8-23-2014-SINS REMITTED AND RETAINED
JOHN 20: 22-23 =
(22) AND WHEN JESUS SAID THIS, HE BREATHED ON THEM, AND SAID TO THEM, RECEIVE YOU THE HOLY SPIRIT:
(23) WHOSOEVER SINS YOU REMIT(FORGIVE), THEY ARE REMITTED,(FORGIVEN) TO THEM; AND WHOSOEVER SINS YOU RETAIN,(KEEP), THEY ARE RETAINED, (KEPT).
"REMARKS"
THIS IS GOING TO BE AN EYEOPENER FOR A LOT OF YOU AND I PRAY THROUGH JESUS, YAH'SHUA, THAT WHAT I HAVE BEEN TAUGHT AND BELIEVED WILL BE PASSED ON TO YOU AS THE SCRIPTURES SAYS I SHOULD DO.
SINS, THIS IS A SUBJECT WE ARE ALL GUILTY OF AND BECAUSE WE ARE ALL GUILTY OF SIN WE MUST UNDERSTAND HOW TO DEAL WITH SIN.
JESUS, YAH'SHUA, SAYS IN LUKE 17: 3-4 =
(3) TAKE HEED TO YOURSELVES, "IF" YOUR BROTHER TRESPASS,(SIN), AGAINST YOU, REBUKE,(WARN) HIM; AND "IF" HE REPENT, FORGIVE HIM.
(4) AND "IF" HE SINS AGAINST YOU 7 TIMES IN A DAY AND 7 TIMES IN A DAY TURN AGAIN TO YOU AND SAY, I REPENT; YOU SHALL FORGIVE HIM.
"REMARKS"
THERE ARE SINS AGAINST MAN AND SINS AGAINST YAH'WEH.
SINS AGAINST YAH'WEH, REQUIRE REPENTANCE FOR FORGIVENESS AND IT IS GIVEN WITH THE EXCEPTION OF THE UN-FORGIVABLE SIN, WHICH IS GIVING CREDIT TO THE DEVIL, SATAN, FOR THE WORK OF THE HOLY SPIRIT OF YAH'WEH.
SINS AGAINST MAN IS DIFFERENT IN THAT WHEN A DEAD MAN, SPEAKING OF THE UNREGENERATED MAN, ALIVE BUT DEAD SPIRITUALLY, SINS AGAINST YOU, YOU LIKE I MUST FORGIVE HIM FOR HIS IGNORANCE AND LOST CONDITIION BECAUSE HE KNOWS NO OTHER.
IF THIS SAME MAN SINS AGAINST YOU OR NOT, FORGIVENESS IS THE NORM.
BUT WAIT, IF THE CHRISTIAN MAN SINS AGAINST YOU AND "IF" HE REPENTS YOU MUST FORGIVE HIM. IN THIS SCENARIO, THE ABOVE SCRIPTURE APPLIES IN THIS WAY, HE IS THE ONE WHOSE SINS HAVE BEEN REMITTED, (FORGIVEN).
BUT IF THE BROTHER, THE CHRISTIAN MAN SAYS, I'VE DONE NOTHING WRONG AND I WON'T REPENT, THEN THAT SIN AGAINST YOU ARE RETAINING AND KEPT AND IS GIVEN OVER TO YAH'WEH, ON THE JUDGMENT DAY TO DEAL WITH.
WHENEVER WE CAN WE MUST FORGIVE BUT WHEN THERE IS AN ISSUE SUCH AS NOT REPENTING, WE LEAVE THAT FORGIVENESS TO YAH'WEH.
