Bible Verses about Forgiveness

I love what the Bible says on forgiveness. Add your own favorite in the comment box. These verses about Forgiveness are selected from the ESV Bible. May God bless you and his Word.

Jesus Is Our Model Of Forgiveness

Luke 23:33-34 ESV And when they came to the place that is called The Skull, there they crucified him, and the criminals, one on his right and one on his left. (34) And Jesus said, “Father, forgive them, for they know not what they do.” And they cast lots to divide his garments.

Jesus Commanded Forgiveness

Mark 11:25 ESV And whenever you stand praying, forgive, if you have anything against anyone, so that your Father also who is in heaven may forgive you your trespasses.”

Matthew 6:14-15 ESV For if you forgive others their trespasses, your heavenly Father will also forgive you, (15) but if you do not forgive others their trespasses, neither will your Father forgive your trespasses.

Luke 17:3-4 ESV Pay attention to yourselves! If your brother sins, rebuke him, and if he repents, forgive him, (4) and if he sins against you seven times in the day, and turns to you seven times, saying, ‘I repent,’ you must forgive him.”

Matthew 18:21-22 ESV Then Peter came up and said to him, “Lord, how often will my brother sin against me, and I forgive him? As many as seven times?” (22) Jesus said to him, “I do not say to you seven times, but seventy times seven.

Luke 6:36-37 ESV Be merciful, even as your Father is merciful. (37) “Judge not, and you will not be judged; condemn not, and you will not be condemned; forgive, and you will be forgiven;

Matthew 5:44 ESV But I say to you, Love your enemies and pray for those who persecute you,

Because God Has Forgiven Us, We Must Forgive Others

Ephesians 4:32 ESV Be kind to one another, tenderhearted, forgiving one another, as God in Christ forgave you.

Husband and wife

1"Love your wife as Christ loved the Church."(Ephesians 5:25) Risk your life to help or save your wife. Christ's love for the church is without limits, nothing is held back. He gave His life for the church - before you loved Him. His love does not depend on your love for Him. Under God's authority - love your wife as service--as giving your life to God.

2"Love your wife in the same way you love your body and your life."(Ephesians 5:28-33) You care for your body daily to be as well fed and healthy as possible. You quickly take care of any needs or desires. Any sexual desire as a husband should be cared for with your wife. In the same way, care for your wife's needs and well being. Feel your wife's pain and illness and rejoice in her health as if it were your own life. A husband must see his wife's sexual desires and make supreme efforts to meet those needs too. Basically, her need or desire whether financial, physical, emotional or spiritual in your relationship must receive your full effort. Only in this way can you love her and provide for her just as well as you do for yourself.

3"Be considerate as you live with your wife, with respect ..."(I Peter 3:7) The Bible says that if we neglect this command, our prayers will be hindered! To be considerate, quit any irritating habits! When she needs to be helped carrying heavy items, do it! If she needs time you can take care of the family! Help your wife with all of your energy, show your love to her with all consideration. Pray to see where you may be inconsiderate.

4"Do not be harsh with your wife."(Colossians 3:19) When a wife is sensitive realize that harsh answers, angry looks, irritated tones of voice and impatience will deeply affect your wife. Rejoice that she is a lady and isn't like you - remember that she is a precious gift God has given you.

Who is the Father of Jesus?

Is Jesus the son of Allah? The Qur'an says no. Yet it is also entirely consistent with the Qur'an to consider Allah the Father of Jesus for the following reasons:
1) Allah caused Mary to become pregnant with Jesus
2) Allah determined some of the physical characteristics of Jesus
3) All of the genetic characteristics of Jesus were determined by just two parties: Allah and Mary.

A Muslim might argue "Being a father implies having sex", and therfore Allah cannot be the father. Not necessarily so. Modern science has brought us "test tube babies", which are conceived without any sex. There is nothing to support the idea that if Allah wants a baby, he must resort to normal human means to have one.
Again, a Muslim may say that if we are going to call Jesus the son of Allah, then we should say that Adam is the son of Allah too. No, we cannot compare Adam to Jesus this way because Adam came into existence without a mother.
Let us first review some background material. What does the Qur'an say about how Mary became pregnant with Jesus? In Surah 3:45-49 we read:

The angels said to Mary: "Allah bids you rejoice in a word from him. His name is the Messiah, Jesus the son of Mary. He shall be noble in this world and the hereafter, and shall be favored by Allah. He shall preach to men in his cradle and the prime of manhood, and shall lead a righteous life."
"Lord", she said, "how can I bear a child when no man has touched me?"
He replied: "Such is the will of Allah. He creates whom He will. When He decrees a thing He need only say: 'Be' and it is. He will instruct him in the Scriptures and in wisdom, in the Torah and in the Gospel, and send him forth as an apostle to the Israelites..."

