Mark 2:1-12 Yeshua forgave sins

In the hebrew scriptures the root S-L-CH is always and only used of an action performed by G-d. See the passages below (look into the Hebrew, this hebrew root word is never used in the Hebrew scriptures to describe a man forgiving another):

Jeremiah 31:34 And they shall teach no more every man his neighbor, and every man his brother, saying, Know the LORD: for they shall all know me, from the least of them to the greatest of them, said the LORD: for I will forgive their iniquity, and I will remember their sin no more.

Micah 7:18 Who is a G-d like to you, that pardons iniquity, and passes by the transgression of the remnant of his heritage? he retains not his anger for ever, because he delights in mercy.

It is never something one human being for another. The people quite rightly asked in Mark 2, who can forgive sins besides G-d alone!

Also Colossians 1:19,2:9 (I know this isn’t Torah) states, all the fullness of deity dwells bodily…

Shalom,
Stephen
