There is no biblical basis for the assertion that Jesus forgave in separate capacities.
“There is no biblical basis for the assertion that Jesus forgave in separate capacities.”
Jesus was a man, and every man forgives in a different capacity from how God forgives. If you sin against me, I can forgive you for the harm you did to me, but I cannot forgive you for trespassing against God’s law. And yes, there is Biblical basis for this assertion in regards to Jesus, because Jesus spoke the Lord’s Prayer as an example to us, which contains the following, explicitly speaking of personal forgiveness:
“Lord, forgive us our trespasses, as we forgive those who trespass against us.”
Jesus spoke those words, showing that Jesus also recognized and practiced the two separate forms of forgiveness, the public (the Lord forgiving us) and the private (we ourselves forgiving others).
