Sins are nothing more than going against God's commands. All have sinned. Since God is holy he can't abide the presence of sins even if he wanted to. He provided Christ, who died on the Cross for man's sins, upon whom, if you trust as Savior from sin, allows the person back into His presence. Acceptance of Christ is like accepting a pardon; it's the method of obtaining that forgiveness. The only sin not forgiven is rejection of the Holy Spirit. Since God, Christ and the Holy Spirit are of the same mind - to reject one is to reject them all. Just like a governor or president can pardon anyone of any crime that falls under their jurisdiction, you can choose to reject that pardon in which case the original sentence is still imposed.

According to Biblical account God is forgiving. In fact without sin there is no forgiveness. For people to choose either for or against God's will is a freedom He gave to us for a reason. If I chose to steal something which does not belong to me, I make a decision to "sin." It is not the availability of the options to sin which needs to be absent but rather my allowing myself to take that action which is unjust. God added forgiveness because His love for us supercedes our own impurity. So it cannot be the presence of sin which can call to question God's forgiving nature.

What is so special about Jesus forgiving sins?

Jesus forgiving sins is special because it demonstrates his divine authority and power as the Son of God.

This act of forgiveness also showed his compassion and love for humanity, offering them the opportunity to be forgiven and restored in their relationship with God.

What is a grant from the Catholic Church forgiving sins?

Roman Catholic AnswerThere is no such thing as a "grant from the Catholic Church forgiving sins"; it sounds like you are asking about indulgences, as there is a common misconception of many protestants that indulgences are a grant to forgive sins, I don't know where that came from but it's not true. Indulgences can be earned by someone who is in a state of grace, in other words, someone who has already had their sins forgiven by God in the confessional, not otherwise. There is no other normal way, on this earth, to have your sins forgiven then in the confessional, and that is most definitely not an indulgence.
