Forgiveness

Forgiveness

Forgiveness is essential to spiritual growth and to salvation, because it is YHVH's essential nature to forgive. Sincere repentance is the only requirement for us to obtain YHVH's forgiveness. No blood sacrifice, or any other act, ever was or is required.

116 SCRIPTURES on the theme of Forgiveness

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Luke 6:37 Avoid judging [people], 😇. Thus you escape judgment. Never condemn. Thus you avoid condemnation. Forgive, 😇. Then [YAH] forgives you.
note: If you refuse to find others guilty, then YAH refuses to find you guilty. Stop criticizing others. Judgment is a boomerang. The harder you throw criticism at others, the harder criticism flies back and hits you in the head. See song: Boomerang.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Luke 23:34 Then YahShua [groans], “Father, forgive them. They don't know what they're doing.” The [soldiers] divide YahShua's clothing by casting lots, [gambling].

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Matthew 18:35 Likewise, 😇, when you fail to forgive from your heart every sin your brother-humans commit against you, then [YHVH] my heavenly Father [demands full payment on pain of torture] from you [for every wrong you've ever done].”
note: That's why bitter, unforgiving people lead such tortured, painful lives.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Mark 11:26 But, 😇, if you [fail to] forgive, [YHVH] your Father in heaven refuses to forgive your sins.”
note: That ‘salvation prayer’ alone isn't gonna save you, folks. If you're really saved, you keep on forgiving people and doing acts of righteousness.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Matthew 6:14 For if you, 😇, forgive men their trespasses, your heavenly Father [YHVH] also forgives you.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Matthew 18:22 YahShua answers Peter {Rock}, “Forgiving 7 repeated offenses is just baby forgiveness. To be my disciple, you have to forgive 490 serial repeated offenses (70 x 7) [from the same unrepentant offender]!
note: [Paraphrased.] That's a challenge for anyone. Daniel accurately predicted that 490 years of Jewish rebellion would precede the destruction of Jerusalem in 70AD.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Matthew 18:33 Shouldn’t you have had mercy on your fellow servant, just like I had pity on you, 😇?’

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Mark 3:28 😇, [YAH] can [and will] forgive the children of Adam for every kind of sin [murder, fornication, genocide, you name it] and blasphemy of every kind [except one:]

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Mark 11:25 And when you stand praying, 😇, forgive anything: [any debt, grudge, wish for revenge, hard feeling] you have against anyone, so that [YHVH] your Father in heaven forgives your trespasses [offenses, sins].
note: Cancel every debt anyone owes to you. Unconditionally forgive every bad thing that anyone ever did to you. Then you can get your prayers answered.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Luke 15:22 But the father says to his servants, ‘Bring out the best robe. Put it on my son! Put a ring on his hand. [Fit dress] shoes on his feet.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Luke 23:43 YahShua answers the criminal, “I tell you the rock-solid [Truth]: today you [rest] be with me in Eden Shel Malah [Gan-‘Eden, the place of the righteous dead].”
note: This was the best thing the thief could have hoped to hear. ‘Eden Shel Malah’ is not in heaven (nor 'paradise'), but is metaphorically ‘adjacent’ to Sheol. The righteous dead ‘sleep’ in Eden Shel Malah. The unrighteous dead ‘sleep’ in Sheol. Jesus told Mary of Magdala, 3 days after the cross, that He had not ascended yet. So ‘paradise’ does not mean heaven. Or somehow a non-specific word is in the Greek texts. The gospels were probably written, and were certainly conceived, in Hebrew, then translated into Greek. Many Hebrew thoughts just don't work in Greek. The doctrine of the immortality of the soul is diametrically opposed to Scripture. Yet it is taught in Sunday Schools and pulpits, and especially at funerals throughout the Land. The Greek view of man’s innate immortality must be banished, before the Hebrew view of man’s destiny, on which the teaching of Jesus is founded, can be grasped.—Anthony Buzzard, Our Fathers Who Aren’t in Heaven

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ John 8:9 The [people] hear [YahShua's incredibly wise answer. They grimace,] convicted by their own consciences, 😇. They leave [the temple court] one by one, starting with the oldest. At last [they] leave YahShua alone with the [trembling] woman. [She] stands in the center [of the temple courtyard].

