Bible Question: If god gives us the authority to heal in Jesus's name... can we forgive sins in Jesus's name too? I found it the same to heal in an spiritual or physical way. I understand that is not our power but his and we only use it for and because of him. |
Bible Answer: Hello glenaglena, The authority to heal is in God's perogative and was , in fact given to the disciples as noted by Mark 16:17-18. I would offer that it was more descriptive than prescriptive (for us). With that being said, no, only God can forgive sins! Despite Catholic dogma, scripture is very clear on this: Matt. 1:21, 9:6, Mark 2:7. Speaking the Truth in Love, BradK |
