This is a verse of the "Lord's Prayer," spoken by Jesus when asked by his apostles for the correct way to pray to God. It can be found in the Gospel of Matthew 6:9-13. There are several possible translations-- the verse about "debt" and "debtors" is translated as "our trespasses" and "those who trespass against us" in some other versions. But the meaning is this: Jesus reminded his followers that God would forgive them for their mistakes, but they had to also show forgiveness to their fellow human beings.
So, using the debts and debtors metaphor, God will forgive our debts (what we owe to Him), but we have to also emulate that behavior by forgiving those who owe us. (Note, this does not necessarily mean that if someone owes you money, you are supposed to just forget it. It means you are not supposed to hold a grudge or try to make the debtor feel guilty. As God has been compassionate to you, go and be compassionate to others.)

How did Jesus teach us how to forgive?
John 8.11 which tells the story of how Jesus saved from being stoned a woman caught in adultery and foregave her sins. This passage does not occur in any manuscript prior to the end of the fourth century and was probably first written around that time, based on beliefs then held by certain Christian communities. Luke 23.34 has Jesus cry from the cross, "Father, forgive them; they do not know what they are doing." This important passage does not appear in any of the other gospels, suggesting that it was Christian midrash, rather than the words of Jesus. At other times, Jesus ritually told those he healed that their sins were forgiven.
Where does it say about if you cant forgive your brother how can god forgive you?
Clearly, forgiveness is a key concept in scripture. God is the only one who can forgive sin, as least to the point of freeing one from the penalty of sin. God does encourage us to forgive one another. One of the disciples asked how many times one should forgive another, 7 times? To which Jesus replied 7 times 7 (or 70 times 7), in order to make the point that there should be no end to forgiveness. It usually follows that those who have a deep understanding of the wretchedness of sin, and the extent to which God went to forgive us (Christ's death on the cross), these folks are usually those with forgiving hearts. On the other hand, those with a shallow understanding of the depths from which they've been forgiven can easily neglect or refuse to forgive others. Jesus even told a parable about forgiveness. The bottom line was that folks who do not forgive others are probably not in a position to be gaining forgiveness from God. Apart from the forgiveness associated with salvation, there's also forgiveness involving our relationship with God. If we sin as believers we are to confess our sin (to God) and He forgives based on the blood of Christ. Even as believers who are forgiven, our closeness to God can be marred by sin. This is the remedy by which we can regain that closeness. God expects us to be no less forgiving with our brothers and sisters in Christ. Do we "have to forgive?" I don't know, but I do know that one who refuses to forgive probably has little to no understanding of the depravity of sin and the lengths to which God went to provide his/her forgiveness. Such a believer will have severe dealings with God.
Does god esay forget when someone wrongs you?
No. Forgive them and learn from what they have done so that you do not do it yourself. Forgive them because they have taught you. Forgive them because you know how not to be. Would we know what perfect was if everything was perfect? Would we know not to cause pain if we never experienced it?
Why is difficult to forgive?
It is difficult to forgive because the person who did the wrong thing you are really mad at them and you think they don't deserve your forgiveness. But I am right now the person who is saying sorry to someone and they will not forgive me . Most people who are saying sorry are really saying it from the heart. If people didnt forgive it would be crazy. I couldn't think of what it would be like if Jesus didnt forgive us . No one would be going to heaven .... no one. My oppinon is to forgie the person you are fighting with. No one really wants to be in an a big fight..... God Bless
What are some theories about life after death?
God decides where we go for eternity based on what we have done. Salvation exists through Christ, so we can be forgiven our sins. Even one time lying or one time being jealous has been a sin. We need salvation to get to heaven and we need to forgive to be forgiven for eternity. Matthew 6:14-15 For if you forgive others when they sin against you, your heavenly Father will also forgive you. But if you do not forgive others their sins your heavenly Father will not forgive you.A:There are at least 6 basic theories about what happens to us when we die: Materialism: Nothing survives. Death ends all of me. Seldom held before the 18th century, materialism is now a strong minority view in industrial nations. It is the natural accompaniment of atheism.Paganism: A vague, shadowy semiself or ghost survives and goes to the place of the dead. This is a standard pagan belief. Traces of it can be found even in the Old Testament Jewish notion of sheol.Reincarnation: The individual soul survives and is reincarnated into another body.Pantheism: Death changes nothing, for what survives death is the same as what was real before death: only the one, changeless, eternal, perfect, spiritual, divine, all inclusive reality.Immortality: The individual soul survives death, but not the body. This soul eventually reaches its eternal destiny of heaven or hell, perhaps through intermediate stages, perhaps through reincarnation. but what survives is an individual, bodiless spirit. This is Platonism, often confused with Christianity.Resurrection: At death, the soul separates from the body and is reunited at the end of the world to its new, immortal, resurrected body by a divine miracle. This is the Christian view.

