HOW MANY TIMES SHOULD WE FORGIVE?
Peter asked Jesus, “Then Peter came to Him and said, "Lord, how often shall my brother sin against me, and I forgive him? Up to seven times?" Jesus said to him, "I do not say to you, up to seven times, but up to seventy times seven.” Matthew 18:21-22. How many times did God the Father forgive Adam and Eve? Not once! Zero times zero. Why should we forgive up to seventy times seven? Jesus said that if we do not forgive those who do wrong against us, God the Father will also not forgive our sin against Him. Why am I saying all this? Because God can/cannot forgive whoever He wants to forgive, but we cannot. And so, forgiveness from God is not always guaranteed. God did not forgive Adam and Eve. He forgives only those whoever He wants to forgive, and not one soul more. Look, my readers. Do you know why Jesus has not returned yet? The Bible says, "The Lord is not slack concerning [His] promise, as some count slackness, but is longsuffering toward us, not willing that any should perish but that all should come to repentance.” 2 Peter 3:9. Jesus said, "If you love Me, keep My commandments.” John 14:15. When did Jesus say this? 1,000 years ago? 2,000 years ago? I don’t know. Our smart Biblical scholars must know when. But do we keep His commandments? NO! We keep only what we want to keep, and the rest go in the trash can. How on earth can we ever repent if we don’t want to repent? We read what the Biblical scholars say, we believe all the nonsense that they wrote, and we do what they say, instead of what Jesus tells us to do. Jesus said if we love Him keep His commandments, John 14:15. The Muslims will laugh at us and at Jesus if they know that Christians are not doing what Jesus told them to do - KEEP HIS COMMANDMENTS. The Buddhist will do the same when they hear that Christians love their Jesus but refuse to keep His commandments. How much longer should Jesus delay His return and wait until these stubborn Christians will repent? NO, they cannot repent. They will not repent. They are too busy selling Jesus on the black market. Most people have no remorse when they commit a wrong. Adam and Eve did not show any remorse. They blamed each other. They blamed the serpent. But they have never blamed themselves. Christians have no remorse either when they violate God’s commandments. They don’t care about God’s laws because God’s commandments make them poor, not rich. What is very important to many Christians is to love God with all their hearts, their strength, and their soul. So they say. But they lie, and they are not remorseful for lying to God. Jesus said, if we love Him, keep His commandments. Do Christians keep His commandments?
No, they treated God’s commandments as crap, and then they used a loudspeaker to announce to the world that they love God. Do Christians have no fear of God the Father? They lie to God every day. Do you think God will forgive them? Even if God forgives them, I don’t think God will take liars to live with Him in heaven. They are worse than Adam and Eve. Adam and Eve did not lie to God every day. But Christians did and do lie to God the Father each day. Do you know why? Because of money. Readers, do you know that Satan has never changed his strategy to deceive us with wealth since he first tried to trick Jesus with the wealth of this world? Do we think that Jesus will forgive our sins for lying everyday to Him by pronouncing to the world that we love Him when in reality we really don't? Don’t kid ourselves! The world knows that Christians are liars. We swear that we love Jesus, but we refuse to keep God's commandments. Jesus said if we love Him keep His commandments. John 14:15.
