Forgiveness: is it plausible by PS of Lord's Prayer in Mt 6, blasphemy Ghost, unpurged conscience? Charity?
106735
Good morning God_shew!\n\n1. If we not not aware of someone's sins, then there is no way to actively forgive them...However, we should always have the spirit of forgiveness, and be ready to forgive...\n\n2.Blasphemy against the Holy Ghost is not referring to parental or governmental authority.  It is referring to calling the Holy Ghost the devil...and accusing the Holy Ghost of being evil...\n\n3. There is only one Jesus Christ, but it was predicted that false Christs would appear. God will only forgive due to Jesus Christ, no false christ will move God to act\n\n4. an unpurged conscience is necessary for spiritual freedom and release from bondage...this is the job of the Holy Spirit...we cannot have perfect faith in God and continue in sin we have not repented of....but we should have a heart that is ready to repent, and be open to the wisdom of the Holy Spirt, and he will lead us into the truth..\n\n5. If we have charity (love) in our heart for both God and our fellow man, God will help us remove any problems with unforgiveness...God understands our hearts, and helps us with our mistakes...God's love inside us will motivate us to repent of sin, and then we will be free from law of sin and death...

Jesus made the answer to your question clear when he said "all manner of sin and blasphemy will be forgiven among men.....(Matt.Ch.12 V31-32 being blasphemy against the Holy Ghost which involved a 2 fold Heavenly witness)as this is the only sin for which there is no forgiveness, then suicide is forgivable. Hope this helps.

If you are saved we are SINNERS SAVED BY GRACE, so there is always forgiveness. Christ's blood covers all. Everyone has messed up. Ask forgiveness and it is yours.

"This is how you are to pray: Our Father in heaven, hallowed be your name, your kingdom come, your will be done, on earth as in heaven. Give us today our daily bread; and forgive us our debts, as we forgive our debtors; and do not subject us to the final test, but deliver us from the evil one." \n\n"If you forgive others their transgressions, your heavenly Father will forgive you. But if you do not forgive others, neither will your Father forgive your transgressions."\n\nThe Lord's Prayer brings us into communion with the Father and with his Son, Jesus Christ. At the same time it reveals us to ourselves.

Jesus saved us from our sins ONLY if we are truly sorry and ask for forgiveness.  I don't believe not believing in God is a sin, but that person is a member of the LOST and therefore not a candidate for heaven.....)(

Matthew 5:22-24\n22 But I say unto you, That whosoever is angry with his brother without a cause shall be in danger of the judgment: and whosoever shall say to his brother, Raca, shall be in danger of the council: but whosoever shall say, Thou fool, shall be in danger of hell fire. \n23 Therefore if thou bring thy gift to the altar, and there rememberest that thy brother hath ought against thee; \n24 Leave there thy gift before the altar, and go thy way; first be reconciled to thy brother, and then come and offer thy gift.

Is this what you're getting at?\n\nRomans 5:1-21\n\nTherefore, having been justified by faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ, through whom also we have access by faith into this grace in which we stand, and rejoice in hope of the glory of God. And not only that, but we also glory in tribulations, knowing that tribulation produces perseverance; 4and perseverance, character; and character, hope. Now hope does not disappoint, because the love of God has been poured out in our hearts by the Holy Spirit who was given to us.\nFor when we were still without strength, in due time Christ died for the ungodly. For scarcely for a righteous man will one die; yet perhaps for a good man someone would even dare to die. But God demonstrates His own love toward us, in that while we were still sinners, Christ died for us. Much more then, having now been justified by His blood, we shall be saved from wrath through Him. For if when we were enemies we were reconciled to God through the death of His Son, much more, having been reconciled, we shall be saved by His life. And not only that, but we also rejoice in God through our Lord Jesus Christ, through whom we have now received the reconciliation.\nTherefore, just as through one man sin entered the world, and death through sin, and thus death spread to all men, because all sinned—(For until the law sin was in the world, but sin is not imputed when there is no law. Nevertheless death reigned from Adam to Moses, even over those who had not sinned according to the likeness of the transgression of Adam, who is a type of Him who was to come. But the free gift is not like the offense. For if by the one man’s offense many died, much more the grace of God and the gift by the grace of the one Man, Jesus Christ, abounded to many. And the gift is not like that which came through the one who sinned. For the judgment which came from one offense resulted in condemnation, but the free gift which came from many offenses resulted in justification. For if by the one man’s offense death reigned through the one, much more those who receive abundance of grace and of the gift of righteousness will reign in life through the One, Jesus Christ.)\nTherefore, as through one man’s offense judgment came to all men, resulting in condemnation, even so through one Man’s righteous act the free gift came to all men, resulting in justification of life. For as by one man’s disobedience many were made sinners, so also by one Man’s obedience many will be made righteous.\nMoreover the law entered that the offense might abound. But where sin abounded, grace abounded much more, so that as sin reigned in death, even so grace might reign through righteousness to eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord.