From this passage we can draw the conclusions presented above:
1) Allah caused Mary to become pregnant with Jesus. Muslims infer from this passage and others like it that Jesus was conceived while Mary was a virgin by the word spoken by Allah, and not by a man.
Not that this in itself implies that Allah is the father. When a doctor causes a woman to become pregnant by artificial insemination, he is not considered the father. Hence the following two points:
2) Allah determined some of the physical characteristics of Jesus. 
When Allah said "Be", did he have something specific in mind? Certainly! Allah had a very detailed plan in mind for Jesus. In particular, Allah decided that Jesus would be male. Normally, it is the sperm that decides the gender of the baby. Here Allah made the choice instead.
3) All of the genetic characteristics of Jesus were determined by precisely two parties: Allah and Mary. 
This is clear because they were the only two parties involved. So we conclude that Allah and Mary are the only two possible candidates for the title "Father".
Hence it appears legitimate to call Allah the father of Jesus, at least in a figurative sense. Therefore we are at a loss to explain why the Qur'an spends so much space arguing against this. Certainly more and better justification is needed than what appears in these passages:

Surely they lie when they declare: "Allah has begotten children".
-- Sura 37:151

Where is the "lie" in our reasoning above?

They say: "Allah has begotten a Son". Glory be to Him! His is what the heavens and the earth contain; all things are obedient to Him. Creator of the heavens and the earth! When he decrees a thing, He need only say "Be", and it is.
-- Sura 2:116

Allah made Mary pregnant. What more would Allah have to do if he wanted a legitimate son?

Allah forbid that He Himself should beget a son! When He decrees a thing He need only say "Be," and it is. -- Sura 19:35

So is Allah unable to beget a son by saying "Be"?

Say: "If the Lord of Mercy had a son, I would be the first to worship him". -- Sura 43:82

We would prefer something more convincing from the Qur'an than this.

	Islam: Truth or Myth? start page

The Muslim Claim that the Qur'an is unchanged:No other book in the world can match the Qur'an ... The astonishing fact about this book of ALLAH is that it has remained unchanged, even to a dot, over the last fourteen hundred years. ... No variation of text can be found in it. You can check this for yourself by listening to the recitation of Muslims from different parts of the world. (Basic Principles of Islam, Abu Dhabi, UAE: The Zayed Bin Sultan Al Nahayan Charitable & Humanitarian Foundation, 1996, p 4)

Many Variant Readings of the Quran

1. "Muslims attack the Bible on the grounds that it sometimes has conflicting wording from different manuscripts. Yet this is exactly the case with the text of the Quran. There are many conflicting readings on the text of the Quran as Arthur Jeffery has demonstrated in his book, Material for the History of the Text of the Quran" (New York, Russell F. Moore, 1952).
2. Mentions Variant readings in the Koran: Dashti, 23 Years, p. 28
3. Mentions Variant readings in the Koran: Mandudi, Meaning of the Quran, pp. 17-18
4. Mentions Variant readings in the Koran: McClintock and Strong, Cyclopedia, V152).
5. "[the Koran] had a large number of variants, not always trifling in significance" (Islam, p. 189).
6. "It is interesting to note that in scholarly Muslim journals, there is beginning to be a grudging acknowledgment of the fact that there are variant and conflicting readings on the text of the Quran" (One example would be Saleh al-Wahaihu, "A Study of Seven Quranic Variants," International Journal of Islamic and Arabic Studies, Vol. V (1989), #2, pp. 1-57).
7. "The Muslin accounts of the history of the Quran texts are a mass of confusion, contradiction and inconsistencies" (Burton, Collection, p. 231).
8. "Abdollah renounced Islam on the ground that the revelations, if from God, could not be changed at the prompting of a scribe such as he. After his apostasy he went to Mecca and joined the Qorayshites" (Dashti, 23 Years, p. 98).
9. "There being some passages in the Quran which are contradictory, the Muhammadan doctors obviate any objection from thence by the doctrine of abrogation; for they say that God in the Quran commanded several things which were for good reasons afterwards revoked and abrogated" (E. Wherry, A Comprehensive Commentary on the Qurun, p. 110).
10. "It is to us astounding how so compromising a procedure can have been permitted to be introduced into the system by friends and foes (Canon Sell in his work, Historical Development of the Qura, Madras: Diocesan Press, 1923, pp. 36-37).
11. "When Muhammad died there existed no singular codex of the sacred text" (Caesar Farah, Islam: Beliefs and Observations, New York; Barrons, 1987, p. 28).
12. "One thing only is certain and is openly recognized by tradition, namely, that there was not in existence any collection of revelations in the final form, because, as long as he was alive, new revelations were being added to the earlier ones" (The Shorter Encyclopedia of Islam p. 271).

