What happens if you don't forgive?

Question

Just asking

You go to hell?

Answer 1

God doesn't forgive you.

Matthew 6:14 "For if you forgive others for their transgressions, your heavenly Father will also forgive you, "But if you do not forgive others, then your Father will not forgive your transgressions.

Answer 2

His word says, that if we can't forgive then our Lord can't forgive us. Jesus said, "Forgive and ye shall be forgiven."
Luke 6:37.

Nothing is worth missing out on God's plan for Salvation and being apart of His Heavenly Glories.

If anyone has the right not to forgive that would be our Savior. He faced deceit, betrayal, shame, lied to, disowned battered to the point of dis-figuration, they made fun of Him in front of everyone there, and last but not least, He hung from a Cross upside down and naked (most people do not know this) in front of everyone with His hands and feet nailed to the Cross. He was placed on that Cross at 9:00 A.M. and gave up His Spirit at 3:00 P.M. and He said, "Father, forgive them, they know not what they do." BUT, Praise God He Rose!!

No matter how hurt you may have been. Because in essences that person you can't forgive wins the disagreement.

Is this what you want? Think about what Jesus went through so that we may have eternal life.

Answer 3

If you don't forgive you won't move on... So its like hell kind of.. The faster you forgive someone the faster you are going to be happy.. Forgive them , no matter what it is ... What goes around will come back...

Answer 4

No, you don't go to hell. You just carry the burden of the argument or sadness around with you. Sometimes its ok to just wait a while to forgive though. Eventually its easier to forgive, but you may never forget. It happens.

Answer 5

forgiveness is a way to let go of passed hurts and be at peace in your mind. I was angry for nearly 10 years over a terrible thing someone did to me I trusted this person and everything(horrible like one of the worst things). I remember what happened however I have stopped letting it make me angry, stopped letting it hurt me cause I finally figured out that forgiveness isn't about the person who hurt you, it's about you not hurting anymore. I also read in the bible that you will be forgiven to the extent that you forgive, but I mean it's just better to let go, and be at peace.

Answer 6

I, personally, don't believe in forgiveness. I do believe that people should take responsibility for their actions. If someone asks me to forgive them I let them know I do not believe in it. I know that they really want me to let it go and then they will be able to continue in the same vein as before and I will get used again later. Responsibility is way more effctive than forgiveness.

Answer 7

You go to hell.

Forgiveness does NOT mean forgetting or letting the other person get away with something horrible. Forgiving is for you, it is you letting it go and making peace with the situation. You don't even have to talk to the person to forgive them..

Answer 8

You become a bitter, angry old person. But what's worse is the amount of forgiveness you are able to master toward others is the amount you are able to discern and realize in your own life. Sounds to me like non-forgiveness is like a living hell on earth.

Answer 9

God will not forgive you if you do not forgive others as well. This is not the shallow forgiveness most christians preach about today. this is forgiveness from the heart and not the twisted theology of christianity that calls on a person to go to jail after they are forgiven. god never made christians pay the price. it is one more level of christian hypocracy is their version of forgiveness.

Answer 10

PEOPLE, don't come on here and say stuff like "religion is mythology." thats a very heated sensitive controversial topic, so u shouldnt just nonchalantly make a such a simple conclusion.

so anyway, if u don't forgive.....you are only inflicting anger and pain on yourself. maybe you'll come across a time when you do something wrong and someone will not forgive you.

Answer 11

I don't necessarily know if you'll go to hell, but it's just easier to forgive sometimes.

Sometimes when people hurt us, its better to just forgive and move on.. even if that person did not apologize, just forgive him/her within yourself..it feels better.
