The Greek definition of aphesis simply means freedom or pardon. Changing the English words in the texts only reinforces possible preconceived biases and does not solve the issue. Some people insist that remission is not the same as forgiveness, so replacing them with each other would not accomplish anything. We must got to the Greek definition, alone.
