Utter Confusion...
Men forgiving SINS?
... only if a man IS Under the Mosaic LAW!
Under the LAW - a man's ACTION toward another man IS a Sin, and YES they Under the Law were taught to Forgive other men of Sin Against them.
Some men (Jews) have chosen to Not Believe Jesus is the Christ Messiah, And Remain Under the Mosaic Law. If that be the case with You...under the Mosaic Law, You can Continue Forgiving your Jewish Brethren of Sins Against You.
IF you Are Not Under Mosaic Law...the Mosaic Law Does NOT Apply to You...
You were NOT Given Authority to Forgive Sin of Another man.
If you are Not Under Mosaic Law...
* your Sin Of a Corrupt natural Body is a Sin Against God.
* your Sin Of Corrupting your soul is a Sin Against God.
* your Sin Of Corrupting your natural spirit, is A Sin Against God.
Only the Lord God can Forgive your Sins Against Him.
If you are NOT under Mosaic Law...
And you Have Trespassed Against another man...(intentionally lied, cheated, connived, stolen, his things his property...) you have
Trespassed Against the other man ...and it is the other man, You are supposed to Seek forgiveness from and Amend what you have caused OF the other man's losses, because of You.
And as well, If men have trespassed against you...and Amended their Trespass, you should Forgive Them their Trespass.
If a man forgives a brother, Trespasses MADE Against him...
It's an automatic, the Lord will forgive, the one who Amended their own Trespasses, that their Trespass Are Forgiven (whether or not the man forgave the man), the Lord God does.
Sin and Trespasses...Not Under the Mosaic Law are TWO different things.
NOT under Mosaic Law-
Sin is Against God...and Only Forgiven By the Lord God.
Trespasses are Against men...ARE Forgiven By Men and the Lord God.
It is the Lord God that Quickens ones SPIRIT.
A man's Whose SPIRIT is Quickened...was dead and then quickened...and Forgiven All Sins Against God and All Trespasses Against men.
Eph.2
[
1] And you hath he quickened, who were dead in
trespasses and sins;
Col.2
[
13] And you, being dead in your
sins and the uncircumcision of your flesh,
hath he quickened together with him, having forgiven you all trespasses;
Routinely men preach, they are Not under Mosaic Law...Yet preach that another man has "Sinned Against them"...and even go so far as to Demand an Apology for the other man's "Sin Against them".... for what? So the one demanding, can Forgive the Other of Sin?
Get real people...
Stop establishing yourself Not under Mosaic Law....then Pretending You Are Under Mosaic Law, and can Forgive Sin...it is Not your Authority to Forgive Sin!
You are Not...under the Mosaic Law and Then Under the Mosaic Law when You wiggle your
tongue and accuse others of "Sinning Against you."
Pay attention to the Language.
Are you AWARE...
Of US Laws regarding Biblical Principles?
Do you Know US Has Laws AGAINST men Trespassing Against Men and their property?..and the Consequences for men Trespassing Against men?
Are you AWARE US Laws DO NOT have Laws Aginst Sin or dole out Consequences For Committing SIN?
Do you Know WHY?
Sin is Against God.
God Himself dictates the Consequence of Sin Against Him.
God Himself doles out the Consequence for Sin Against Him.
2,00o years ago, the Jews understood Only God Forgives Sin.
Mark 2:
[
7] Why doth this man thus speak blasphemies?
who can forgive sins
but God only?
Luke.5
[
21] And the scribes and the Pharisees began to reason, saying, Who is this which speaketh blasphemies?
Who can forgive sins,
but God alone?
2,000 years ago, many Jews did not Believe, (nor do most today) believe JESUS Is God in the Flesh likeness as a man...
And Why they wanted Him Killed...
The Jews only saw Jesus as a man...who was claiming to Be God.
John 10:
[
33]
The Jews answered him,
saying, For a good work
we stone thee not; but
for blasphemy; and because that thou,
being a man, makest thyself God.
If you are Not under Mosaic Law...get a clue...others Not Under Mosaic Law, Can Not Sin Against you.
False accusations of accusing others of Sinning Against you...reveals your utter lack of understanding.
