Forgiveness of Sins



Take a few moments to consider how you would answer the following questions.

(1) How many of your sins do you want God to forgive?

(2) How many sins of the person you hate the most are you willing to forgive?

(3) What does that person you hate the most have to do for you to forgive him or her?

(4) What if God required you to do those same things to receive forgiveness?

If we use a Greek text of Matthew 5:18, the Greek word translators read for “ jot ” is “ iota .” Iota is the name of a Greek letter. It is usually transliterated by the English “ i .”  Ho...

You Must Be Perfect

What comes to your mind when you hear the following words of Jesus (Yeshua)? “ You must be perfect, as your heavenly Father is perfect .” (Luke 6:36 & Matthew 5:48) The opening phrase -- “ You must be perfect. . . ” -- has generated many debates over the centuries and caused a great deal of confusion and guilt . The dictionary definition for the word “ perfect ” that comes to most peoples’ minds is usually “ completely free from faults or defects .” Obviously, that’s a high goal to try to reach, but when you add the second phrase – “. . . as your heavenly Father is perfect ” – the goal goes much higher.

Dr. David Flusser ( Jesus © 1997 The Magnes Press, The Hebrew University, Jerusalem; p. 83) places the words of Jesus in their first century cultural and historical setting to unlock the meaning of this very important teaching of Jesus. The best way of translating this saying is: ...
