"Today is Yom Kippur, a Jewish day to atone for misdeeds and become cleansed and purified from them. Yom Kippur completes the annual period known in Judaism as the High Holy Days ("Days of Awe") that commences with Rosh Hashanah. The ten days from Rosh Hashanah to Yom Kippur correspond to the last ten days of the 40-day period Moses was on Mount Sinai receiving the second set of tablets.

According to Jewish tradition, God inscribes each person's fate for the coming year into a book, the Book of Life, on Rosh Hashanah, and waits until Yom Kippur to "seal" the verdict. During the Days of Awe, a Jew tries to amend their behavior and seek forgiveness for wrongs done against God and against other human beings. The evening and day of Yom Kippur are set aside for public and private petitions and confessions of guilt. At the end of Yom Kippur, one hopes that they have been forgiven by God."

MAY WE ALL BE INSCRIBED IN THE BOOK OF LIFE!

That's the difference.... maybe vs are.. forgiven.

Blessed assurance. I agree with,whatever floats your boat.
