He died for our sins, but also to open up the gates to heaven, which had been closed up to that point. His dying on the cross doesn’t mean that we can go forward and sin with the thought that we will be automatically forgiven. I don’t think that is what the Lord had in mind at all. You still have to repent for your sins, you just can’t preplan to sin and say “Oh, well, it’s OK because I’ll be forgiven.”
Understood. I was just wondering about the concept of priests absolving sins. Could I absolve the sin of a neighbor who believes in Yeshua? I believe when we do sin its an unconscious thought or deed, like, not deliberately going to sin but just happens(?) We Jews believe that sin is in not doing something that exalts G-d when we could have .... in other words, would committing adultery exalt G-d? I don’t think so ....
