Forgiveness and Faith

Jesus Christ said: "’Take heed to yourselves. If your brother sins against you, rebuke him; and if he repents, forgive him. And if he sins against you seven times in a day, and seven times in a day returns to you, saying, 'I repent,' you shall forgive him.’ And the apostles said to the Lord, "Increase our faith" (Luke 17:3-5).

(1) Who are you to judge another person’s heart? Legislation determining what are “hate crimes,” and Media rejecting confession of wrong-doing are contrary to God’s Word.

(2) Jesus said, “out of the abundance of the heart the mouth speaks”  (Matthew 12:34). We must assume that spoken words are “heart-felt.”

(3) Sin is a violation of God’s Word. Who are you to add arbitrary, man-made “works of penance” to make someone’s repentance to your liking? It is “godly sorrow [that] produces repentance leading to salvation”                             (2 Corinthians 7:10). Repentance is between the sinner and God. - 6-15-2021

QA: Why Is Our Government Called "Godless"?

QUESTION: Why is our government called "godless"? - 3/7/2021

ANSWER: Maybe this incident will illustrate: In a Congressional debate on gender, Representative Greg Steube stated, "... We are seeing the consequences of rejecting God here in our country today." Democrat Representative Gerald Nadler replied, "What any religious tradition describes as 'God's will' is no concern of this Congress." REALLY? 1. Jesus would tell him, "You are mistaken, not knowing the Scriptures nor the power of God." (Matthew 22:29) Nadler was born into a Jewish family ... Read more of this and other QAs in the Questions Answered page.