The proof the Muslim claim is false, is in this book:

As you can see, the boxed text is the text of the Qur'an and the margins at the left and the bottom are variant readings. There are more known variants than this book includes. Even worse, there are more than readers in existence, but this book limits the variants to only these 10 readers. Click photos for enlargement

What Muslim and non-Muslim scholars say about the known variations/versions within the Qur'an being used in the world today:

Authors of the Quran:-

                                

       

       Anyone researching and investigating the origins of the Quran will find that a lot of people were involved in its compilation and construction.

       Unknown to the vast majority of Muhammadans, and buried deep inside the Quran, Ahadith and Sirah, there is copious evidence to reject, out of hand, the contention that the Quran is the creation of Allah.

       Making Allah the author of the Quran, is the prime and most groteque lie and deception that was ever perpetrated upon the human intellect for more than 1400 years.

       

       One can say with a great measure of certainty, that the Quran was either composed or inspired and written by a few other individuals. The most notable among them were:

Imrul Qays-                an ancient poet of Arabia who died a few decades before                                        Muhammad's birth

Zayd b. Amr b. Naufal-        an 'apostate' of his time who preached and propagated Hanifism

Labid-                        another poet

Hasan b. Thabit-                the official poet of Muhammad

Salman -                         the Persian-Muhammad's confidante' and an advisor

Bahira-                        a Nestoraian Christian monk of the Syrian church

Jabr-                                a Christian neighbour of Muhammad

Ibn Qumta-                a Christian slave

Khadijah-                        Muhammad's first wife

Waraqa-                        Khadijah's cousin brother

Ubay b. Ka'b-                Muhammad's secretary and a Qur'an scribe

Muhammad -                himself

Bahira

       Bahira was a Nestorian Christian monk who lived in Sham (Syria). His Christian name wasSergius or Georgius. It is believed that he was expelled from the monastery for certain offences. To expiate it, he set out on a mission to Arabia.

       In Mecca, he met Muhammad, became intimate with him and stayed with him. He had confidential conversations with Muhammad, in which he surely told Muhammad many facets of Christianity. The verses in the Quran dealing with Christianity must have emanated from Bahira, the monk. Muhammadsimply re-wrote them with the help of his Quran collectors or scribes.

       It is believed that the Quranic verses on the Psalms of David were actually the contribution of Bahira.These verses are:

4.163 We have sent thee inspiration, as We sent it to Noah and the Messengers after him: we sent inspiration to Abraham, Isma'il, Isaac, Jacob and the Tribes, to Jesus, Job, Jonah, Aaron, and Solomon, and to David We gave the Psalms [Zaboura].

17.55 And it is your Lord that knoweth best all beings that are in the heavens and on earth: We did bestow on some prophets more (and other) gifts than on others: and We gave to David (the gift of) the Psalms[Zaboura].

21.105 Before this We wrote in the Psalms [al Zabouri], after the Message (given to Moses): My servants the righteous, shall inherit the earth."

[In fact, the Dictionary Islam (p.698) writes that the last quoted verse (21.105) is a direct quote from Psalm 37.29]

Psalm 37:29 " The righteous will inherit the earth and dwell forever upon it"

       Here are some sample verses which most likely were contributed by Bahira:

2:101        And when came to them an Apostle from Allah confirming what was with them a party of the people of the Book threw away the Book of Allah behind their backs as if (it had been something) they did not know!

