TradCatKnight: Fr. Voigt, "Which is easier to say?"
Which is easier to say? Your sins are forgiven or stand and walk. For God a single word is creative, prophetic and eternal. So what is the problem in this story? The problem lies in the intellect of each man and woman born under the pain of original sin. We lost the awesome gifts of immortality, impassibility and infused knowledge. The issue is right there and it is the question of infused knowledge. What we should be able to know of God we must struggle for in our day to day existence. We must read, reflect, meditate and contemplate the mystery that God has become one of us. The Jew would not accept this fact that only God can forgive sins and yet Jesus forgives sins and it is confirmed by the fact that the man was cured.
