1 | Did you forgive the Tuesday terrorists? | Matt 6:14 | Searcher56 | 16129 | ||
Have you forgiven those who caused the loss of life on Tuesday? Explain. Should the church or nation let the family members of the suspected terrorists know -we have forgiven the their family members -we hold no grudge against them -God loves them and so do we -we are available to meet their needs -we are praying for them ... Explain. Sin are forgiven and there will be consequences, like David's sin with Bathsheba (1Sa 12:13-14). Steve |

Have I forgiven the terrorist organization or person(s) who planned and executed the attack on America?

If and when the above person(s) a) repent and ask for forgiveness; b) change their present intentions to murder Americans; and c) cease and desist their murderous attacks, then and only then will I be obligated to forgive them. |

3 | Did you forgive the Tuesday terrorists? | Matt 6:14 | Searcher56 | 16142 | ||
Radioman, Jesus and Stephen forgave even tho the hearts will still hard. Even those who are happy, need to know that Jesus died for them. We need to forgive them as this verse says. Verse 15 gives the result. If we don't forgive, it will be very hard on us. This has reopened the wounds of Columbine, for me. Steve |

4 | Steve, are these verses in your Bible? | Matt 6:14 | Bill Mc | 16246 | ||
Dear Steve, Jesus Christ provided forgiveness for everyone, before the cross and after the cross, AT THE CROSS. You write, "We need to forgive them as this verse says. Verse 15 gives the result. If we don't forgive, it will be very hard on us." But Jesus said, after He said the above statement, in Luke 23:34 - "Father, forgive them, because they don't know what they are doing." HOWEVER, that forgiveness is only received upon placing one's faith in Christ. Once that is done, no more forgiveness is necessary or provided for the believer. Forgiveness is part of redemption. Proof? Eph 1:7 In Him we HAVE redemption through His blood, the FORGIVENESS of our trespasses, according to the riches of His grace. Col 1:14 in whom we HAVE redemption, the FORGIVENESS of sins. Col 2:13 When you were dead in your transgressions and the uncircumcision of your flesh, He made you alive together with Him, having FORGIVEN us ALL our transgressions. Eph 4:32 Be kind to one another, tender-hearted, forgiving each other, just as God in Christ also HAS FORGIVEN you. Col 3:13 bearing with one another, and forgiving each other, whoever has a complaint against anyone; just as the Lord FORGAVE you, so also should you. 1 John 2:12 I am writing to you, little children, because your sins HAVE BEEN FORGIVEN you for His name's sake. Acts 26:18 to open their eyes so that they may turn from darkness to light and from the dominion of Satan to God, that they may RECEIVE FORGIVENESS of sins and an inheritance among those who have been sanctified by faith in Me.' (When is it received? When they turn to God.) Heb 9:26 Otherwise, He would have needed to suffer often since the foundation of the world; but now once at the consummation of the ages He has been manifested to PUT AWAY SIN by the sacrifice of Himself. (Did He do this?) Heb 10:17 "AND THEIR SINS AND THEIR LAWLESS DEEDS I WILL REMEMBER NO MORE." I have to wonder, brother, are these verses in YOUR Bible? Or are the only verses you know that deal with forgiveness of sins Matthew 6:14 and 1 John 1:9? You seem stuck, stuck, stuck, like a broken phonograph on the forgiveness issue. That's too bad. The Jesus I know said that, "It is finished! Paid in full!" Is this the same one you know? I wonder, Steve, in your theology, did the blood that Christ shed on the cross for the forgiveness of sins (Matt 26:28) do anything? John the Baptist said, "Behold, the Lamb of God who TAKES AWAY the sins of the world." Did He do that or does your Bible stop after the gospels? Even Rev 1:5 says, "To Him who loves us and released us from our sins by His blood--" When and how were we released from our sins? By our death? Hardly. By the blood shed at His death - without the shedding of blood, there is no forgiveness of sins. In your copy of scripture, are these verses there? Or do you just chose to not believe them? In your view, what is the difference as far as the forgiveness of sins goes, between the blood of bulls and goats offered in the OT and the blood of your Savior offered in the NT? Just curious, Bill Mc |
