Forgiveness/Interfaith Dialog

1. When discussing the concept of religious forgiveness, it is necessary to look at the two dimensions the concept has in every religion, i.e. human and divine. In the Catholic tradition, the forgiveness of God is received through repentance in conjunction with the Body of Christ. Sins are confessed individually in the presence of a priest, and absolution is obtained as a formal expression by the Church of the forgiveness of God. Through the sacrament of Baptism the sin inherited from Adam also referred to as the original sin is absolved. As far as the sins committed after baptism, a different sacrament is needed. This consists of three phases, namely penance, confession and reconciliation. In the case of Christian forgiveness, it is important to look at a particular aspect i.e. the holy power invested in the priests, more precisely its religious justification. According to the Christian tradition (John and Luke), it was in his human capacity that Christ forgave people s sins during his life. Since he would not always be present to perform this sacrament, Christ gave his power to other men of the Church i.e. to his apostles who in turn, passed it on to their successors. Islam preaches about both types of forgiveness, beca


However, if the offense was committed against another human being, the transgressor must do everything humanly possible to rectify the wrong, as well as to ask for forgiveness from his fellow human before addressing Allah. use humans wrong both Allah and other humans. Although in some cases this might be true, and tolerance could appear as a result of indifference, I strongly believe that while you might not agree with what someone believes in and still hold your own beliefs very strongly, you also be tolerant with the other. The right to free expression is very important, and no one should be deprived of it simply because we do not like what he is saying. However, discussions and the free exchange of ideas is, in my opinion, the very heart of communication and information. According to the holy book of Islam, the Qur an, Allah is the Judge of all things, and thus has the capacity to punish but is not bound to do so. Religious freedom is made up of the right to follow one s own spiritual and religious path, the right to convert from one belief system to another, the right to communicate these beliefs with the hope of converting others, and the right to assemble with the purpose of conducting or taking part in religious practices such as services, seminars etc. Similarly to Islam, the first step towards forgiveness is recognizing the offense. The second phase consists of making a commitment before Allah not to repeat the offense, and the third is to sincerely ask for forgiveness. In the case of religion, to be tolerant is to accept others religious beliefs and practices which you might disagree with. the state religion, the government allows religious practices from other cults, and does not persecute their believers. Is religious tolerance actually religious indifference? Tolerance as a basic human quality can be defined as the capacity to accept and permit others beliefs to exist and be expressed even though they differ from your own.
