Forgiveness
How much ,and what is the line that "we" can forgive ?Forgive our tress passers just what does that mean?Do we forgive all that has been wrong done to us? when do we "not" turn the other cheek,to stand up for the truth ,even if it could cost you ? When some one lies about you ,and is still is doing it over and over... what do you do to stop it?and still forgive?Or can you?

God tells us to forgive others, just as He fogives us. Period. No matter what.
I think this forgiveness means to not have hatred in your heart for anyone. And it means that you pray for that person to turn his ways around and get right with God.
BUT I don't think that just because you forgive a person, then that means you have to be friends with them and hang out with them. I mean, we know a rotten person when we see one and we have no obligation to hang out with rotten people. God tells us this Himself.
You cannot control what comes out of other peoples mouths whether it be lies or truths. What you can control is what YOU say and what You do and how YOU feel.
Don't harbor hatred in your heart, it's black and it's like a cancer and it will destroy you. I think that's why God tells us to forgive.
And remember, God doesn't tell us to do anything that He hasn't equiped us with the ability to do!
Anonymous has some really great points.
God wants us to have "Clean Hands and a Pure Heart"
"To Be Christlike"
However he gives us the ability to discern good from evil, right from wrong,and to associate our self with like minded people, if you are not like this person, discard them......
