Forgive

[eleos1954]

Does he even WANT forgiveness from you, when he doesn't believe God?

Say a person with a very bad idea of religion says he will pray for you... and you immediately wonder what god he's actually praying to... and the superstitious part of you jumps up and paints a picture of your name being mentioned to all the fiends of hell as a potential initiate... when you'd much rather go unnoticed by the person, his god, and the fiends.

No, you can't forgive someone who doesn't repent.

Of course you can ..... if you don't then you continue to carry the burden (pain) of the offense and/or hatred in your heart.

Forgive them Father for they know not what they do.

I'm not superstitious.

a belief or practice resulting from ignorance, fear of the unknown, trust in magic or chance, or a false conception of causation. b : an irrational abject attitude of mind toward the supernatural

The situation you described above .... this person or "fiends" has no power over you. Cast them away in the name of Jesus.

You've missed the whole point of my little story. If he doesn't believe the Risen Lord and do what He told His 11 disciples to tell us to do, then he's not following the Son of the Father, or the Father Himself. And if not, then he's either an atheist, of some other religion, or he's following the false prophet.

And that makes him not your brother, a brother you must forgive.

Thank you for making me do the research. ... The False Prophet Is The Antichrist.

The False Prophet Is The Antichrist.

The False Prophet and the Antichrist are two separate "entities". There are actually 3 entities .... the beast (satan), the false prophet and the antichrist.

Once the Antichirst and the False Prophet emerge on the world stage satan will establish an unholy trinity (a counterfeit). Just as the Holy Spirit leads people toward Jesus Christ, the False Prophet will point people to worship the Antichirst ... and mimicking the relationship between God the Father and Jesus Christ, the Antichrist will receive his power and authority from Satan.

Revelation 16:13-14

And I saw, coming out of the mouth of the dragon (1) and out of the mouth of the beast (2) and out of the mouth of the false prophet (3) three unclean spirits like frogs. For they are demonic spirits, performing signs, who go abroad to the kings of the whole world, to assemble them for battle on the great day of God the Almighty.

It's a great deception.

Foregivness

Forgive .... and not just brothers ...

Matthew 6:14-15 NIV

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 might find it difficult to forgive others when they wrong us.

Those who are not in the faith, we are to proclaim the gospel to them.
