If you don’t forgive, neither will god. I will forgive anyone who was mean to me... Like Rihanna. She would bully me a lot... but I never gave up on her to show her true kindnes... we were in about 5th grade, and she got expelled from school... due to her worsening attitude towards the staff and teachers... mostly students... I’m in 7th grade now, but I will never forget her.
when you forgive someone you should forgive knowing they will not do it again but if they do on purpose you should not forgive if they mistakely did it you can for give one more but only a few times if a person does it by a mistake
Answer
It is always better to forgive the ones that hurt us but that doesn't mean you should stay in an abusive relationship. You can forgive someone who hurts you but you don't have to continue a relationship with that person. If someone hurts you over and over it is time to leave that relationship. The ones we love the most will, at times, hurt us even unintentionally. The reason for that is because we care, otherwise it wouldn't hurt us. In a situation where someone is hurting you over and over or being abusive, then get out. Get away from that person.
Tradition said that you should forgive 7 times. Jesus replied to forgive seventy times seven. I feel it means to lose count when forgiving someone.
You're suppose to forgive somebody every time they say they're sorry.
you should never stop forgiving people because if u dont forgive ,God wont forgive u.
77 times - that meaning one should forgive always. If we want to be forgiven by God, we must forgive ona another.
OpinionI would say that if you forgive someone just once then that is both sufficient and genuine. To forgive them so many times suggests that the forgiveness is perhaps not so genuine.
7 times 77 I believe, but that is a metaphore, god wants us to forgive everyone who has wronged us regardless of whether they apologize or not. because if we cannot forgive someone how can we expect god to forgive us?
The number of times the word forgive appears in the Bible, will vary depending on the version. In the KJV of the Bible, forgive appears 56 times.
From Matthew 18:21-22: Then came Peter to him, and said, Lord, how oft shall my brother sin against me, and I forgive him? till seven times? Jesus saith unto him, I say not unto thee, Until seven times: but, Until seventy times seven. So we should forgive 490 times. On the other hand, maybe this is meant figuratively, as "many, many times".
No one knows exactly but, when St. Peter asked Jesus if he should forgive his brother 7 time and Jesus said," not 7 times but, 7x70 times" This means to forgive him from deep blow.
70 times 7 alwaysAnswer:Unlimited times. God always forgives, no matter what sin, or how many times. As long as we truly repent and ask for His forgiveness in prayer, "He is faithful and just to forgive us."
Seventy times seven....as the Bible said in Matthew 18:22, we don't really have to take the instruction literally...but as long as someone is asking for forgiveness...we are instructed to forgive the person...and forgiving is forgetting. Matthew 6:14 says, For if you forgive men when they sin against you, your heavenly Father will also forgive you.
70.
The Bible states, “ You must forgive 77 times, for the one who hurt you... needs it most.” We all need to forgive each other, in order to live out our faith and fulfill the quest we were given from birth.
seven times seventy seven
Peter asked Jesus, in Matthew 18:21, how many times he should forgive his brother. Peter thought he was being generous when he suggested seven times instead of the three times required by Rabbinical law. Jesus said either "Not seven times, but seventy-seven times" or "Not seven times, but seventy times seven," depending on what version or translation of the Bible you use for reference. Either answer (77 times or 490 times) was to mean Peter and we should forgive our brothers as many times as they need to be forgiven. The parable Jesus told to illustrate His answer makes it clear that human beings have no right to hold grudges or to be unforgiving. (See Matt. 18:23-35)
OpinionI find that most days I have no good reason to forgive anyone. Any inadvertent slight, misunderstanding or inconvenience is best laughed off, forgotten and certainly not granted the terribly formal status of needing forgiveness. And when I do need to forgive someone, either silently or in answer to an apology, then that forgiveness is once and final. I would worry about anyone who believes in the need to forgive others several times in one day, day after day. Is the forgiveness ever sincerely given? Or is this a sign of pride or hypocrisy?
