Forgive to be forgiven.

I am from Nigeria and the way people look at all Nigerians is just unfair, but I don't blame them anyway, because of what other Nigerians have done. At times I feel mocked the way how Nigerians are looked and it affect me because when they get to know am a Nigerian, they'll take me to be thesame as others. Thanks so much friend. You have been so encouraging. It will be hard for me leaving mylot because of people like you. Do have a nice day.

Yes friend. I always forgive those who offend me and I also make like living a kind of life that will glorify God. Some people find it so difficult to forgive their brothers which is very bad, because we are humans and we can die at any time without forgiving our brothers and sisters and it will lead us to loosing our souls. Sorry I wasn't able to respond to this discussion because I wasn't having enough time to do so. Thanks and have a nice day.

I do forgive others when they have wronged me even if they do not ask for forgiveness. I know that God can not forgive me if I can not forgive others.

Forgiving...it is divine. All of us at some point of time in our lives knowingly or otherwise commit errors or sins. An err done straight to you is often unforgettable and deserve no forgiveness at the outset. On a mature thinking level isn't it fair to forgive the sinner , for life for all us is very brief and short .

I do believe that if one forgives someone, one will be more easily forgiven should he make mistakes. This is because when one forgives, one is more open and acceptable of other people and their faults. This makes one more loveable and there is less tension and hatred.

Oh, I was a bit shock, lol^^, or just a bit unaware quite of the fact though Indians are Christians or Roman Catholic, or just Christian, and I am very happy to know that, very much, I think our Heavenly Father always forgives us for all our committed faults, but as you stated or as the Bible stated, it is a bit contrary t what I am used to, the fact that our Heavenly Father always forgive even though we sometime or always don't give very much attention onto Him, I think the matter of forgiving is very hard at first especially if you are to forgive someone whom you know has committed really bad and big sin, but as you get used to it, or as you read the Bible and know the words of wisdom, words of God, you will learn and accept the wrongdoings of people and take it on the other side or view it differently - for instance instead of being mad at him what you will just do is understand him fully and try not to be overcame by anger and try to explain to him what he did is right or wrong in a very nice manner that no hard feelings with each other will be produced. As a mater of fact am amidst of or just beginning to read the Bible but when forgiving other people I just take it this way - I also commit mistakes and faults, we are all humans and not God, for us not to give them forgiveness, **just read again the Biblical words and compare it to my last state, see it is a bit contrary to it that even you don't forgive other people still He forgive your trespasses, or I just mistakenly understand it again, thanks, !!^^
