John 20:23 In John 20:23, Jesus had just risen from the dead. The disciples were gathered together, afraid and confused. Then Jesus appeared to them alive. He said: “As my Father hath sent me, even so send I you” [John 20:21]. Then He breathed on them and gave them the Holy Spirit. Breathing on them does not mean, Jesus took a deep breath and exhaled in their faces. “Breathed” here is the same breathe used back to Genesis. In Genesis 2:7, God breathed into Adam’s nostrils the breath of life, and Adam became a living soul. When Jesus breathed on the disciples, He was now giving spiritual empowerment for the ministry He had commissed them to carry out. After He breathe on them, Jesus said: “Whose soever sins ye remit, they are remitted unto them” [John 20:23]. In this statement, Jesus was not giving human beings the power to forgive sins. This is why we must look at the whole Bible, not one verse by itself. First Principle. Only God Can Forgive Sin. The Bible teaches over and over that forgiveness ultimately comes from God. When Jesus forgave sins in Mark 2, the scribes said: “Who can forgive sins but God only?” [Mark 2:7]. They were correct about that one thing and that is that only God can remove sin from the soul. Jesus could forgive sins because Jesus is divine. Human beings do not have that power in themselves. Human beings are not divine. Second Principle: Christians Must Forgive Each Other. The Bible also teaches forgiveness between people. For example: If someone hurts you and later repents, Jesus says forgive them, seventy times seven, meaning all the time [Luke 17:3–4]. Paul says: “Forgiving one another, even as God for Christ’s sake hath forgiven you” [Ephesians 4:32]. This kind of forgiveness means: “I will not hold this wrong against you anymore.” It is about restoring relationships between people. That is different from removing a person’s guilt over committing sin, before God. For example: If I lie to you and later apologize, you can forgive me personally. But you cannot erase my sin from heaven’s record. Only God can do that. Third Principle: The Church Has Responsibility. Jesus also gave responsibility to the church. In Matthew 16:19 and Matthew 18:18, Jesus spoke about binding and loosing. The church was supposed to follow God’s truth, not make its own rules. These words were used for making decisions about right and wrong, discipline, repentance, and church membership. For example: If someone openly refuses to repent from serious sin, the church may separate that person from membership. If someone truly repents, the church can welcome them back. But at all times, the authority starts in heaven first. Jesus says: “Whatsoever thou shalt bind on earth shall be bound in heaven” [Matthew 16:19]. Jesus was not saying that the church tells heaven what to do. The church follows what heaven has already decided. God remains the highest authority. Fourth Principle: What Was Jesus Really Giving the Disciples? Now we come back to John 20:23. Right before saying those words, Jesus told the disciples: “As the Father sent Me, I send you” [John 20:21]. Jesus was ordaining them for ministry. He was sending them out as missionaries to continue the work. In other words, Jesus was sending them into the world to preach the gospel. Luke explains the same mission. Luke said: “Repentance and remission of sins should be preached in his name among all nations” [Luke 24:47]. Pay close attention to the words used: The disciples were told to preach forgiveness. They were not told to manufacture forgiveness, or create forgiveness, or to become replacements for God. Their mission was to announce what God would do for repentant sinners through Christ. Suppose a man hears the gospel. He repents. He believes in Jesus. The disciples could on all confidence tell him that their sins are forgiven through Christ. The reason they could do that is because God promised forgiveness to those who repent and believe. Now suppose another person rejects Christ completely. The disciples could honestly warn then that they remained living in sin, or that something they were doing was not right on the eyes of God. But again, they are not controlling forgiveness. They are declaring what God’s Word already says. For example, a mail carrier delivering a letter. The mail carrier did not write the message. He only delivers it. The church delivers God’s message of forgiveness. God Himself is the One who forgives. When you cross-reference the text, you find that John explains this himself later. Years later, the apostle John said: “If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins” [1 John 1:9]. John sent sinners directly to God. He did not send them to priests, and to confession booths or to any human mediators. Because forgiveness comes from God through Jesus Christ. Therefore, John 20:23 is not teaching that men become little gods with power to erase sin. Jesus was giving His followers authority to preach the gospel to the world. The church announces forgiveness through Christ. God is the One who actually grants it.

This is why people should read things for themselves. Aaron Siri’s tweet is misleading. The Trump DOJ brief DOES NOT SAY at all that medical exemptions are fine but religious ones aren’t—it actually says Title VII REQUIRES reasonable religious accommodations and would PREEMPT any state law blocking them. In this case, they made a narrow call to skip Supreme Court review in this one old, already-repealed NY case—because it’s a weak, fact-specific dispute (full exemption vs. other options like reassignment) that’s not worth the Court’s time.​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​ The brief explicitly states the opposite of Siri’s framing on the core legal principle.. “Petitioners are correct that, if New York law foreclosed any consideration of religious accommodations, it would be preempted by Title VII… Title VII would preempt a state law that precludes an employer from attempting to reasonably accommodate an employee’s religious practice.” Read it for yourself supremecourt.gov/DocketPDF/24/2…

Only Christ can forgive sin, because only Christ died for sin. As simple as this is, grown men and woman are having difficulty understanding such a clear statement. Sin is breaking God’s law [1 John 3:4], which means sin has to be brought to God first. David said: “Against You, You only, have I sinned, and done this evil in Your sight” [Psalm 51:4]. Our sins can hurt people, yes, but at the root, sin is against God. The Bible says God is the one who forgives. “If we confess our sins, He is faithful and just to forgive us our sins” [1 John 1:9]. Paul said forgiveness comes through Christ, by faith in Him [Ephesians 1:7; Acts 10:43]. Yes, we should confess wrongs done to people when we have hurt them. That brings healing, prayer, and reconciliation [James 5:16]. Still, no human being becomes the source of divine forgiveness. The only one who has the authority to forgive sin is Jesus Christ, for He alone paid the penalty through His sacrifice on the cross.

@Ashleyhays2089 Obedience to God AND faith in Christ is the narrow path. John 14:15 Matthew 5:17 Hebrews 6:4-6 Revelation 14:12

Salvation is by grace through faith. We are redeemed by the blood of Christ ALONE. Not by your works. Not by going to church. Not by sacraments. Not by being a good person. Not by obeying the commandments. Not by any other thing but the finished work on the cross. If you disagree- your faith is not in the blood and there is an issue. And sadly, this comment section will probably prove how narrow the path is.

Faith is proven by action. What good is it, my brothers and sisters, if someone claims to have faith but has no deeds? Can such faith save them? You foolish person, do you want evidence that faith without deeds is useless? You see that a person is considered righteous by what they do and not by faith alone. (James 2:14, 20, 24)

You adulterous people, don’t you know that friendship with the world means enmity against God? Therefore, anyone who chooses to be a friend of the world becomes an enemy of God. James 4:4

Remember the sabbath day, to keep it holy. Six days shalt thou labour, and do all thy work: But the seventh day is the sabbath of the LORD thy God: in it thou shalt not do any work, thou, nor thy son, nor thy daughter, thy manservant, nor thy maidservant, nor thy cattle, nor thy stranger that is within thy gates: For in six days the LORD made heaven and earth, the sea, and all that in them is, and rested the seventh day: wherefore the LORD blessed the sabbath day, and hallowed it.
