AMPLIFIED 2015 | Luke 17:3 "Pay attention and always be on guard [looking out for one another]! If your brother sins and disregards God's precepts, solemnly warn him; and if he repents and changes, forgive him. |
Subject: Is remorse necessary for forgiveness? |
Bible Note: That's very interesting, your statement that is, “Before the Day of Pentecost, God did not live in man (with few exceptions like John the Baptist). So there was no power to forgive.” If I read you right, “So there was no power to forgive.” That would imply that that before Pentecost there was no capacity for God to save people? What was the means of salvation in the Old Testament, if since the New Testament we are finally under grace? John 1:17 For the law was given by Moses, but grace and truth came by Jesus Christ. Could people be saved, during the times of the Old Testament, by keeping the Law? CDBJ |
