Refer to the following Bible verses. It seems that Jesus forgave sins AS A MAN. Is this correct? Can you flesh it out a little? Mt 9:6, 9:8 (cf Mk 2:10, Lk 5:24). What is the relationship between his forgiving sins as God and forgiving them as the Son of Man?

Thank you!
 
Hi,

Sins are human actions that betray God. Only He can forgive sins. Jesus is both God and man. It is by His divine nature that Jesus forgives our sins. But it is through His human natue, that He makes this known to us.

Fr. Vincent Serpa, O.P.
