I posted this on MHA. The misleading information came from Andrew Langer and
Mark Probert.This post was followed by all the *gang* who didn't care about the misleading
information, but rather talked about how I should forgive, so there's no need
to start that here, it is a diversion.Subject: Re: What The Bible Teaches About Forgivness.

Message-id: <[email hidden]>The *gang* are misled in thier posting of forgiveness.
*Forgiveness requires that the offending party repent.*
*If the anti-semites within MHA are going to be unrepentant about their words
and deeds, then I have no reason to forgive*(This is false)
Jan says this is false, and then proves it...
Quoted message said:In Matthew 18:21-34, Jesus tells the disciples the parable of the unforgiving
debtor. (Read the passage) The rabbis taught that Jews should forgive those who
offend them three times. Peter, in trying to be especially generous, asked
Jesus if seven (the "perfect" number) was enough times to forgive someone. But
Jesus answered, "Seventy times seven," meaning that we shouldn't even keep
track of how many times we forgive someone. We should always forgive those who
are truly repentant, no matter how many times they ask
Did you read that, Jan? "WE SHOULD ALWAYS FORGIVE THOSE WHO ARE TRULY
REPENTANT..." (emphasis added)
You are not truly repentant. You are, in fact, defiantly unrepentant.
