The NIV for John 20:23 says "If you forgive anyone's sins, their sins are forgiven; if you do not forgive them, then they are not forgiven." This is Jesus' departing words to his 12 Apostles. I feel he gave them some authority he had, that we do not have in this life, which is to judge. I see Peter exercise this authority to keep the church pure from those with evil motives like in Acts 5, Ananias and Sapphira died for lying. Then after Simon the Sorcerer made his pledge to Jesus in baptism in Acts 8, Peter told Simon he had no part in the God's kingdom (1 Peter 3:20-21). I am sure there are others. Jesus was given all authority from the Father (Matt 28:18) so apparently he could empower others. | ||||||

Jesus was God before David and Jesus was born of the David's blood line John 1:1-5 (NASB) 1 In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. 2 He was in the beginning with God. 3 All things came into being through Him, and apart from Him nothing came into being that has come into being. 4 In Him was life, and the life was the Light of men. 5 The Light shines in the darkness, and the darkness did not comprehend it. |
