Someone explained that the following scripture is saying, we are not obligated to forgive someone who refuses to repent:
Luke 17:3-4 says: If thy brother trespass against thee, rebuke him; and if he repent, forgive him. And if he trespass against thee seven times in a day, and seven times in a day turn again to thee, saying, I repent; thou shalt forgive him.
However, the Book of Ephesians tells us we are to forgive just as Christ forgave us. Christ died for many people who have yet to repent.....
Ephesians 4:31-32 says: Get rid of all bitterness, rage and anger, brawling and slander, along with every form of malice. Be kind and compassionate to one another, forgiving each other, just as in Christ God forgave you.
What are your thoughts on this?
