Matthew 18
I consider that to Truly understand Forgiveness, is to Truly of been forgiven.
The way that we are forgiven cuts deep into us that we have the Spirit that if we have been forgiven so much and loved so much being evil, that we have no ground to not share that love and forgiveness that we have come to know.
The Bible says:
If you go back to the Old Testament is says:
Deuteronomy 29
Deuteronomy 30
Matthew 22
1 John 4

I wonder if simply because to trully forgive , we first had to recieve forgivness.
Also, if to forgive was a comand, then it would not really be forgivness, but simply an action comanded.
True forgivness is born from a heart of compassion and the understanding of the gift that it is.
A gift given to us in Jesus, a gift we give simply because, we in Jesus, know the value of this gift.
I guess simply said, forgivness is a gift.
God bless

Exodus 20:6 KJV
(6) And shewing mercy unto thousands of them that love me, and keep my commandments.
This verse is in the midst of the 10 commandments. Also just after God gave the 10 commandments He also gave the Sanctuary message which teaches all about Christ it teaches the gospel message. In Exodus God gave the Law & the gospel.

Yes, like when we tell our child to say "sorry" do they mean it, or are they doing what we command?
I often say to my son "forgive him" or did you "forgive him"... and while i'm trying to teach him it is only when he feels it that he will forgive others.
Of course small children teach us also the importance of forgiveness and patience for they put us to the test day in day out...
Peace and Blessings Pickles and thank you.

You have given me more to think about, as to why we teach our children to forgive.
Possibly so they will know mercy?
Or because forgivness is also a need so that one will be healed of the offence given?
In the end all comes from our Father above in Jesus because of His love for us.
God bless

From what I understand it was said aaaaalmost all will be forgiven if you truly repent.
If you abuse jesus you can be forgiven but if you wrong the holy ghost....
Also if someone tortures you, steals everything from you but your soul and faith cause they cant take that, violates and does to much bad to many times with no repent or remorse then they should not expect me to forgive them and with arrogance expect it of me while they still have not given back all they stole or repented for the evil things they did, calculated, planned with all there men and all they are and no remorse.
It with God to forgive them, not me if that how badly they wronged me.
If I forgiven them thousands of times for most horrid things and they just laugh at me, take me for granted and keep doing it then is it not stupid and foolish of me to allow them to treat me that way when they have no remorse.
Must i be friends with such a people who wronged me to many times.
Is it not "ok" for me to simply want nothing to do with them?
To want to move away from such people and not interact or have them around me in any way shape or form.
When they should be in jail and sentenced but nothing happens and noone punishes them for there crimes.
Why have law if we cheat on w in it.
and those truly guilty never get sentenced or put to justice.....
and nothing happens and with no remorse they arrogantly expect forgiveness and keep all they stole and keep doing bad time after time and noone corrects them cause they to educated and many of them and calculated.
May God know what to do with such a people.
Forgive is it is willed by God.
But I should not be expected to be with such whom harmed me and destroyed and taken everything etc and whom not even been punished and whom criminal to me and worse.
No, forgiving another soul or human is nice and if someone forgives the most horrid crime upon them but the one who did it just keeps doing it and worse things.
