    All I have to say is, God said, "Forgive and Forget" and also, God forgave the other jews/romans for whipping him, making him carry the heavy wooden cross, and selling his clothes, God forgave us for forgetting him and he forgave our sins, and didn't even mind when he got crucified!

    Excellent answer Coptic Servent,

    Always forgive, and in the Lord’s Prayer, God asks us to say “ forgive us our trespasses as we forgive those who trespasses against us,”

    You also must know that your forgivness will not help that person until he/she repents. Your forgivness will be saved with God until the time comes and that person respond to the Holy Spirit and offers his/her sincere repentance to God.

    Thank you Safaa, and you are correct, you must also know that your forgiveness will not help that person until he/she repents!
