"and if he repents, forgive him." There ain't whole lot of room for misinterpretation there. well, there obviously is, because you have managed it. IT NEVER SAYS NOR DOES IT IMPLY THAT ONE IS NOT TO FORGIVE IF THERE IS NO REPENTANCE. Again, this is the same logical fallacy you have repeated before, and I have pointed out before. Further, you have repeatedly ignored Mark 11:25, which deals with the same basic issue and expressly states that it is YOUR responsibilty to reconcile even if the other party is in error.
I am done with this one.
IT NEVER SAYS NOR DOES IT IMPLY THAT ONE IS NOT TO FORGIVE IF THERE IS NO REPENTANCE. Actually it says and implies just that. You have inferred incorrectly.
"If" is a conditional word. "If" this happens, then that happens. "If" this doesn't happen, then that doesn't happen.
Pretty simple really.
But there's always a few folks who try to make the Christian Bible say what they want it to say, rather than what it actually says.
Like I said, don't argue with me. Argue with Jesus.
