Wow! God sure is lucky to have someone like you working with Him.
I believe atpollard said that because you made the smug remark as follows:

Wow, this all serves as a great reminder of exactly why I teach on forgiveness every single time before we do inner healing and deliverance. The misconceptions out there are remarkable.
Your teaching of forgiveness, which you expressed on this board, was also flat wrong, yet you were telling them they were wrong, when in fact they were correct, and you never repented of your wrong:

You don't forgive someone who isn't repenting of the thing to be forgiven.

You respond further:
According to God's Word, we forgive someone who first repents.
Luke 17:3-4 [
Disciples’ Literal New Testament]
3 Take heed to yourselves— If your brother sins, rebuke him. And
if he repents,
forgive him.
4 And
if he sins against you seven times in the day, and returns to you seven times saying
‘I repent’, forgive him”.
- God forgives those who repent.
- We are to do likewise.
God does not forgive all people their sins,
We are to follow God's example.
Lord Jesus beautiful Parable in
Matthew 18:21-35 illustrates this truth so plainly, that a child could understand.
Matthew 18:21-35 (WEB)
...21 Then Peter came to Jesus and asked, “Lord, how many times shall I forgive my brother or sister who sins against me? Up to seven times?”
...22 Jesus answered, “I tell you, not seven times, but seventy-seven times.
...23 “Therefore, the kingdom of heaven is like a king who wanted to settle accounts with his servants. 24 As he began the settlement, a man who owed him ten thousand bags of gold was brought to him. 25 Since he was not able to pay, the master ordered that he and his wife and his children and all that he had be sold to repay the debt.
...26 “At this the servant fell on his knees before him. ‘Be patient with me,’ he begged, ‘and I will pay back everything.’ 27 The servant’s master took pity on him, canceled the debt and let him go.
...28 “But when that servant went out, he found one of his fellow servants who owed him a hundred silver coins. He grabbed him and began to choke him. ‘Pay back what you owe me!’ he demanded.
...29 “His fellow servant fell to his knees and begged him, ‘Be patient with me, and I will pay it back.’
...30 “But he refused. Instead, he went off and had the man thrown into prison until he could pay the debt. 31 When the other servants saw what had happened, they were outraged and went and told their master everything that had happened.
...32 “Then the master called the servant in. ‘You wicked servant,’ he said, ‘I canceled all that debt of yours because you begged me to. 33 Shouldn’t you have had mercy on your fellow servant just as I had on you?’ 34 In anger his master handed him over to the jailers to be tortured, until he should pay back all he owed.
...35 “This is how my heavenly Father will treat each of you unless you forgive your brother or sister from your heart.”
