ex. 20:5、出 Ex. 34:7、民 Num 14:18、申 Deut. 5:9，也如此告誡我們。

Jesus' statement in Luke 11:50: "that the blood of all the prophets which was shed from the foundation of the world may be required of this generation," This verse indicates that the consequences of sins committed in the past can be carried by future generations. 耶穌在路加福音11章50節說："使創世以來所流眾先知血的罪，都要問在這世代的人身上" 這節經文表明，過去所犯的罪的後果可能會由後代承擔。

The root of original sin began in the Garden of Eden with Adam and Eve. Notwithstanding the sin of Adam and Eve, they later walked with God and were obedient to Him. Adam and Eve passed on to their sons - through spiritual heritage - both the sins of rebellion and idolatry and the blessing of mercy (vs. 20:6). (Source: Dr. Arlin Epperson Healing of the Spirit.pdf)
原罪的根源始於亞當和夏娃的伊甸園。儘管亞當和夏娃犯了罪，他們後來仍與神同行並順服祂。亞當和夏娃透過心靈的傳承，把悖逆、拜偶像的罪和憐憫的祝福都傳給了他們的兒子(Gen 20:6節)。(資料來源：Dr. Arlin Epperson, Healing of the Spirit.pdf)

Modern-Day Research: 現代研究：

1. Studies that show a higher likelihood of addiction, alcoholism, and criminal behavior among descendants of individuals who engaged in such activities.
   研究表明，成癮，酗酒和有犯罪行為的人的後代更有可能也有成癮，酗酒和犯罪行為。
2. Research is also presented indicating that children of alcoholics have different physiological responses to alcohol compared to children of non-alcoholics.
   研究也顯示，酗酒者的子女相比於非酒精成癮者的子女，對酒精有不同的生理反應。
3. Studies are mentioned showing that a mother's emotional state during pregnancy can significantly impact the child's physical and emotional well-being.
   研究顯示，母親在懷孕期間的情緒狀態會對孩子的身心健康造成重大影響。

Using Genograms to Identify Possible Generational Sins/Curses
使用心靈基因圖鑑定可能的世代罪孽/咒詛

A curse is a supernatural edict enforced by a spirit being. Every curse has a cause (or source); "so the curse causeless shall not come"
咒詛是由靈界執行的超自然法令。每項咒詛都有其原因(或來源)；「這樣，無故的咒詛也必不臨到」。

Prov. 26:2 "Like a flitting sparrow, like a flying swallow, So a curse without cause shall not alight. "
箴 26:2 "麻雀往來，燕子翻飛，這樣，無故的咒詛也必不臨到。"

As we minister for the purpose of inner healing conselling and come to believe there is a curse involved, there are three questions we need to ask: (1) Is there a curse? (2) What is the cause? (3) What is the cure?
當我們為了自我醫治或輔導的目的而服事，並且相信牽涉到咒詛時，我們一定要問這三個問題： (1) 是否有咒詛？(2) 原因是什麼？(3) 醫治的方法是什麼？
