[QUOTE="HDRider, post: 1586787, member: 17025"] For those that want to trust the secular... While modern conceptions of forgiveness focus mainly on its emotional dimensions, in Jesus’ first-century context, forgiveness had more concrete implications. The Greek word translated as “forgive” in the New Testament, aphiēmi, carried a wide range of meanings, including to remit (a debt), to leave (something or someone) alone, to allow (an action), to leave, to send away, to desert or abandon, and even to divorce. In fact, the Greek word appears 146 times in the New Testament, but it is translated in most English versions as “forgive” only 38 of those times. Considering the entire range of meanings of this word gives us some indication of what “forgiveness” might have meant to listeners in Jesus’ first-century context. Most of all, forgiveness was an action rather than a feeling, and so our contemporary ideas about forgiveness as an emotional state must come from sources other than the biblical text. https://www.huffpost.com/entry/five-myths-about-forgiveness-in-the-bible_b_924286?guccounter=1&guce_referrer=aHR0cHM6Ly93d3cuZ29vZ2xlLmNvbS8&guce_referrer_sig=AQAAABzwyd87vp4Su1azXQFA1_Ur0yD0aKn6diuYVDmE191IWsB6xB8xnZjvRB7mrDXPb5qFkCxEiJ7T14rIsNQX_La7d3TQ5S6Y5gDTHQT7zJ6qUT9qghqoSdjthCB1FxnImPPpRosYmuIMlTeuG6-AZXpCTcjjoqLqiox5hHaZHZ-V Or the Bible Matthew Chapter 18 20 For where two or three are gathered together in my name, there am I in the midst of them. 21 Then came Peter to him, and said, Lord, how oft shall my brother sin against me, and I forgive him? till seven times? 22 Jesus saith unto him, I say not unto thee, Until seven times: but, Until seventy times seven. 23 Therefore is the kingdom of heaven likened unto a certain king, which would take account of his servants. I think the Bible means to forgive your brother in Christ [/QUOTE]
