No, that is not what He meant. It is not about us [really]. It is about Christ reigning "in us" to bring all things in heaven and earth under submission, to "make the earth His footstool" as it were.Thank you all...I probably should have asked ...in defining what it means
could you use synonyms to bind and loosed...Let me see if I have this right, because if I do
it is an easy verse...
So if I let go of an offense to me...in Heaven it will be let go of...like, it will be forgotten and gone?
Thus, I would be free of it...
If I hang onto an offense to me ...in Heaven I will be hanging onto to it, still,
thus, be burdened by
this thing I have not let go of? (in Heaven?)
Can someone correct that for me?
So, then, using your example: If you let go of an offense to you...and it is not you who has done it, but Christ who lives in you...then Christ (in you) has judged for the offender and they are set free of the offense. And if you hang onto an offense to you, then Christ has judged against the offender, and they are condemned.