       ***Even when Muhammad confirmed the previous scriptures, the Jews and the Christiansrejected him ***

2:113        The Jews say: "The Christians have naught (to stand) upon"; and the Christians say: "The Jews have naught (to stand) upon."  Yet they (profess to) study the (same) Book.  Like unto their word is what those say who know not but Allah will judge between them in their quarrel on the Day of Judgment

       *** The Quran implies that the Jews and the Christians quarrel with each other even though they study the same book.

       Of course the Quran is, as usual, WRONG, since the Jews and Christians have no quarrel with each other regarding the Hebrew Bible but ONLY regarding the New Testament which theJews do not accept since it is not part of the Divine Revelations at Mount Sinai***

2:139        Say: Will ye dispute with us about Allah seeing that He is our Lord and your Lord;that we are responsible for our doings and ye for yours; and that we are sincere (in our faith) in Him?

       *** This verse implies that the 'Islamic', the Jewish and the Christian God is the same God,do not argue on this; Allah will reward each group according to their deeds…

       In reality, Allah was never the god of Israel or of Jesus since Allah was ONLY the name of the rock god of the Ka'ba, the Black Stone***

3:23 The Jews and the Christians are invited to believe in the Book of Allah to settle their disputes...

       *** The Quran has nothing either equal to or superior to anythnig that it, theQURAN, had PLAGIARIZED, PLUNDERED, PIRATED and/or PERVERTED from the BIBLE, to justify that the People of the Book should believe in it or to use it as a GUIDE ***

3:78 Some Jews and Christians twisted their scriptures and passed them as Allah's messages…

Ina maana gani Yesu kuwa Mwana wa Mungu?

Yesu si Mwana wa Mungu kulingana na ubaba wa kawaida wa binadamu. Mungu hakuoa na kupata mwana wa kiume. Mungu hakufanya tendo la ndoa na Mariamu, na pamoja naye kuzaa mtoto wa kiume. Yesu ni Mungu katika hali kwamba ni Mungu anajithirihisha kama mwili. (Yohana 1:1, 14) Yesu ni mwana wa Mungu kwa dhana kwamba Mariamu alipata mimba kupitia Roho Mtakatifu. Luka 1:35 yasema, “Malaika akajibu akamwambia, Roho Mtakatifu atakujilia juu yako, na nguvu zake Aliye juu zitakufunika kama kivuli; kwa sababu hiyo hicho kitakachozaliwa kitaitwa kitakatifu, Mwana wa Mungu.”

Wakati wa kujaribiwa kwake mbele ya viongozi wa Kiyahudi, kuhani mkuu alimtaka Yesu, “Nakuapisha kwa Mungu aliye hai, utuambie kama wewe ndiwe Kristo, Mwana wa Mungu” (Mathayo 26:63). “Yesu akamwambia wewe umesema,’ Yesu akamwambia, wewe umesema; lakini nawaambieni, Tangu sasa mtamwona Mwana wa Adamu ameketi mkono wa kuume wa nguvu, akija juu ya mawingu ya mbinguni” (Mathayo 26:64) viongozi wa Kiyahudi walimdhania kwa kukufuru (Mathayo 26:65-66). Baadaye mbele ya Pilato, “Wayahudi wakamjibu, Sisi tunayo sheria, na kwa sheria hiyo amestahili kufa, kwa sababu alijifanya kuwa Mwana wa Mungu” Yohana 19:7) ni kwa nini makisio yake kuwa Mwana wa Mungu yachukuliwe kuwa kufuru na astahili hukumu ya kifo? Wayahudi wilielewa vizuri sana chenye Yesu alimaanisha kwa maneno haya “Mwana wa Mungu” kuwa Mwana wa Mungu ni kuwa hali moja na Mungu. Mwana wa Mungu “wa Mungu” kusema uko katika hali sawa na Mungu-hakika kuwa Mungu- kulikuwa sawa na kukufuru kwa viongozi wa Kiyahudi; kwa hivyo walimtaka Yesu auwawe, kulingana na Mambo ya Nyakati 24:15. Waebrania 1:3 inadhihirisha haya wazi, “Yeye kwa kuwa ni mng’ao wa utukufu wake, akiisha kufanya utakaso wa dhambi, aliketi mkono wa kuume wa Ukuu huko juu.”

Mfano mwingine unaweza patikana katika Yohana 17:12 mahali Yuda anaelezwa kama mwana wa “upotevu”? jina upotevu lamaanisha “uharibivu” Yuda hakuwa mwana wa uharibivu, lakini mambo hayo ndio ya kutambulisha maisha ya Yuda. Yuda anadhihirisha upotevu. Vile vile Yesu mwana wa Mungu. Ni Mungu anajidhihirisha (Yohana 1:1,14).

