We can and should forgive others you can even ask God to forgive someone else.
Forgiveness is what Jesus taught us to do and the Bible teaches that we will be Judged as we judge others and forgiven as we forgive others, so that is something we should have in our hearts, knowing that when we meet our creator he will forgive us as we forgave.As Jesus died on the cross he said forgive them Father for they don't know what there doing, and they were forgiven of that sin. God's first two and greatest commandments are to love him and to love others as yourself, if you truly love others than you don't hold things against them, Love is not unforgiving!

This is true. Just remember that God does not forgive our sins until we forgive those who have sinned against us. If He can forgive my sins which are stacked up to the sky, I surely will forgive the sin my brother or sister has committed against me. It works like this, we forgive little compared to God, who forgives a lot! We are not even to bring our gift to the alter of God until we settle our differences with our brothers and sisters!

The Bible is clear about such things.
It says the ¨the whole world is lying in the power of the wicked one.¨
The wicked one is Satan the devil.
Satan uses his empire of false religion (which includes Christendom) to promote his ways and turn people away from God.
Because people are unwittingly following Satan they display the same sort of character traits that he has.
Therefore it should be not surprising at all to see all of the evil things going on in the world today , all the hate , killing , murders , wars , and corruption on every level.
We live in Satan's world and the majority of human population prove that they indeed do follow him .-- That is why

you recognize the Corinthians interior the Bible have been crammed with issues, such as you, yet they have been the church of God. Paul wrote the two epistles to the Corinthians out of a deep love for them and after reding it, that they had a radical repentance and turn to the Lord. understand this - you are able to accomplish no longer something by using your organic zeal to do good - we are all filthy, even our ultimate deeds we do out of ourselves. we would desire to look truthfully to the grace of God to empower us to stay a holy existence in accordance to God's be conscious. you're able to desire to get into God's be conscious, consume God's be conscious, be constituted with God's be conscious via lots and thorough prayer. this might exchange right into a furnish of existence in you which will empower you to stay an overcoming existence - by using absolute dependence on His existence in you. and not in any respect forget that sin is often with us, if we are saying we don't have sin we lie and are not training the fact. The Christian existence is a life-time of continual repentance. yet purely in this might we actually locate actual excitement - interior the presence of the Lord. lots grace be with you brother.

Who says we can't ?
Many people choose not to forgive or forget, but that is of THEIR own doing. Or they will do one of those 2, but not the other. Again, no one has their arm in shackles preventing them from doing this.... they are the one's making it happen.
How ? Because they were each given a "FREEWILL".
And with that "FREEWILL", they will answer for their actions when it is time for them to stand in front and the time of judgement. All we can "DO" is stand by, and try to steer them in the "right direction". Whether or not they choose to see this path or acknowledge it, or to follow our advise...... that is COMPLETELY up to them & their "FREEWILL".
You cannot be persecuted for "NOT TRYING" to help someone else.
*Remember, you will be judged on all the things you DID DO,
but also..................
for all the things you could HAVE DONE, BUT DIDN'T.
And YES....... Your ID says it all.

Because we are not God.
We can only do our best to follow his teachings and learn from him. But being human, we all have our flaws, and it takes a lot to exercise forgiveness.
I once heard in church that the best we could ever do as humans, is to forgive. And I totally agree with that.
When we learn to forgive, life becomes a lot happier. I would say it's tough, but we can do it if we want to.

we can. it's all a matter of becoming the image of God that we were created to be. in other words, when we can practice self-control and walk in love, we can and will forgive anyone and everyone.

I am sorry, but are you talking about the "Christian" God??
Because, this God is blaming everyone for a sin, "Original Sin", we never existed when it happened.
And also, this God is demanding a blood sacrifice from his OWN SON!!
If this God is thinking and working this way, what do you expect from us??

It appears some Christians can't stop seeing sin in others--must make them feel superior .
