YES - He declares that
he "Keeps mercy for thousands, forgiving iniquity and transgression and
sin." NO - He also declares that he "will by no means clear
the guilty." The only way that a holy, righteous, just, and true God can
forgive sin is by putting it away, annihilating it, making it non-existent in
the eyes of his law. This he has done for all who believe by the sacrifice of
his own Son, the Lord Jesus Christ. "He is FAITHFUL and JUST
to forgive us of our sins" upon the merits of Christ.
