Meaning of "Forgiveness" and "Sin"

"Forgiveness" and "sin" are among many words that have been purposely mistranslated in the Bible. The real meanings of these words have been kept hidden in order to support a false gospel. There is a completely different word for "forgiveness". It is "apheime", not "aphesin". There is no need for slaves to be forgiven for being slaves and for what is not held against them in the first place. What they need is LIBERATION! Only people who commit wrongdoing that is elective and willful can be forgiven because those wrongdoings are held against them.

Why are there no verses on liberation or being set free from sin? Nearly all (but nutcases) would admit that man needs the aid exclusively from God to be set free from slavery to sin, or being caused to fall short. The very idea of salvation is deliverance by God from sin. Hence the phrase "set free from sin". To set free is to liberate, and those who have been liberated or released have been set free. Which is why Galatians 5:1 says what it does: "Stand fast therefore in the liberty wherewith Christ hath made us free, and be not entangled again with the yoke of bondage."

The mistranslation of "Aphesis" as "forgiveness" was an act of "overkill" due to over zealous penal substitution advocates in the attempts to make it seem as though the scriptures support penal substitution.

The effect on verses when Aphesis is correctly translated as liberty, liberation, rather than "forgiveness".

In mark 3:28 "apheimi" is used when speaking of elective sins and blasphemies even against the Son, but in 3:29 it is "never has liberty into the eternity" for those who basically call the Holy Spirit is His testimony a lie. He is the One who witnesses to the world on the individual level. Christ doesn't.