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Romans 12:14 😇, bless everyone who persecutes you. Talk them up. [Pray for them. Repay them with gifts and acts of service.] Never curse [anyone]!
note: Only someone filled with the spirit of YHVH can sincerely love their enemies. Enemy-hate is hardwired within all human and animal neurology.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Ephesians 4:26 ‘[Even] when you get angry, 😇, never sin.’ Never let the sun go down on your wrath.
note: Quoting Psalm 4:4. Fix all your problems with other people before the sun goes down.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Genesis 50:21 So never fear! I'll provide for you and your little ones.” So Joseph {Increaser} comforts his [repentant] brothers, 😇. He speaks [mercy] to the hearts [of the whoremongers, cheaters, slave-traders and murderers who tried to kill him]!

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Job 42:10 [Job] prays for his [hypocritical, judgmental, back-stabbing] ‘friends.’ [So] YHVH springs Job out of [the devil's] trap of torture. Then YHVH gives Job twice as much [wealth, health and popularity] as he had before, 😇!
note: Pray in sincere love for your frenemies who persecute you. THEN YAH will restore what the evil forces took from you. But don't trust the traitors again!

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Jonah 4:4 YHVH answers, “Get over your anger.”

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Jonah 4:11 I [compassionately protected and] spared Nineveh {Mosul-Iraq}, the great [capitol] city [of the Assyrian empire], home to over 120000 [children] who didn't know the right [way from the] darkness. [Your prophecy saved millions of people from living and dying like] a herd of dumb beasts!”
note: Jonah watches from the hilltop, scowling. The people below dance, praise, pray, eat, kiss, in joyous, innocent delight. A little girl from the town sees Jonah. She runs up the hill, takes Jonah's hand, leads him down into the rejoicing city. Jonah's scowl gives way to a smile (to the little girl). The sky above Jonah's head lights up with fireworks. Jonah and the little girl join the celebration dance. They and the crowd shout, ‘HalleluYAH!’ The End. Fade Out.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Matthew 6:15 But if you [fail] to forgive men their offenses [& debts & sins, 😇,] your Father [YHVH] refuses to forgive your offenses [& debts & sins].

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Luke 5:21 Then, 😇, the [legalistic] lawyers and the [hypocritical] Pharisees [bark], “Who is this [heretic] who speaks blasphemies? Who but [YHVH] the Eloah alone can forgive sins?”

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Luke 7:47 —So I tell you that [this prostitute's] many sins are forgiven, 😇, because she loved much. But whoever has been forgiven little loves little.”

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Matthew 18:27 So the Sovereign, moved with compassion, releases the servant. The [king] forgives the debt, 😇!

⭐️⭐️⭐️ Exodus 32:14 So YHVH relents from the destruction he [wanted] to [rain on] His people, 😇.

⭐️⭐️⭐️ Leviticus 26:44 And yet, despite all your crimes, when you, [Israel,] wallow, [exiled] in the land of your enemies, I never throw you away, 😇. I don't abhor you. I never completely destroy you. I never break my covenant with you. For I am YHVH, your Elohim.

⭐️⭐️⭐️ MicaYah 7:19 YAH turns back to [us, His forgiven people]. [His heart brims full of] compassion, 😇. He treads our perversities [& depravities under his feet, erasing our guilt.] He flings all [our] sins into the shadowy-depths of the sea.

⭐️⭐️⭐️ Matthew 5:24 Go [seek to] first be reconciled to your brother [human], 😇. Then come and offer your donation.

⭐️⭐️⭐️ Matthew 18:21 Then Peter {Rock} comes to YahShua. [Peter] asks, “Adoni, how many times can my brother sin against me before I can refuse to forgive him? 7 times?”

⭐️⭐️⭐️ Luke 7:48 YahShua says to [the prostitute], “Your sins are forgiven.”