Why is The Lords Prayer have debts and detors?
In the "Lord's Prayer," Jesus said "And forgive us our debts, as we forgive our debtors." Jesus is referring to our "debts" or sins against our heavenly father, and our "debts" or sins against one another. He was showing the relationship of how we deal with each other, and that God would deal with us in like manner, and upon the basis of how we forgive each other of trespasses (or sins), is how God will chose to forgive us of our trespasses (sins). The Contemporary English Bible words this scripture at Matthew 6:12 as "Forgive us for doing wrong, as we forgive others." This is not the only occassion that Jesus used the term debt when refering to sin and how God would deal with us. At Matthew 18:23-35, Jesus used a parable about a slave that owed his master a huge debt that he would never be able to pay. In an act of great mercy, the master cancelled the debt. But that same slave later refused to give mercy to a fellow slave for a much lower debt. When the master found out about it, he became angry and had the first slave thrown into prison. Jesus summed up the parable by saying in verse 35," In like manner my heavenly Father will also deal with YOU if YOU do not forgive each one his brother from YOUR hearts."

What is the Lord's Prayer recorded in?
The Lord's prayer is in Matthew, chapter 6:9-13.Jesus was giving his disciples a "guide" to the proper things to pray for.(Matthew 6:9-15) (NWT)"You must pray, then, this way: "'Our Father in the heavens, let your name be sanctified. 10 Let your Kingdom come. Let your will take place, as in heaven, also on earth. 11 Give us today our bread for this day; 12 and forgive us our debts, as we also have forgiven our debtors. 13 And do not bring us into temptation, but deliver us from the wicked one.'Matthew 6:9-13 (NIV)9 "This, then, is how you should pray:"'Our Father in heaven, hallowed be your name,10 your kingdom come, your will be done, on earth as it is in heaven.11 Give us today our daily bread.12 And forgive us our debts, as we also have forgiven our debtors.13 And lead us not into temptation,[a] but deliver us from the evil one.[b]'Matthew 6:9-13 (KJV)9 After this manner therefore pray ye: Our Father which art in heaven, Hallowed be thy name.10 Thy kingdom come, Thy will be done in earth, as it is in heaven.11 Give us this day our daily bread.12 And forgive us our debts, as we forgive our debtors.13 And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil: For thine is the kingdom, and the power, and the glory, for ever. Amen.There is another mention of this account in Luke, which is worded differently.(Luke 11:2-4) (NWT) 2So he said to them: "Whenever you pray, say: 'Father, let your name be sanctified. Let your Kingdom come. 3 Give us each day our bread according to our daily needs. 4 And forgive us our sins, for we ourselves also forgive everyone who is in debt to us; and do not bring us into temptation.'"Luke 11:2-4 (NIV)2 He said to them, "When you pray, say: "'Father,[a] hallowed be your name,your kingdom come.[b]3 Give us each day our daily bread.4 Forgive us our sins, for we also forgive everyone who sins against us.[c]And lead us not into temptation.[d]'"Luke 11:2-4 (KJV)2 And he said unto them, When ye pray, say, Our Father which art in heaven, Hallowed be thy name. Thy kingdom come. Thy will be done, as in heaven, so in earth.3 Give us day by day our daily bread.4 And forgive us our sins; for we also forgive every one that is indebted to us. And lead us not into temptation; but deliver us from evil.By providing us with this "model prayer", Jesus is teaching us that praying for the right things can make our prayers acceptable to God.
