EVIDENTLY, YOU HAVE TROUBLE BELIEVING that there are different contingencies involved.

Different attitudes/spirits on the part of offspring matter a lot. There are general rules and laws that operate. Grace introduces some other possibilities. Christianity is the only Faith that offers Grace as Philip Yancy discusses so well in: WHAT'S SO AMAZING ABOUT GRACE.

Methinks your question is beneath your intellectual capacities.

It would be much easier if people would just offer a single and simple answer.
