Forgiveness by effie03(f): 3:14pm On Jun 26, 2015 |
We were talking earlier on today about the forgiveness of sins, and how Jesus has that authority, and has given us authority to forgive sins. John 20:23- “If you forgive anyone’s sins, their sins are forgiven; if you do not forgive them, they are not forgiven.” if you withhold forgiveness from any it is withheld. So with that being said God gives us the authority to forgive others, and if we don’t forgive them it may keep them in Bondage, and maybe it will also keep our hearts and minds in bondage from being in one body and on accord with them. But to take that further, what about forgiving ourselves? We know God forgives our sins, but if we can not forgive ourselves, have we truly received the full forgiveness of our Lord, or are we keeping ourselves in Bondage. Forgive others, so it shall not hinder a brother/sister, swallow all pride and serve Christ in all things! |

effie03: Dont take scriptures out of context. When Jesus said this,he was telling them abt how forgiveness and remissions of sins should be preached in his name, anyone who believes the gospel will receive the remissions of Sins, compare that scripture to Luke's account see Luke 24 |

sportsmaster: Got it, but with that said. With the Model Prayer, it says, "forgive us our trespasses, as we forgive those who trespass against us." I think what Christ is talking about here is forgiving those who have done wrong to you. If you forgive them, they are definitely forgiven be Christ. what do you think? |