Good stuff how about\n\nThou shalt forgive all sinners, however only in the most patronising way possible\n\nThou shalt threaten 'burning in hell', 'everlasting torment' and 'demons with pitchforks up your bottom' to all sinners in the name of the God of eternal love.\n\nThou shalt not listen, think or form a logical argument

Yes Richard especially as this is the month that the church remembers in a special way the Holy Souls in Purgatory, there are many prayers with a plenary indulgence attached to them you can buy a little prayer book and say them however the Chaplet of Divine Mercy is a powerful obtainer of the release of souls.\n\n2 Machabees 12:46, it is therefore a holy and wholesome thought to pray for the dead,that they may be loosed from sins.

i know this isn't really answering your question but i was kinda surprised to see what you said about "God looking like an unforgiving bully". I don't get that - He says do anything you want with this amazing garden I've given you, except one thing. If you do it, I'm going to punish you. So they do that one thing, and surprise surprise, they get punished. THEN He says, ok, so now you all do loads of stuff that goes against what i have said you should do, but I'll offer forgiveness through Jesus. That seems both pretty consistent and forgiving to me. \nSorry that doesn't answer your question, and I'm not ranting at you, just interested that you think that. I've never looked at it in that way. Hope other's answers are more on the point.\n\n\nAnd shadowalfalfa -sorry to disagree with you again, but Moses is thought to have written the first 5 books of the Bible.\n\nAn addition to my answer after your addition to your question - there is a prophecy in Daniel 7 that is entirely consistent with the acts of Alexander the Great many many many years later. There is historical evidence that Jesus existed and did many of the things the Bible says He did. So at least those things happened. Coincidence??? I don't think so.

