Did you know that you must forgive everyone in order to be saved?

Question

Matthew 6:15 KJV

Leslie, I didnt say that is the way to get saved. You must repent of your sins and accept Jesus as your personal savior to be saved. If you want to go to heaven, you have to forgive others, or God wont forgive you.

Answer 1

Jesus said, If you do not forgive neither will my Father forgive you

Jesus said love them whcih hate you, do good to them which use you.

Love your enemies, turn the othe cheek, give to all that ask, turn not away those who wish to borrow

Lay down your life, for my sake.do not try to save it.

And the soldier ask; "what shall we do; DO VIOLENCE TO NO MAN."

This is the true bread from heaven, the Word of God.

If someone takes something from you ask not for it back
LOVE ONE ANOTHER AS I HAVED LOVED YOU.

Answer 2

This is simplicity in its simpliest form, directly applied to logic it goes like this: No one can enter the Kingdom of God if that person is carrying a grudge against someone else. The only way two or more people can coexist in in harmony, is if they have truly forgiven each other, and by doing that we become as children again. Everyone is happy, and remember noone can be happy and experience anger at the same time. Gods principles and commandments are based on the most basic and meaningful logic.

Answer 3

". . . whosoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life." John 3:16

I don't think that the bible says that you must forgive everyone in order to be saved. However, if you truly "believe" you will have the power through Jesus Christ to forgive! I just don't think that is a good way to state what you wanted to stay. Let's stick with the meat and potatoes of salvation such as faith, repentance, sanctification, holiness, etc. . especially in such a public arena.

Answer 4

I don't think my bible says that. Does yours? Can you tell me where? My bible says "For God so loved the world that He gave his only Son, so that every one who believes in him will not perish but have eternal life." John 3:16

Nope. Matthew 6:15 says that if you refuse to forgive, your Father will not forgive you. It doesn't say you will not be saved.

Answer 5

Yes I know that because I have been saved! Being saved is a wonderful thing. For those of you who don't believe in Christianity should read the Bible.

Answer 6

That's silly. Though, I'm sure the reason it is silly is really escaping you. Religion is all about emotional manipulation, and what better means of this is guilt? That's why they make rules about what you can think. This is the ultimate form of thought police.

Sorry, but it is really not good to feel guilty about feeling bad about what someone else has done. It is an emotion. You can control how you react to your emotions somewhat, and you can even force yourself to look at other factors that might smooth over your emotions somewhat. Hwoever, you are human. You will feel emotions. And what's more is, it is GOOD to feel emotions. You shouldn't be ashamed of doing so.

You really don't have to forgive anybody. If someone does something to earn your respect back, then, sure, forgive them. However, you really don't have to concern yourself with others who really don't deserve your attention. It is OK to not like someone. Just don't obsess over bad things done to you, because that really can be counterproductive and damaging to yourself. Accept that there are things you like and dislike about other people and move on.

This is yet another way that religion poisons society.

Answer 7

You have to believe in Jesus to be SAVED.

You have to forgive others in order to be forgiven.

There is a difference.

Answer 8

Yes.

Answer 9

yes because Jesus forgave you so why shouldn't you forgive others?

Answer 10

so you are saying we need works to be saved. its all about grace. i do agree you need to forgive people but if not it will eat away at you inside but it is not a salvation condition.
