WHO CAN FORGIVE SINS BUT GOD ALONE?

Mark 2:5-12

[5]When Jesus saw their faith, He said to the paralytic, “Son, your sins are forgiven you.”

[6]And some of the scribes were sitting there and reasoning in their hearts,
[7]“Why does this Man speak blasphemies like this? Who can forgive sins but God alone?”

[8]But immediately, when Jesus perceived in His spirit that they reasoned thus within themselves, He said to them, “Why do you reason about these things in your hearts?

[9]Which is easier, to say to the paralytic, ‘Your sins are forgiven you,’ or to say, ‘Arise, take up your bed and walk’?

[10]But that you may know that the Son of Man has power on earth to forgive sins”—He said to the paralytic,

[11]“I say to you, arise, take up your bed, and go to your house.”

[12]Immediately he arose, took up the bed, and went out in the presence of them all, so that all were amazed and glorified God, saying, “We never saw anything like this!”

When you offend a man then the forgiveness of sin comes from the man offended.

When you offend The Lord, then the forgiveness of sins comes from The Lord.

When you offend both man and God, then the forgiveness of sins comes from both men and God!

Sin is a religious construct

Of course, sin is a religious construct, and a vice for the matter, we all wish we can do without or have nothing to with.

There's nothing like sin. That's what I meant.

2/ Following up on your response to #1 above, what then makes you so sure that there is nothing like sin?

True, I put that aside knowing that everyone Knows or could easily know that The Lord Jesus is Indeed God who hath Power to Forgive Sins as the scribes Rightly Knew and disclosed.

But I also wanted to bring to the hearts of men other things they Ought to Know which is Also Connected to this Issue, so that they may act Rightly in Knowledge and Understanding.

Sin is Offence and no one created Offences, but every soul exhibits it and gives it whether Wilfully or Unwillfully.

Have you offended anyone?

Then you have sinned against That Specific Person including Any other Person Affected by your Offence.

Luke 5:20-26
[20]When He saw their faith, He said to him, “Man, your sins are forgiven you.”
[21]And the scribes and the Pharisees began to reason, saying[b], “Who is this who speaks blasphemies? Who can forgive sins but God alone?”[/b]
[22]But when Jesus perceived their thoughts, He answered and said to them, “Why are you reasoning in your hearts?
[23]Which is easier, to say, ‘Your sins are forgiven you,’ or to say, ‘Rise up and walk’?
[24]But that you may know that the Son of Man has power on earth to forgive sins”—He said to the man who was paralyzed, “I say to you, arise, take up your bed, and go to your house.”
[25]Immediately he rose up before them, took up what he had been lying on, and departed to his own house, glorifying God.
[26]And they were all amazed, and they glorified God and were filled with fear, saying, “We have seen strange things today!”
