How Often should I Forgive my brother?
How Often should I Forgive my brother?
How often should I forgive my brother when he sins against me?
Then came Peter to him, and said, Lord, how oft shall my brother sin against me, and I forgive him? till seven times?
:
Peter asks Jesus a question
When you have a question, ask the Lord about it!
Great is our Lord, and of great power:
His understanding is infinite.
For if our heart condemn us, God is greater than our heart, and knoweth all things.

Thus saith the Lord;
For three transgressions of Damascus,
And for four, I will not turn away the punishment thereof;
Because they have threshed Gilead with threshing instruments of iron:
Thus saith the Lord;
For three transgressions of Gaza,
And for four, I will not turn away the punishment thereof;
Because they carried away captive the whole captivity,
To deliver them up to Edom:
Amos 1:3
Thus saith the Lord;
For three transgressions of Tyrus,
And for four, I will not turn away the punishment thereof;
Because they delivered up the whole captivity to Edom,
And remembered not the brotherly covenant:
-
Amos
Thus saith the Lord;
For three transgressions of Edom,
And for four, I will not turn away the punishment thereof;
Because he did pursue his brother with the sword,
And did cast off all pity,
And his anger did tear perpetually,
And he kept his wrath for ever:
Thus saith the Lord;
For three transgressions of the children of Ammon,
And for four, I will not turn away the punishment thereof;
Because they have ripped up the women with child of Gilead,
That they might enlarge their border:
Should I forgive my brother or sister - Seven Times
Jesus saith unto him, I say not unto thee, Until seven times: but, Until seventy times seven.
Not seven times
But,
Seventy times Seven Times
(Unlimited Forgiveness)
We can’t keep up with the number of times that people sin against us anyway.
We don’t know how many people that we think loves us, but they really hate us and our guts!

And he is the propitiation for our sins: and not for ours only, but also for the sins of the whole world.
I John 2:2
Herein is love, not that we loved God, but that he loved us, and sent his Son to be the propitiation for our sins.

Now there cried a certain woman of the wives of the sons of the prophets unto Elisha, saying, Thy servant my husband is dead; and thou knowest that thy servant did fear the Lord: and the creditor is come to take unto him my two sons to be bondmen. And Elisha said unto her, What shall I do for thee? tell me, what hast thou in the house? And she said, Thine handmaid hath not any thing in the house, save a pot of oil. Then he said, Go, borrow thee vessels abroad of all thy neighbours, even empty vessels; borrow not a few. And when thou art come in, thou shalt shut the door upon thee and upon thy sons, and shalt pour out into all those vessels, and thou shalt set aside that which is full. So she went from him, and shut the door upon her and upon her sons, who brought the vessels to her; and she poured out. And it came to pass, when the vessels were full, that she said unto her son, Bring me yet a vessel. And he said unto her, There is not a vessel more. And the oil stayed. Then she came and told the man of God. And he said, Go, sell the oil, and pay thy debt, and live thou and thy children of the rest.
And it fell on a day, that Elisha passed to Shunem, where was a great woman; and she constrained him to eat bread. And so it was, that as oft as he passed by, he turned in thither to eat bread.
