- So, how does God forgive our transgressions ?

- First we should define the concept of "original sin". It means separation
- from God; the angel standing in front of Gan Eden with a flaming sword,
- or the curtain between the Holy of Holies and the outside world. When
- dying on the cross, the Messiah Yeshua made it again possible for us to
- enter the precense of God. God is Holy and in his precense all dirt just
- burns. In Yeshua we are clean. He is the atonement for all sins.
