Now that is the Jerusalem that you were reffering to.

Now to show you the true Jerusalem.

But Jerusalem which is above is free, which is the mother of us all. 

But ye are come unto mount Sion, and unto the city of the living God, the heavenly Jerusalem, and to an innumerable company of angels, 

Him that overcometh will I make a pillar in the temple of my God, and he shall go no more out: and I will write upon him the name of my God, and the name of the city of my God, which is new Jerusalem, which cometh down out of heaven from my God: and I will write upon him my new name. 

And I John saw the holy city, new Jerusalem, coming down from God out of heaven, prepared as a bride adorned for her husband 

Show me where my sin was forgiven.( spiritwalker)

isaiah... Repent, and be baptized every one of you in the name of Jesus Christ for the remission of sins

And now why tarriest thou? arise, and be baptized, and wash away thy sins, calling on the name of the Lord.

Repent ye therefore, and be converted, that your sins may be blotted out, when the times of refreshing shall come from the presence of the Lord;

Keep me as a beggar longing for a taste of grace.( spiritwalker)

isaiah..... But now, after that ye have known God, or rather are known of God, how turn ye again to the weak and beggarly elements, whereunto ye desire again to be in bondage?

Why be a beggar when you can be a chosen generation, a royal priesthood, an holy nation, a peculiar people; that ye should shew forth the praises of him who hath called you out of darkness into his marvellous light

Show me where my heroes lived the life I'm longing for.  Take me to the cross.( SPIRITWALKER)

isaiah... how about reading Hebrews chapter 11... this is where you will find the cross and the heros' of faith
