Forgiving Sins

Jesus could forgive sins because he was working worth God's authority, and his father was working through him.  

And Jesus 𝘢𝘭𝘴𝘰 gave his disciples the same authority through God's holy spirit. Does that make them Yahweh God almighty too? Course not.   

John 20:22-23 (KJV)  And when he had said this, he breathed on them, and saith unto them, Receive ye the Holy Ghost: Whose soever sins ye remit, they are remitted unto them; and whose soever sins ye retain, they are retained.
