Like most liars who work for the father of lies, you purposely leave out that to the Jews —to whom Jesus first directed His teaching— the forgiving of sin was a Grace ONLY God could perform. So when Jesus forgave someone on Earth, the Jews received that as proof He was claiming the position which to their minds only God held. Your purposed deceptions expose for whom you are posting so arduously at FR. You are gladly serving the spirit of antichrist.

MHGinTN: "Like most liars who work for the father of lies, you purposely leave out that to the Jews —to whom Jesus first directed His teaching— the forgiving of sin was a Grace ONLY God could perform."

First, in this exchange Jesus, far from claiming to be God Himself, calls himself "the Son of Man".
And second, one answer to your unfounded accusation is found in Matthew 9:8:

"When the crowd saw this, they were filled with awe; and they praised God, who had given such authority to man."

Some translations say "to a man", others say "to men".

Of course, FRiend, if you refuse to believe Matthew on this, then what can yours truly, BroJoeK, say?
