2-27-2012 SUBJECT - FORGIVENESS OR NOT
LUKE 17: 3-4 =
(3) TAKE HEED TO YOURSELVES: IF YOUR BROTHER TRESPASS AGAINST YOU, REBUKE HIM AND IF HE REPENTS, FORGIVE HIM.
(4) AND IF HE TRESPASS AGAINST YOU SEVEN TIMES IN A DAY, AND SEVEN TIMES IN A DAY, TURN AGAIN TO YOU SAYING, I REPENT; YOU SHALL FORGIVE HIM.
"REMARKS"
SEE IN THIS CONTEXT, AS IN OTHERS, UNLESS REPENTANCE PROCEEDS FORGIVENESS, THE SIN REMAINS ON THE SINNER AND THERE IS NO FORGIVENESS. IT IS NOT INCUMBENT UPON YOU, TO FORGIVE, WITHOUT A REPENTANT RESPONSE, FROM YOUR BROTHER, IF HE IS UNREPENTANT, THEN HE CARRIES THIS GUILT TO THE JUDGMENT SEAT OF MESSIAH.
REMEMBER, THIS IS A BROTHER, WE ARE SPEAKING OF, NOT THOSE WHO ARE LOST AND NOT A PART OF THE KINGDOM OF YAHSHUA, BUT A BROTHER, WHO SHOULD UNDERSTAND THE IMPORTANCE OF REPENTING OF ANYTHING HE DOES, THAT OFFENDS MAN AND, OR, YAH'WEH.
THE SAME WITH ANYONE WHO COMES TO THE THRONE OF THE GRACE OF YAH'WEH, AND NEVER REPENTS OR, ADMITS HE IS A SINNER AND DOESN'T SAY, I REPENT AND TURN FROM THESE SINS.
BUT IF HE DOES SAY, I REPENT, AND WITH THE INDWELLING OF YOUR HOLY SPIRIT AND THE BLOOD OF MY SAVIOR YAH'SHUA, WHO CLEANSES ME FROM ALL MY SINS, I RECEIVE YOUR GIFT OF SALVATION.
FORGIVENESS IS FREELY GIVEN TO THOSE OUTSIDE THE KINGDOM OF YAHWEH, BECAUSE THEY, LIKE THOSE WHO CRUCIFIED YAH'SHUA, AND THE RESPONSE YAH'SHUA, GAVE IN LUKE 23: 34 = FATHER, FORGIVE THEM; FOR THEY KNOW NOT WHAT THEY DO.