⭐️⭐️⭐️ John 20:23 —[I am giving you power to forgive sins.] Whoever's sins you forgive, those sins are gone forever. If you choose not to forgive their sins, their sins remain.”
note: This is a very controversial verse. It could be translated: ‘I give you the power to fix people's mistakes,’ for instance to cure venereal disease or leprosy. It led the Catholic church to fraudulently sell indulgences (fake forgiveness for money). We are not authorized to build businesses on this verse.

⭐️⭐️⭐️ Romans 12:17 Repay no man evil for evil, 😇. Live so everyone can see your honorable [heart].

⭐️⭐️⭐️ Ephesians 4:27 Never give the devil a foothold, 😇.
note: Anger gives a mighty foothold to the Devil.

⭐️⭐️⭐️ Leviticus 19:22 Next, while [cooking] the guilt-donation-ram, the priest [prays] for YHVH to [mercifully] ‘cover’ the [confessed foolish fornicator] who sinfully [lay with the servant girl]. Then [YAH] forgives this awful sin. [But its consequences remain.]
note: The man can't be lawfully executed, and he doesn't necessarily have to marry the girl, because of the conflict of authority between him and the girl's other man.

⭐️⭐️⭐️ Deuteronomy 24:10 When you, 😇, lend your brother [human] anything, never invade his dwelling to fetch what he pledged [in collateral, or to recover your investment].
note: No forced-entry foreclosures. Lending is giving.

⭐️⭐️⭐️ Psalms 78:38 Yet instead of disintegrating us, [YAH] covers our perversity with his hands-of-compassion, 😇. Again and again he turns his fire-snorting-fury away from us. He lets his hot-anger close-its-eyes.

note: YAH only requires your repentance. YAH never demands that his believers commit blood sacrifices.

⭐️⭐️⭐️ Psalms 103:12 [YAH] flings our offenses as [infinitely] far from us as East is from West, 😇.

⭐️⭐️⭐️ Proverbs 24:29 😇, never say, “I'll do him like he did me. I'll pay that guy back for what he did.”

⭐️⭐️⭐️ Ezekiel 16:42 So I rest the burning-fury I [feel] for you. My jealousy departs from you. Finally I quiet. I silence my boiling [blood].

⭐️⭐️⭐️ Ezekiel 18:22 If [you really repent,] I won't ever mention to you any of the offenses [you] ever committed, 😇. Through your righteousness, you will live.’

⭐️⭐️⭐️ MicaYah 7:18 Elohim lifts evil & depravity [off of us saints]. He removes rebellion from his remaining heritage-people. YAH never holds on to anger forever, 😇. YAH inclines toward mercy.
note: Again, there is no such thing as conscious eternal torment.

⭐️⭐️⭐️ ZephaniYAH 3:11 Day dawns, 😇! The shame of lawless criminality flies away. [YAH] fills [his people] with majesty. [We] jump-for-joy as [we] ascend to high atop [YAH's] holy Mountain!
note: See Zeph 3:11 song: Climbin' Up That Holy Mountain.

⭐️⭐️⭐️ 2nd Corinthians 5:19 [The spirit of] YHVH lived in [the mortal] Messiah. [Thus YHVH] reconciled the world to himself. [YAH doesn't] count the world's past [renounced] sins against people, 😇. YAH commissions us [believers] to spread [YAH's] message of reconciliation.

Numbers (Journeys) 14:19 So [I beg you], in accordance with your great love [& mercy]: please pardon the evil of these [rebellious Israeli] people, just like you've forgiven this nation ever since [they left] Egypt.”

IsaiYAH 43:25 —[Unlike your corrupt legal system,] I wipe away your criminal-record to protect my reputation. I pardon your sins, 😇.

IsaiYAH 54:9 “I [make your punishment fade] like the waters of Noah {Rest}. Just as I swear that floods like Noah's will never again drown the earth, so I swear that I will not remain angry with you, nor rebuke you [forever], 😇.

