Jesus saw their faith. So he said to the man, “Son, your sins are forgiven.”
“Why is this fellow talking like that? He’s saying a very evil thing! Only God can forgive sins!”

I destroy every claim and every reason that keeps people from knowing God. I keep every thought under control in order to make it obey Christ.
