This is how my heavenly Father will treat each of you unless you forgive your brother from your heart
Matt 18:35
"A person can forgive everyone who ever did something against him, it does not mean he will get to heaven. Thats your first flaw.
(Personally I believe Christ is the only one who ever fulfilled this.so the point is mute)"
The first quote is the bible, implying that we are to forgive all from the heart, or at least our brothers in Christ.
Based on the Lords prayer, we are to forgive all because God has forgiven us.
The second quote is someone who actually believes forgiving all is impossible for man and only God.
This same individual claims one can walk in purity of heart, and true cleansing by God, except what they mean is not obviously
forgiving everyone we know who we hold something against.
Now for some this is a salvation issue, based on the following
For if you forgive men when they sin against you, your heavenly Father will also forgive you.
But if you do not forgive men their sins, your Father will not forgive your sins.
Matt 6:14-15
And when you stand praying, if you hold anything against anyone, forgive him, so that your Father in heaven may forgive you your sins."
Mark 11:25
Do not judge, and you will not be judged. Do not condemn, and you will not be condemned. Forgive, and you will be forgiven.
Luke 6:37
In double speak it is impossible to get honest answers out of some.
For me, if forgiving is a choice we can exercise we can choose to forgive all, because in reality
the life we lead in Jesus is worth so much more than anyone could give us in repaying a debt
they owe to us, I would happily give them a blessing and freedom from obligation if they can
receive the blessing I have had in Jesus, Amen.
To people who cannot forgive, you have not met or known Jesus properly. His ministry is
conditional forgiveness and grace, becoming like Him, knowing our debt and His love.
