Can Christians Be Cursed? Responding to Smart Christians Channel

Corey Minor of the Smart Christians Channel recently posted a detailed response to Michael Miller's appearance on Deep End with Lecrae, challenging the biblical basis for generational curses and deliverance ministry. In this episode, the Remnant Radio team engages that critique directly with respect for Corey as a Christian brother and honest disagreement with his conclusions. The core question on the table: Can believers be cursed? Can unbelievers? Is anyone born under a curse? And is the term "generational curse" even biblical language? The guys unpack the Hebrew words ārar, qālal, and ālāh, expose what they believe is an etymological fallacy at the heart of Corey's argument, and trace the theology of blessing and curse from Genesis 3 through the Deuteronomic covenant all the way to Galatians 3 and the new covenant promises of Jeremiah 31. They also wrestle honestly with their own disagreements. Miller makes the case for demonic spirits traveling down family lines (citing Mark 9 and the demonized boy who'd suffered "since infancy"). Rowntree prefers the language of "generational consequences" over "generational curses." And Lewis draws a distinction between God as active agent vs. passive agent in the Deuteronomic curses -- with both Job and 1 Kings 22 shaping his thinking. Part 2 is coming. The team still needs to address whether unbelievers can curse others, how curses actually operate metaphysically, and why not everyone in a family line seems to be equally affected. 0:00 – Introduction & Episode Roadmap 10:24 – Corey Minor Clip One 14:14 – Responding to Clip One 31:09 – Hebrew Words for Curse 36:48 – Covenant Curse Framework 56:42 – Jeremiah 31 New Covenant 1:00:09 – Automatic vs. Active Freedom 1:04:59 – Deuteronomic Curses Today 1:13:27 – Closing INTRODUCTION TO DELIVERANCE MINISTRY:
