What awaits those who do not forgive 70 times 7 around the corner?

Look i have wasted time on you before and that was enough, so have a nice life i am done.

In other words, you don't want to actually deal with my arguments. I have NOT been rude to you. I have not called you names or demeaned you. I have stuck with the arguments. You don't want to deal with the arguments that prove you wrong.

 

[Maria Billingsley]

For those who do not forgive 70 times 7, only the wrath of God awaits them around the corner.

My humble wish is that God frees us from his wrath for not forgiving 70 times 7

I believe Jesus Christ of Nazareth knows that harboring a heart of unforgiveness will quench the work of His Holy Spirit in a person. Whether or not wrath is waiting for them around the corner, the main focus here is to maintain a seamless connection with our Father as we grow into His likeness through sanctification.

Y'know, I can't remember the last time anyone has come up to me and said, "Y'now 2PhiloVoid, I'm really, really sorry for the pain and trouble I've caused you. I want to do better. Please forgive! Please pray for me."

Yeah. In what universe (or nation today) does that actually happen? No, all I see are 'revolutionaries' everywhere who think they're going to turn the world upside down by their uprising, revolts, coups, and other anti-establishment ideologies.

And we're more worried about liberality and being approved for whatever we want to do in life than we are about getting right with God through Christ. It's a travesty.

I know you're afraid tonight, but to clarify without obscuring... to forgive is to have a humorous attitude toward the sin of others, and to condemn is to have a pessimistic attitude toward the sin of others. Forgiveness is characterized by optimism in the face of offenses... unforgiveness is characterized by pessimism in the face of offenses.

I know what you mean. People get far too emotional online. They are filled with rage. We could all learn to bite our tongues more often. If someone points out to me that I legitimately wronged them, I do my best to recognize it and apologize. People can take offense at the smallest things or even at nothing sometimes. Even today, I was demeaned for supporting Israel (which happens regularly because half the people are straight up anti-semitic, and 40% just don't care, and there is only 10% who actually care, and I digress!). I was even told I was wrong in no uncertain terms when the person didn't have a case, and then they said later that their telling me "You're wrong" was an actual argument for why I was wrong. People today are very sloppy thinkers. So often, people assume I am saying one thing when that is not at all what I am saying. Misunderstandings are very common online because we all have these hidden assumptions of "if they believe X, that automatically means they believe Y and Z as well." That is probably the most common problem I run into online. People shoot first and ask questions only when it has been proven they are wrong about me. We could save on a lot of disagreements if people just argued against what the person actually said instead of imagining what their position is. It's good for me to realize I could be wrong. It's also a good debating strategy not to guess and make stuff up on the fly. So many people think something is true, but they have not actually learned anything about it. They are just going based on their many teachers and are given to myths and legends. We should be quick to forgive and quick to be gentle with our response. We need to be patient and not emotionally charged. I believe anyone can learn how to do this. Just stop and ask yourself if you are responding in anger or not. If you are responding in anger, then think VERY carefully about whether what you are about to say is actually necessary.

That's all wise, ABN! And you're right, I think, mostly. I have a small anger streak and I have to be careful.

JFYI, none of my posts addressed you. I think you are pretty level-headed. I was speaking in general "we," and my use of "you" is the plural "you." Just trying to make it clear I was not talking about you specifically. I also tried to include myself in this, but I could have done better at that.

Oh, I think you did fine. Don't worry about. I liked your previous post. It's all good!
