“ATTITUDE OF FORGIVENESS” AND “THE ACTION OF FORGIVENESS” Eddie Parish The argument is held at two different levels about two different things and because we are using the same word, there is an impasse.  Because sometimes we don’t properly distinguish which in our terminology the difference between the attitude of forgiveness and the action of forgiveness .   So, let’s see if we can distinguish those today.   Charizomai Let’s talk about the attitude first.  The attitude of forgiveness is most often expressed in the New Testament by the Greek word Charizomai .  The reason why I say that word is not to show you show you how smart I am.  It is to let that word be out there so that when I give you a different word in a moment, you will see they are completely different words.  Charizomai comes from the root word for grace, cares.  It is form of that word.  And that word, the root of it means to be agreeable, to be pleasant, to have a gr...

Denny Petrillo (WVBS course notes) 3 But He said to them, “Have you not read what David did, when he became hungry, he and his companions;  ***See article: “Matthew 12 And Situation Ethics”.  Have you not read? This is a rebuke. Of course they had read! 4 how he entered the house of God, and they ate the consecrated bread, which is not lawful for him to eat, nor for those with him, but for the priests alone?  Jesus makes reference to 1 Samuel 21:6. It is called the “show bread” or the “loaves of presentation” because it was publicly set out. What David ate was bread that had been removed, not that which was freshly baked and ready for the table. But still, according to the Law of Moses, it was to be eaten only by the priests (see Lev 24:5-9).  The Pharisees would never have condemned David’s eating of the bread. They would never say David broke the Law. But now they are finding fault with Jesus’ men because they broke the law of the uninspired traditions of ...

From: https://www.biblecharts.org/wp-content/uploads/2024/04/Overcoming-Unforgiveness-.-.-.-There-is-A-Time-to-Heal.pdf  (p.7) WHO MUST TAKE THE INITIATIVE IN THE MATTER OF EFFECTING FORGIVENESS? A. The offender. Matthew 5:23-24 - Therefore if you bring your gift to the altar, and there remember that your brother has something against you, leave your gift there before the altar, and go your way. First be reconciled to your brother, and then come and offer your gift. 1. Before an offender can worship scripturally, he must first get things straightened out with the offended one. 2. The shortest distance way to God may be the distance to your brother’s house. 3. If the inspired instructions of this passage were followed, a lot of worship services would be delayed until the brethren returned. 4. Friends, there is no use trying to talk to God if we are not on speaking terms with our brother. B. The Offended. Matthew 18:15-17 - Moreover if your brother sins against you, go and tell him h...

  Jhn 12:42     Nevertheless many even of the rulers believed in Him, but because of the Pharisees they were not confessing  Him,  for fear that they would be put out of the synagogue; 雖然如此，官長中卻有好些信他的，只因法利賽人的緣故，就不承認，恐怕被趕出會堂。 Jhn 12:43     for they loved the approval of men rather than the approval of God. 這是因他們愛人的榮耀過於愛神的榮耀。 _____ Albert Barnes: The chief rulers - Members of the Sanhedrin - Nicodemus, Joseph, and others like them. 首席官長／統治者-猶太公會成員-Nicodemus、Joseph和其他像他們一樣的人。 Dictionary: Sanhedrin:  the  highest court of justice and the supreme council in  ancient  Jerusalem . 猶太公會：古代耶路撒冷的最高法院和最高議會。 Denny Petrillo (WVBS): “The rulers” include Nicodemus (3:1) and others of the Sanhedrin. ”官長／統治者” 包括尼哥底母（3：1）和其他猶太公會的人。

  Frank Himmel  https://vikingdrivechurchofchrist.com/articles/2019/07/07/the-apostles-judging-on-thrones   07/07/19  -  Textual Study One of our readers asked about Jesus’ promise to the apostles in  Matthew 19:28 : “And Jesus said to them, ‘Truly I say to you, that you who have followed Me, in the regeneration when the Son of Man will sit on His glorious throne, you also shall sit upon twelve thrones, judging the twelve tribes of Israel.” Understanding this promise hinges on the answer to several questions. What is the Regeneration? The word itself means a rebirth or a renewal. The specific term occurs only here and in  Titus 3:5  in the phrase  washing of regeneration,  a reference to baptism. When we are baptized into Christ we are raised to “walk in newness of life” ( Romans 6:4 ), hence we are “born again” ( John 3:3 ). Being a new creation ( 2 Corinthians 5:17 ) and putting on the new self ( Ephesians 4:24 ) are parallel ideas. Je...
