If you believe that Jesus does not assert that it is possible for you to forgive other people when they sin against you, and you wish to wager on it,

I am taking wagers here. This OP is NOT about whether Jesus asserts that it is possible for you to forgive other people when they sin against you. I'm assuming you don't think so. This post focuses on wagering on what you believe.

Matthew 6:

14 For if you forgive other people when they sin against you, your heavenly Father will also forgive you.

Let proposition P1 = Jesus asserts that it is possible for you to forgive other people when they sin against you.

P2 = not P1.

Between 0 and 10, how much weight do you put on each of the above propositions? The stronger your belief in a proposition, the higher the weight. Your weighting scheme will determine the betting odds.

IF P1 is based on the words alone (without context or other qualifiers) of Matthew 6:14 ("For if you forgive other people when they sin against you, your heavenly Father will also forgive you."), then P2 = 10

Copy-pasted from my response in that linked thread.

Once again, and as before, the question is not whether Jesus could have done miracles in Sodom. The question is whether Mt 10:15 in and of itself logically implies that he could have done miracles in Sodom. It does not. It neither denies nor implies that he could have.

P1=9 for me
