Sin, Repentance & Divine Forgiveness Continuation of Seven Dispensation of Mankind The term ‘dispensation’ designates a period of time during which {1} God’s progressive revelation to man, {2} His sovereign will made known in history, and {3}man’s response to God’s revelation represent a distinct era in the history of mankind. It is clear, however, that Salvation has been by GRACE in every one of the dispensations.
Dispensation of GRACE Paul referred to this present dispensation (stewardship) in Ephesians 3:2 "if ye have heard of the dispensation of the grace of God which is given me to you ward [toward you]." The Apostle Peter also mentions this important stewardship in 1 Peter 4:10 "As every man hath received the gift, even so minister the same one to another as good stewards of the manifold grace of God." God gave to Abraham special promises and God gave to Moses His holy law. Today the Lord has given to believers a special understanding of the GRACE OF GOD. God is making known His grace in a very special way in this present dispensation. God has always been a GRACIOUS GOD. God was gracious to Adam and Eve when He provided them with coats of skins (Genesis 3:21). God was gracious to Noah (Genesis 6:8) and God was gracious to the whole earth when He promised never again to bring a world-wide flood (Genesis 9:11). God was gracious to Abraham and Moses and David and John the Baptist. But God's grace is most clearly seen today. In past ages God's grace was like a stream. The stream was always there and it was always flowing and the water of God's grace could be seen in every age. Today, however, the stream of God's grace has become a mighty river and has FLOODED its banks. God's grace is seen in a way that it was never seen before. Today God's grace is not only flowing but it is OVERFLOWING. God's grace not only abounds but it SUPER-ABOUNDS! Today the grace of our Lord is "E__________________ A__________________ " (1 Timothy 1:14).
SIN, Repentance & Forgiveness Historical in the Jews Feasts – There is the time of Teshuvah {Repentance} In the Jewish tradition Moses shattered the tablets on the 17th of Tammuz, after he came down from Sinai and found the people worshipping the Golden Calf.This tragedy was seen as prophetic, since it was on the this same date the walls do Jerusalem were breached by the invading armies of Nebuchadnezzar {2 Kings 235:2-7}, and event which led to the destruction of the Temple and the exile of the people three weeks later, that is, on the ninth of Av.

SIN, Repentance & Forgiveness The unlocking of the word Sorrow in Hebrew and Greek Hebrew word for Sorrow is: its-tsaw-bone' means worrisomeness i.e. labour or pain, toil and sorrow. Further breakdown of the word Sorrow in Hebrew: ‘atsab,' which means to carve, i.e. fabricate or fashion; hence (in a bad sense) to worry, pain or anger: displease, grieve,hurt, make, be sorry, vex, worship, wrest. When the Bride of Christ, the Children of God began to worry or being worried they began to fabricate or fashion their thoughts and mindset over to the spirit of deception,which then resulted in spiritual grieve, spiritual displeasure unto the Lord and a form of worship unto the kingdom of darkness.

Sin & Presumption Sin Enneagram of Sin A Spiritual Warning to Mankind! Ezekiel 18:4 Behold, all souls are mine; as the soul of the father, so also the soul of the son is mine: the soul that sinneth, it shall die. The Enneagram comes out of a spiritual direction tradition so it speaks the language of sin. The teaching is that each type has it’s characteristic sin which disrupts the journey toward wholeness in God the Father. Sin shapes lifes.
Sin & Presumption Sin To use Apostle Paul’s language, SIN enslaves,dictating the direction of human life. The direction is dynamic, gaining speed and intensity, leading to greater and greater iniquityRoman 6:19. Enneagram of Sin In Christianity there are seven "Cardinal Sins" but there are nine personality types. The Enneagram appears to add the two new sins of Deceit and Fear. These sins come from the Eastern religious tradition but are present in the Christian tradition as well.

Mark 2:17 When Jesus heard it, he saith unto them, They that are whole have no need of the physician, but they that are sick: I came not to call the righteous, but sinners to repentance. Repentance done God’s Way cancelled Satan’s Contract of Spiritual death from off your Soul!
