@Taken, I'm pretty sure that you sin sometimes.
I'm sure that I do not Sin.
I am a Gentile. My sins were NOT according to Mosaic Law, i.e. Laws of the Tribes of Israel.
My sins "were":
• Being naturally born in Sin.
• Not believing IN God, IN Christ Jesus.
• Corrupting my soul BY Disbelief.
Jesus Offered me a WAY, to be Forgiven,
OF All my Sins- Corruption OF my Soul and For having HAD Disbelief.
• I learned About God, About Jesus, About Christ, and Chose to Believe IN The Whole of Them who IS He; the Lord God Almighty, Creator and Maker of All Things.
• I accepted The Lord Jesus Offer, to be Forgiven, and His internal Power (Spirit) to KEEP me from Ever again Disbelieving (committing Sin) IN Him.
I know exactly what WAS my Sin Against God...and Trust His Word, He has Forgiven me my Sin Against Him Once, and Forever Keeps me from Ever Again committing Sin Against Him. Freed from Sin.
If you are Under Mosaic Law...then certainly by Mosaic Law, men sinned against men, and men forgave men for sinning Against them...according to Mosaic Law.
Me...Gentile...my Sin was Against God, that Only God could forgive...and Did.
I can Trespass against men, and they can forgive me or not.
Men can Trespass against me, and I can forgive them or not.
But I can not Sin against men.
And men cannot forgive me of Sin.
And my SIN AGAINST God IS Forgiven Forever.
Eph 2:
[
1] And you hath he quickened, who
were dead in trespasses and sins;
Trespasses
And
Sins
Two different things.
Once a man is IN Christ, PRAY ye like this:
Matt 6:
[
9] After this manner therefore pray ye: Our Father which art in heaven, Hallowed be thy name.
[
10] Thy kingdom come. Thy will be done in earth, as it is in heaven.
[
11] Give us this day our daily bread.
[
12] And forgive us our debts, (trespasses) as we forgive our debtors.(trespassers)
[
13] And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil: For thine is the kingdom, and the power, and the glory, for ever. Amen.
[
14] For
if ye forgive men their trespasses, your heavenly Father will also forgive you: (your trespasses against men)
[
15] But if ye forgive not men their trespasses, neither will your Father forgive your trespasses.
Trespasses....Not sins.
A man saying such prayer is already forgiven their Sin Against God.
Remember...men do not Have to forgive Trespasses against them...and other men do not have to forgive a man's trespasses against them...
But if you Do forgive men's traspasses against You...God will (whether or not men will) forgive your trespasses Against men.
