I was thinking about the same thing 2 days ago. I asked somebody who is a theolog and he told me that that's the way it is.That's not enlightening at all, is it?

oh, that is a very hard question , but i am going to say forgive myself. i tend to have a shorter memory when it comes to others, i have to live with myself. i never can seem to escape my mistakes and they can play repetitively in my head, making forgetting impossible sometimes.

I believe anything can be forgiven in time.  Even 21 years of abuse from a parent (which I dealt with) was forgiven, albeit because the man died and I had to learn to cope with it all, but I still forgave.  Just remember that forgiveness doesn't mean forgetting.

To forgive is to heel. To carry a grudge and you become the same person who has done you wrong.\n I agree some times you have to bite the dog back to teach a lesson.\n Just don't let it comsume you.

Straight from the bible and through the mouth of my priest...  Forgive him.  But when to forgive him is entirely up to you.  Curse him until you are not mad at him but forgive him before you die.

believe me, forgiveness is the best way to have a clear mind and heart to be a productive member of society.  Forgive and forget.  Try it!\n\nAnd, next time think it through to it's completion before attempting it.

You can't do much if they won't forgive you and let it go.  You can apologize to them from the bottom of your heart and tell them how sorry you are - thats your part to do.  Their part is to forgive you and really mean it and move on.

Well of course, you are only forgiven if you are truly sorry and repent.  If you are not truly sorry for your sin (s) then you are not forgiven for them.

I am not the world best.. but... God has forgiven you when you can forgive yourself.. and as long as  you keep doing the same thing over and over... Than you are not truly sorry about doing this thing.. God can only forgive us when we are ready to except his forgiveness.. And that is the day you truly want it and stop what it is you are doing...

If you want true forgiveness you first have to say to yourself I will never do that again and if you can than you are forgiven. Remember God gave you undeserved Kindness. He forgives faster than we forgive ourselves. That's what Undeserved Kindness is. No one deserves God to forgive him He just does.

God does not forgive us before we make mistakes.  He has already provided the way by which we can be redeemed -through Christ.  The forgiveness comes only after we repent and do what we can to correct what we have done wrong.  Without repentance, there is a very real reason to fear Hell.

She can forgive him because he wronged her.  The rest of the world has nothing to "forgive".  The rest of the world only has an opinion! (low as it may be)

Forgiveness comes from deeper inside than any other emotion, and is the only thing that separates humans (spiritually speaking) from monkeys.  \n\nYou can teach a dog patience.  If you have patience but no forgiveness, then your life is shallow and empty.  If you have forgiveness, then your life can be righteous and wonderful whether you are patient or not.\n\nOn the other hand, if you forgive someone for messing up your life, it doesn't mean you have to take them back.  You can forgive them and walk away.  \n\nJust because you have forgiven someone doesn't mean they were right, it just means that they are not your problem anymore.

Yes you are right. God is faithful to forgive if you only ask for forgiveness. But you must first believe that He is God. You must confess that you have sinned against God and are ready to receive the gift of salvation through faith.

How can you, or any of us, receive forgiveness? A key is that Jehovah God is inclined to forgive. That is characteristic of his personality. (Exodus 34:6, 7; Psalm 86:5) Understandably, God expects us to turn to him in prayer and ask his pardon, ask that he forgive us. (2 Chronicles 6:21; Psalm 103:3, 10, 14) And he has arranged a legal basis for extending such forgiveness Jesus’ ransom sacrifice.\n\nWhen we sin, we too may carry the crushing burden of a painful conscience as a result. This feeling of remorse is normal, even healthy. It can move us to take positive steps to correct our mistakes. Some Christians, though, have become overwhelmed by guilt. Their self-condemning heart might insist that God will not fully forgive them, no matter how repentant they are. “It is a terrible feeling when you think that Jehovah may not love you anymore,” \n\nBut that is not at all how Jehovah views matters! His Word assures us that when we manifest genuine heartfelt repentance, Jehovah is willing, yes ready, to forgive. \n\nWhy Is Jehovah “Ready to Forgive”?\n\nWhy is Jehovah disposed to show mercy?  The verse answers: “For he himself well knows the formation of us, remembering that we are dust.” (Psalm 103:12-14) Yes, Jehovah does not forget that we are creatures of dust, having frailties, or weaknesses, as a result of imperfection. The expression that he knows “the formation of us” reminds us that the Bible likens Jehovah to a potter and us to the vessels he forms. (Jeremiah 18:2-6) A potter handles his clay vessels firmly yet delicately, ever mindful of their nature. So, too, Jehovah, the Great Potter, tempers his dealings with us according to the frailty of our sinful nature.\n\nGod has a required way for seeking and receiving his forgiveness. A person must acknowledge his sin, recognize that it is an offense against God, confess it unqualifiedly, have a deep heartfelt sorrow for the wrong done, and have a determination to turn from such a course or practice.  He must do what he can to right the wrong or damage done.  Then he must pray to God, asking for forgiveness on the basis of Christ’s ransom sacrifice.
