Hello!
My name is Anders and I found your blog today.

Yes, when we do something bad, then we should ask for forgiveness. We should ask the Creator of forgiveness and ask our fellow men for forgiveness if we have done him/her anything bad.

I would like to take the opportunity to speak more about forgiveness as it is taught by Torah and was taught by the first century Jewish Messiah. It will be lengthy in order to make it understandable.

(To differentiate,)
This is what the Jewish Messiah must have taught about ‘salvation’ – if he was a legitimate prophet according to Deuteronomy 13:1-6 in Hebrew: He was called Y’hoshua and Christians later changed his name to “Jesus” and changed his teachings [See documentation at www.netzarim.co.il ].

As stipulated in Deuteronomy. 6:4-9,11:13-21 one is required to keep all of the directives of Torâh′ to one’s utmost—viz., “with all one’s heart, psyche and might [lit. "very"]“—”for the purpose of extending your days and the days of your children… like the days of the heavens above the earth” (i.e., eternal life). According to the Hebrew Bible, Ezekiel chapter 18 et.al, the Creator confer His atonement in His loving kindness to those and only those turning away from their Torah [Books of Moses]-transgressions and (re)turning to non-selectively observance of the commandments in the books of Moses. Everyone has transgressed the commandments in the books of Moses and it is possible to obtain forgiveness from the Creator in His loving kindness when living in the above way. The Creator has promised this in His Bible – which is in Hebrew – and He doesn’t lie.

Thus, the way of ‘salvation’ in NT, referred to in the NT, contradicts the books of Moses and what the Jewish first century Messiah called Y’hoshua taught. I am a former Christian and understand that after having studied Torah in Hebrew according to etymology. The Creator wants to forgive, but ONLY as long as we do our best to keep His Will.

According to Torah, the Creator is the ONLY one who can forgive Torah-transgressions committed towards Him. The Jewish Messiah would be a human according to the Messianic prophecies, NOT a ‘divine saviour’.

Doing your utmost to follow the directives of Torah – the books of Moses – will lead you into an immensely meaningful relationship with the Creator. I have been doing this for more than four years and it has led me into a great relationship with the Creator.

All the best!
