Ah, well, greetings Mahdi, This scripture was specifically Jesus speaking to His 12 Apostles. It was to them that he gave the power to forgive sins. I wondered why you would be asking 'Christians' to forgive sins. There is no scripture(that I am aware of) that says that all those who receive the Holy Spirit will have the authority to forgive sins. This was only spoken by Jesus to His Apostles. We do however, all have the power to forgive those who trespass against our own selves, which is what Jesus encourages us to do. "...and forgive us our trespasses as we forgive those who trespass against us..." - the prayer Jesus taught His disciples to say. Salaam, Caringheart |

Greetings Mahdi,
"There is no scripture(that I am aware of) that says that all those who receive the Holy Spirit will have the authority to forgive sins." We do however, all have the power to forgive those who trespass against our own selves, which is what Jesus encourages us to do."... forgive us our trespasses as we forgive those who trespass against us..." You do not think one needs the power of God's Holy Spirit to find it in ones self to forgive those who have done ill? I do. Salaam, Caringheart |

Lol, Sorry Caringheart. I'm sure everything I say is irrelevent as well. We are not here to explain our beliefs but to defend the Catholics.
I'm not looking it up. What Catholics do is irrelevent to me. Try a little Sunni hadith on Mahdi the seeker and encourage him to explain it until it makes sense. |
