Question: According to the bible, do men have the power on earth to forgive sins? Your answer was "No. Only God is able to forgive sins (Matthew 9:6). Jesus, being God in human form, had the power to forgive sins on earth (Matthew 9:2-6, Mark 2:5-10). But the power to forgive sins was not given to any other human being." This is a lie, because the bible says in Matthew 9:2-8 " But that you may know that the Son of Man has power on earth to forgive sins..." Then Matthew 9:8 says: "Now when the multitudes saw it, they marveled and glorified God, who had given such power to men." Why did you lie to me?