“THE CHARACTERISTICS OF GOD’S FORGIVENESS”\n\n 1.  It is COMPLETE…"And you, being dead in your sins and the uncircumcision of your flesh, hath he quickened together with him, having forgiven you all trespasses." (Colossians 2:13)\n\n \n\n2.  It is BY GRACE…"In whom we have redemption through his blood, the forgiveness of sins, according to the riches of his grace."  (Ephesians 1:7)\n\n \n\n3.  It is UNEQUALED…"Who is a God like unto thee, that pardoneth iniquity, and passeth by the transgression of the remnant of his heritage? he retaineth not his anger for ever, because he delighteth in mercy."  (Micah 7:18)\n\n \n\n4.  It is CERTAIN…"I write unto you, little children, because your sins are forgiven you for his name's sake."  (1 John 2:12)\n\n \n\n5.  It is INFINITE…"He hath not dealt with us after our sins; nor rewarded us according to our iniquities… As far as the east is from the west, so far hath he removed our transgressions from us."  (Psalm 103:10, 12)\n\n \n\n6.  It is MERCIFUL…"For thou, Lord, art good, and ready to forgive; and plenteous in mercy unto all them that call upon thee."  (Psalm 86:5)\n\n \n\n7.  It is LOVING…"Behold, for peace I had great bitterness: but thou hast in love to my soul delivered it from the pit of corruption: for thou hast cast all my sins behind thy back."  (Isaiah 38:17)\n\n \n\n8.  It is only thru JESUS CHRIST…"To him give all the prophets witness, that through his name whosoever believeth in him shall receive remission of sins."  (Acts 10:43)\n\n \n\n9.     It is only thru FAITH…"Be it known unto you therefore, men and brethren, that through this man is preached unto you the forgiveness of sins: And by him all that believe are justified from all things, from which ye could not be justified by the law of Moses." (Acts 13:38-39)\n\n \n\n10.      It is MOTIVATING…\n\n \n\na.     It motivates GREAT LOVE TOWARDS GOD.  (Luke 7:36-50)\n\n \n\nb.     It motivates DEEP RESPECT FOR GOD.  (Psalm 130:3-4)\n\n \n\nc.     It motivates GRACIOUS FORGIVENESS TOWARD OTHERS.  (Eph. 4:31-32)\n\n --------------------------------------------------------\n\nSEVEN CHARACTERISTICS OF GOD\nPhil 2:5, Have this attitude in yourselves which was also in Christ Jesus,\nTo discover some of the attitude of Jesus, let's study the beatitudes and parables about the kingdom of God. \n\nPOOR IN SPIRIT \n\nMat 5:3, "Blessed are the poor in spirit, for theirs is the kingdom of heaven.\nIf we want God to rule as king in our heart, there must be no other rulers there. That's what pride is. It is when we put faith in something besides God. \n\nPro 16:18, Pride goes before destruction, And a haughty spirit before stumbling. 19 It is better to be of a humble spirit with the lowly, Than to divide the spoil with the proud.\n"Lord, when we are wrong, make us willing to change. And when we are right, make us easy to live with." (Peter Marshall) \n\nSammy Morris, a devoted Christian from Africa who came to America to go to school. Although his pathway to service for Christ was not easy, his difficulties never deterred him. Perhaps this was because he had learned genuine humility. One incident that showed this occurred when he arrived at Taylor University in Indiana. He was asked by the school's president what room he wanted. Sammy replied, "If there is a room nobody wants, give it to me." Later the president commented, "I turned away, for my eyes were full of tears. I was asking myself whether I was willing to take what nobody else wanted." \n\nWas Jesus poor in Spirit? Yes, He didn't come as a dictator to make us obey - He leaves the choice to us. The people who are rich in the kingdom of this world stockpile their wealth with little thought of anyone else. The Father, on the other hand, in His poverty of spirit, continually empties himself for our sake. Coming dow

Jesus blood is sufficient to cover EVERY sin. The only sin that cannot be forgiven comes when a person truly understands the gift of God (something that I think many Christians do not understand), but refuses to believe, choosing rather to knowingly reject it--seeking to establish their own righteousness.\nIt is the Holy Spirit's job to convict us of unrighteousness and to testify of Jesus as the only way to reconciliation. If a person rejects this urging, he must stand before God without a mediator. It is an awesome thing to fall into the hands of the living God.

Don't believe it.  Repentance is key in this.  Sin will not exist in the presence of Heavenly Father.

No. Not because of the act itself. There is no sin that cannot be forgiven, except the rejection of Christ as your Savior. While suicide is a terrible/tragic thing, it is not unforgivable.\n\nNote: I see that there are many responses that indicate a person would "automatically" go to hell for this sin. I disagree with that. We are not saved by our actions. We are saved by grace through faith. Is God's grace nullified when we sin? No. While repentance is very important, it is NOT a means of grace. We do not "earn" forgiveness via our repentance. I'm sure that many, many Christian will die with some sin they never had a chance to repent of...that does not nullify the grace of God. \n\nAll that being said, life is a gift from God! We should use the days that He has given us wisely.

If you ask for forgiveness, you shall receive it.\n\n("NOT THAT YOU NEED IT OF COURSE")

"God forgives those who forgive themselves".\n\nI wonder, could that person ever, in retrospect, manage to forgive himself or would he carry the guilt?\n\nAnother way to look at it is, if he has no remorse, he is unlikely to ask for forgiveness, which is also a requirement. You not only have to forgive yourself, you have to ask for forgiveness.\n\nThis makes me think there is little chance for this person to ever receive God's forgiveness.

James 5:16  Confess your faults one to another, and pray one for another, that ye may be healed.  The effectual fervent prayer of a righteous man availeth much.  Hope that is what you were looking for!