Mark 2:17 YahShua hears the [religionists slandering him]. He answers those ‘law-experts’ and [holier-than-thou] pharisees, “Healthy people have no need of a physician. Sick people need a doctor. I didn't come to call righteous [people to repent. I came to call you] mess-ups to repent!”

Romans 4:6 Even David {Love} says the same thing, 😇. [David] describes the happiness of the man to whom [YHVH] the Eloah credits righteousness, even though the man's [current] performance [may be spotty]:

Romans 4:8 —[Pray] for YHVH to bless you by [choosing] not to count your mistakes against you, 😇.”
note: (Psalm 32:1,2)

Colossians 2:14 YHVH [has] blotted out the legal record of dogma that [acted] against us, which fought against us, 😇. [YAH] took [our criminal record] out of the way. [He] nailed it to YahShua's execution stake.
note: Nothing ever blotted out the Law of Moses. YAH blotted out the legal record of our sins. The blotting out also refers to the onerous rules of men, religious and otherwise, that produce accusations against us.

Genesis 18:29 Abraham {Father-Of-Billions} speaks to YHVH yet again, asking, “If [you] find 40 righteous [people] in Sodom—” YHVH responds, “I'll relent from destroying Sodom if [it contains] 40 [righteous people].”

Numbers (Journeys) 16:47 So Aaron grabs [sacred fire and incense] as Moses commands. Aaron runs into the middle of the [rebel] crowd. He sees a plague spreading among the people. So [Aaron waves] the incense [smoke around while he prays for YHVH to] cover the people [with his mercy].

IsaiYAH 40:2 Speak comforting [words] to the City-Of-Peace, 😇. Proclaim to her that her warfare is over. Her evil is pardoned. YHVH's hand has paid her full [retribution] for all her sins.

IsaiYAH 51:22 Your Adonai, YHVH, your Elohim who fights for his people, says, “Watch, 😇: I'm taking the cup of terror out of your hand. You've drained the chalice of my fury to the dregs. You [need] never drink it again.

Ezekiel 36:9 For watch. I am for you, [Israel]. I turn to face you. [Humans] once again till and plant you.

Haggai (Dancer) 2:23 Today,’ says YHVH-commander-of-armies, ‘I take you [back], my obeyer Zerubbabel {Born-From-Babylon} (son of ShealtiEl {I-Ask-El}).’ YHVH decrees, ‘I [hereby] re-install [Zerubbabel in royal authority]. I seal him [with my] signet [ring]. I've purified & selected [Zerubbabel to be a progenitor of the Messiah],’ declares YHVH-commander-of-armies.
note: YAH here restores Zerubabbel's right to royal lineage. So Zerubabbel becomes an ancestor of the Messiah (Yahshua), as stated in the gospel Genealogy. Zerubbabel may not have sat on Judea's throne as king, but he did rule Judea. Haggai 2:23 uses the same terminology as Jeremiah 22:24-30. This shows that Haggai's decree reverses the prior conditional curse against Jehoachin's descendants. The Jewish Encyclopedia agrees with this interpretation. This disproves one major assertion floated by some uneducated Jews that Yahshua of Nazareth could not be the Messiah.

1st Timothy 1:13 [YahShua chose me even though I] was a blasphemer, a persecutor, a violent, hurtful, arrogant man, 😇. [YAH] gave me mercy, because I did wrong ignorantly, in unbelief.

Genesis 18:30 Abraham {Father-Of-Billions} says to YHVH, “Please, Adonai, don't flare [in anger] when I speak: If 30 righteous [people can be] found in Sodom—”. YHVH replies, “I won't destroy Sodom if I find 30 [righteous people] there.”

Genesis 40:21 Pharaoh restores the chief butler to his position, 😇. And the butler places the [ceremonial royal wine] cup into Pharaoh's hand.

Genesis 41:51 Joseph {Increaser} names his firstborn ‘Manasseh {Sweet-Forgetting},’ because he says, “Elohim made me forget all the troubles I suffered at the hands of my father's [sons].”

Numbers (Journeys) 14:20 So YHVH replies,“I forgive [the Israelis], as you ask — [to a point].

