Ezekiel 18:20 - “The soul who sins is the one who will die. The son will not share the guilt of the father, nor will the father share the guilt of the son."
Deut 24:16 - "Fathers shall not be put to death for their children, nor children put to death for their fathers; each is to die for his own sin."
So why did Adam's sins transfer?
< Those cases are different from Adam's case.
In the cases of the given verses above, God doesn't judge the children for the father's sins, because they were already born. However, in Adam's case, he sinned before his children were born, and thus they inherited the sin once they were born.
<> The children won't get blamed because of Adam's sin.
But they will still suffer the consequences of Adam bringing sin into the world.
