Most people believe "God" can forgive sin but they have never believed they have been given this ability because separation theology is so ingrained in most people's minds.

Let's start with "sin." What is "sin?" Sin in it's simplest definition is missing the mark, or missing our goal or aim in life. Everyone's true nature is completely loved and complete in Christ. So when we see someone in lack, whether it is emotional, physical or financial, this is not their true nature. They are "sinning" or missing the mark of being complete in Christ. This is not about condemning anyone or judging their behavior. Their is no condemnation in Christ. They simply are not enjoying what has been freely given to them.

This leads to the next question, if we have been given the authority to forgive sin, what does that actually mean? It is "mind-bendingly" good, and we have been called to do it.

We know the ultimate goal of every person on earth is to walk in Christ. If we see someone missing their goal of health or abundance, we retain their sin if we see them with our physical senses. We forgive their sin by seeing them completely free and whole. If we see someone in poverty, we can see abundance effortlessly flowing in their life, and as we do this, it will begin to happen in their life. How can you not get excited about that?! Just as scripture stated, they were "astonished that they were given this ability."

Many people will call "foul" or accuse you of blasphemy if you tell them this truth. This is exactly how the religious crowd reacted in Mark 2. The scriptures tell us the son of man (The Greek word anthropos is used) has the authority on earth to forgive sin. Strong's tells us anthropos is anyone of the human race. Well, that seems like most people to me. And I love Helps Word Studies description. It says, "relates to both genders (male and female) as both are created in the image of God – each equally vested with individual personhood and destiny."

John 20:24 gives us the same idea by stating, "If you forgive anyone his sins, they are forgiven; if you withhold forgiveness from anyone, it is withheld.” Again, we see God giving this ability to mankind.

Most people believe "God" could do this, but because separation theology is so ingrained in most people's minds, they have never believed they have been given this ability, as the scriptures state.