Numbers (Journeys) 15:28 Then the priest [prays for YHVH] to cover the [human] who ignorantly strayed. Sins [you] commit unknowingly can be covered, 😇, forgiven by [YHVH].

2nd Samuel 21:4 The Gibeonites answer [David], “We won't accept any silver or gold from Saul's [estate], nor from his dynasty. Nor will we let you kill any man in Israel to [avenge] our [dead].” [David blurts], “Whatever you ask, I'll do [it] for you.”

Psalms 25:7 Forget the sins of my youth. [Ignore] my [grownup] rebellions. Wonderful YHVH, remember mercy.

Psalms 25:11 To [bring honor to] your Name, YHVH, pardon my great perversity.

Psalms 85:3 [You used to] stop before you crossed over [into annihilating us]. You'd dial-down the heat of your fire-breathing-fury.

Psalms 85:4 Elohim, our liberator, [please] turn [back to us]. Quench your anger.

Psalms 85:9 [YAH's] salvation stands infinitely near [to] all [beings] who [live in] awe [of] him, 😇. Glory can [again] dwell in our land.

Psalms 130:4 But [unlike idol-gods who demand blood-sacrifices,] you offer forgiveness. That's why [we believers] revere you.

IsaiYAH 48:9 I hold-back my fire-breathing-fury to protect my reputation. I resist cutting you [Judeo-Christians] out of the [universe] because [that would reduce my own] acclaim.

note: Daniel is addressing this verse to the other people praying with him.

Hosea 14:4 [YHVH replies,] “I heal the apostasy of [my repentant people, 😇]. I love them freely. [In time,] my anger [always] turns away from [truly penitent people].

ZechariYAH 1:12 YHVH's angel asks, ‘YHVH-ruler-of-billions, how long will you withhold mercy from Jerusalem and the [other] cities of Judea? You've fumed in rage against them for 70 years!’

Luke 1:78 [😇, freedom comes] through the tender mercy of [YHVH] our Eloah, who sends the sunrise to visit us from heaven.
note: Military spending produces slavery, not freedom.

2nd Corinthians 2:7 So now you should do the opposite: forgive [the repenter]. Encourage him; comfort him, 😇. Otherwise the [ex-sinner] might get swallowed up in overwhelming depression.

2nd Corinthians 2:8 So, 😇, I urge you to show that you really do love [the repentant sinner].

Leviticus 26:42 Then I remember my covenant with Jacob, my covenant with Isaac {Laughter}, My covenant with Abraham {Father-Of-Billions}. I remember the [Promised] land.

Job 7:21 Why don't you pardon my violations, and take away my guilt before I sleep in the dust? [At this rate] you'll look for me in the morning. But I'll be [dead].”

Psalms 85:2 You [used to] lift the depravity of your people. You covered all [our] sin[s]. Selah {Dramatic-Break}.

ZechariYAH 8:11 But I won't [punish] the [humble] remnant of this populace as I [punished their sinning ancestors in] the former days, 😇.”

2 Maccabees 7:33 And though [YHVH] the living Adonai gets angry with us [believers for] a little while for our discipline and correction, he soon reunites with his servants.

Luke 23:17 (Pilate [offers to release YahShua because Pilate is custom-bound] to [pardon and] release one [Jewish] prisoner to [appease] the [Jewish] people at the [Passover] feast.)

Genesis 43:17 The manager does as Joseph {Increaser} asks: he escorts [Israel's 10 sons] into Joseph's courthouse.

Prayer of Manasseh 1:7 for you [YHVH] are the most high Adonai, of great compassion and patience, very merciful. You refrain from [dishing out revenge] like evil men. You, O Adonai, according to your great goodness, have promised repentance and forgiveness to [people] who have sinned against you: and of your infinite mercies [you] have [empowered] sinners to repent, so that they may be saved.

2nd Corinthians 2:10 Anyone you forgive, I forgive too. Insofar as I have anything [personally] to forgive, in the presence of the Messiah, I do forgive [the repenter].
