In Judaism, the concept of asking for forgiveness plays a significant role in the process of salvation, known as Teshuvah. While the idea of salvation may not be as central in Judaism as it is in Christianity, seeking forgiveness is considered essential for spiritual growth and reconciliation with both other people and with God. However, according to the word of God repentance is the only way to salvation and not asking for forgiveness.
Here are some key points regarding forgiveness and salvation in Judaism.
Repentance (Teshuvah): In Judaism, the process of Teshuvah involves acknowledging one's mistakes, feeling genuine remorse, making amends with those who have been wronged, and committing to positive change by asking for forgiveness. By seeking forgiveness from others and God, individuals strive to improve themselves and their relationships. Once again; according to the word of God repentance is the only way to salvation and not asking for forgiveness.
Day of Atonement (Yom Kippur): Yom Kippur is the holiest day in the Jewish calendar, during which Jews engage in fasting, prayer, and reflection. It is a time for seeking forgiveness from God and for reflecting on one's actions over the past year. Yom Kippur emphasizes the importance of asking for forgiveness and atonement.
Forgiveness from Others: In addition to seeking forgiveness from God, Judaism emphasizes the importance of seeking forgiveness from those whom one has wronged. It is believed that sincere apologies and efforts to make amends are crucial for repairing relationships and moving forward positively.
Needless to say, I have never seen that in action with a mass grave of 400 murdered Palestinians being found in Gaza, including many children who had been buried alive. This is an abomination in the eyes of the Lord and he will not forgive these barbarous acts of brutality from the IDF and Netanyahu.
Salvation: While the concept of salvation in Judaism differs vastly from other religions, the emphasis is often on leading a righteous life, following the commandments, and being accountable for one's actions. Salvation in Judaism is often seen as a collective rather than individual process, focusing on the well-being of the community and the world while the Bible places all emphasis on individual salvation,
Overall, while asking for forgiveness is an important aspect of Jewish tradition and practice, the concept of salvation in Judaism is multifaceted and does not align with the word of God. Asking for forgiveness, and striving to lead a moral and ethical life are key principles in Jewish teachings that have yet to be applied in the last two and a half thousand years.
