Up to seven times?” Mat 18:22  Jesus *said to him, "I do not say to you, up to seven times, but up to seventy times seven. Mat 18:21   那時，彼得進前來，對耶穌說：「主啊，我弟兄得罪我，我當饒恕他幾次呢？到七次可以嗎？」 Mat 18:22   耶穌說：「我對你說，不是到七次，乃是到七十個七次。 Brethren, I want to suggest to you this morning that questions about forgiving a brother who has sinned against you is not a new thing. They existed even when the Lord was on this earth. And they are troubling enough that one of the apostles felt the need to come and ask Jesus directly about it. 弟兄們，今天早上我想向你們分享關於原諒得罪你們的弟兄的問題，這不是個新鮮的課題。 即使是耶穌在這個世上時，這問題也存在。他們很困擾，以至於其中一個使徒覺得有必要來直接向耶穌詢問這件事。 How frequently should I forgive my brother?

Together: Forgive One Another

From:  Brent Kercheville - West Palm Beach church of Christ False Understanding of Forgiveness In our culture, forgiveness is a unilateral internal effort to get my own emotions under control. It is a therapeutic view of forgiveness. Forgiveness is about me. We see this in the way the word “forgiveness” is used. For example, we will hear people say that you need to forgive yourself.

This is also nonsensical and ultimately blasphemous since God cannot do wrong and...
