Christ says to love your neighbor as yourself (Matthew 22:39) and that love holds no record of wrongs (1 Cor. 13:5). So there is no set number of times we should forgive.
If you are being a wise guy, 70 x 7 which equals 490. Though Christ was talking about forgiving beyond what you would keep track of. If you are recording how many times you've forgiven someone, then you are not really forgiving them.

Hi,
Seventy times 7or, 70 X 7. This was said to emphasize that we should always be quick to forgive peoplee for their short comings. Sometimes it takes peopl a long time to put away the things of the flesh.

Far too many times and no one really obey the rule to forgive.

From the way some people act, not nearly enough times.

490 times.
If you actually count that many then you never rreally forgave in the first place.

70x7 in one of the scriptures
if we do not forgive, we will not be forgiven... for it is being Christlike that we ourselves are forgiven
