I have asked him to apologize and he refuses. I said I was sorry if I offended you. No response. Will you forgive and accept Messianic believers? In Yeshua's love - DLL

If anyone apologizes I am to forgive and you should know better than to ask that type of question. The whole reason for Christs death was based on forgiveness if we ask so why should it be different for myself. If he did not apologize would you still forgive him? This question I know you will not agree with me on, it's not as simple as you put it or a black and white issue. If a man stabs you you have a right to defend yourself that is not forgiving for if you lay their he will continue to stab you till you no longer are capable of defending yourself. If you face God and do not ask for forgiveness the bottom line is that you will not be saved. If you do not ask God to forgive your sins you will not be saved. One must ask to be forgiven. Its impossible to forgive when the person who must ask never wishes any forgiveness in the first place he may be right and you wrong so the forgiveness you wish to invoke is a non issue. If I feel someone has done wrong with me and they don't ask for forgiveness I don't dwell on it I just brush it off and go on. If at some later time I become involved with this same person I most likely will discount what has previously occurred as a non issue if we generally get along. If he decides to say he is sorry I will eagerly accept it, but at the same time I may say I am sorry to him its called not holding a grudge it will eat you alive............. Alan