Je, u mungu wa kristo ni kibiblia?

Pamoja na mengine yote Yesu aliyoyasema juu yake mwenyewe, wanafunzi wake waliamini u mungu wake pia. Waliamini kuwa Yesu alikuwa na uwezo wa kusamehe dhambi jambo ambalo Mungu pekee ndiye mwenye uwezo nalo kwa kuwa ni Mungu anayechukizwa na dhambi (Matendo 5:31; Wakolosai 3:13; na kuendelea. Zaburi 130:4; Yeremia 31:34). Pamoja na haya Yesu ndiye atakayekuja, “kuhukumu wafu na walio hai” (Timotheo wa pili 4:1). Tomaso akamlilia Yesu Akisema, “Bwana wangu na Mungu wangu!” (Yohana 20:28). Paulo anamwita Yesu, “ Mungu Mkuu na Mwokozi” (Tito 2:13), na anaelezea ya kuwa Yesu, “alikuwa katika hali ya Mungu” (Wafilipi 2:5-8). Mwandishi wa kitabu cha waebrania asema juu ya Yesu kuwa, “ Kiti chako cha enzi wewe Mungu, kitadumu milele na milele” (Waebrania 1:8). Yohana aeleza kuwa, “Hapo mwanzo kulikuwako neno, naye neno alikuwako kwa Mungu, naye neno (Yesu) alikuwa Mungu” (Yohana 1:1). Mifano ya aya zinazofundisha juu ya u Mungu wa Yesu ni mingi (pia Ufunuo wa Yohana 1:17; 2:8; 22:13; Wakorintho wa kwanza 10:4; Petro wa kwanza 2:6-8; Zaburi 18:2; 95:1; Petro wa kwanza 5:4; Waebrania 13:20), kila mojawapo ya aya hizi inatosha kukujulisha ya kwamba wanafunzi wa Yesu walimwamini kuwa Yesu alikuwa Mungu.

Yesu pia apatiwa adhama ambazo zina Yahweh pekee (Jina maalum la Mungu) katika agano la kale. Adhama ya “Mkombozi” (Zaburi 130:7; Hosea 13:14) inatumika juu ya Yesu katika agano jipya. (Tito 2:13; Ufunuo wa Yohana 5:9). Yesu anaitwa Immanueli (“Mungu pamoja nasi” katika mathayo 1). Katika Zakaria 12:10, ni Yahweh anayesema, “watanitazama mimi waliyenipasua.” Lakini agano jipya haya yanatumika kwa kusulibiwa kwake Yesu (Yohana 19:37; ufunuo wa Yohana 1:7). Kama ni Yahweh mwenye kupasuliwa na mwenye kutazamwa, na Yesu ndiye aliyepasuliwa na kutazamwa basi Yahweh ni Yesu. Paulo anatafsiri Isaya 45:22-23 kama yale ya Yesu katika wafilipi 2:10-11. Pia Jina la Yesu linatumika pamoja na la Yahweh katika sala, “Neema na amani kutoka kwa Mungu baba na Bwana wetu Yesu kristo iwe kwenu” (Wagalatia 1:3; Waefeso 1:2). Hili lingekuwa kufuru kama Yesu hangekuwa Mungu. Jina la Yesu linapatikana tena na la Yahweh katika amrisho la ubatizo Yesu aliposema, “kwa Jina la Baba na la Mwana na Roho Mtakatifu” (Mathayo 28:19; pia tazama wakorintho wa pili 13:14.

Matendo ambayo yanaweza kufanywa na Mungu Pekee yanaonyeshwa yakifanywa na Yesu. Licha ya kuwa alifufua wafu (Yohana 5:21; 11:38-44), na kusamehe dhambi (Matendo 5:31; 13 38), aliumba ulimwengu (Yohana 1:2; Wakolosai 1: 16-17)! Jambo hili linatia msisitizo wakati tunapochukulia ya kwamba Yahweh aliumba akiwa peke yake. (Isaya 44:24). Hata hivyo, Yesu ana sifa sawa na Mungu, kama Umilele (Yohana 8:58), kuwa kila mahali (Mathayo 18:20, 28:20), kufahamu yote (Mathayo 16:21), muweza yote (Yohana 11:38-44).
