Bible Question:
Matthew 18:15 NKJV, states that if you bother sins against you..... What kind of sins would these be that would be sins "against you"? |
Bible Answer: Jesus' parables were filled with examples of people doing wrong to others. The most powerful one to come to my mind is that of the Good Samaritan. But it is also helpful to remember that Jerusalem in the 1st century was a very modern city and people were carrying on business deals all the time. And of course, the Jews were famous for being shrewd with their negotiations. Also remember, Jesus harshly rebuked the Scribes and Pharisees for adding to God's Word all their traditions which He and His disciples didn't hesitate to violate. But I can imagine many such argumenta between all the various Jews about these differences. So Jesus was referring to the whole grand list of wrongs that were being perpetrated on everyone. To me, it all boils down to intent. If a person knows he's deceiving someone then it's obvious to those that find out later that's a sin and of course it's well know immediately to God. |
