Who bears guilt?

Question

GAL 6:2 Bear ye one another's burdens, and so fulfil the law of Christ.

GAL 6:5 For every man shall bear his own burden.

Then if not guilt, who bears the burden?

Answer 1

LOL...burdens are not guilt. Hey! You look like you're for real...gee... Christ bears the guilt, we bear each others struggles....'he ain't heavy, he's my brother.'

Answer 2

Guilt for what? The two statements are part of the same thought. But you left out parts of it. True, we bear our own burdens, but when those burdens become too great, others step in to assist. Pretty much a non-brainer.
Guilt is not a part of it.

Answer 3

Guilt is not the issue the issue is burdens. There are two different words for burdens in the mentioned scriptures. Gal 6:5 uses the greek word PHORTION and it refers to a physical burden, such as labor or luggage. Meaning that any physical assignment given to me, I must myself endure it. Where as in Gal 6:2 uses the greek word BAROS refers to troublesome moral faults, such as addiction, homosexuality etc. This means that when we see people in this condition we must assist them in overcoming them in any way possible

Answer 4

Everyone who sins bears guilt, that is the result of sin. Many though after repeated sin cease feeling guilty and that is really bad for them. Guilt is like pain, when we don't feel it great damage is done without our knowing it.

Answer 5

guilt and burdens are not the same.

Answer 6

They are not the same... but for the sake of this, lets assume they are.

Lets assume that it means that we should help others as much as its within our ability.... and also that while it is great to have help and support, that we should be prepared to take care of ourselves.

Answer 7

Its sure nice to get a little help with the load.
