Kindly explain what bearing this question has to your unique, limp-dishrag "allow" translation of Jesus' "forgive" in that Word of the Cross. Or else confess it is a red herring and repent!

P.S. It may help you to realize that this provisional sense of "forgive" was also used in the Old Testament, at the ritual of the New Year and the Day of Atonement. Nobody claims all those people were eternally saved, but God actively bore their burden for at least that time. He was not a limp "allow" dishrag.
