Forgive An Unrepentant Brother? 

原諒一個沒悔改的弟兄？


T.A.


God's forgiveness is not unconditional.  Jesus said, "I tell you, Nay: but, except ye repent, ye shall all likewise perish"(Luke 13: 3,5).


神的寬恕不是無條件的。 耶穌說：“我告訴你們，不是的！你們若不悔改，都要如此滅亡！”


It is true that we must be willing to forgive others. Jesus prayed on the cross, "Father , forgive them  for they know not what they do “ （Lk 23:34). But they were not forgiven until they did as Peter taught them on Pentecost “. Repent and be baptized every one of you in the name of Jesus Christ for the remission of sins” (Acts 2:38).


的確，我們必須願意原諒他人。 耶穌在十字架上祈禱：“父啊，父啊！赦免他們；因為他們所做的，他們不曉得” （Lk 23:34)。但直到他們必須照彼得在五旬節教導他們的那樣去做，才被饒恕。“ 你們各人要悔改，奉耶穌基督的名受洗，叫你們的罪得赦”（使徒行傳2:38）。


Just because we are willing to forgive and we must be (Matt. 6:14,15) does not mean they are forgiven. They must repent and confess faults. Yes, we can and should pray for others that sin against us that they will repent so that God can forgive them (Matthew 6: 14; 5:43-48).


僅僅因為我們願意原諒，而且我們必須原諒（馬太福音6:14,15），並不意味著他們就被原諒了。 他們必須悔改並承認錯誤。是的，我們可以也應該為那些得罪我們的人祈禱，讓他們悔改，以讓神能夠原諒他們（馬太福音6：14；5：43-48）。


Your mentioning of Luke 17:3 teaches us that if a brother sins against us he must repent and then we are to forgive him. We should be willing to forgive, but if he will not repent,  neither we nor God can forgive. However, we must tell him of his sin and rebuke him.  Sometimes people are offended by a person, but they keep quiet and do not tell the person of their sin. They just despise him in their hearts. That is not what the Lord said. 


你提到路加福音17:3告訴我們，如果一個兄弟得罪我們，他必須懺悔，然後我們要原諒他。 我們應該願意原諒，但如果他不悔改，我們和神都無法原諒對方。 然而，我們必須告訴他他的罪過並糾正他。 有時人們被一個人冒犯了，但他們保持沉默，不告訴對方他們的罪過。 他們只是在心裡鄙視他。  這不是神所教導的。


If the other party's problem is doctrinal, then it is necessary to tell the truth. If the two have different views, then it is more appropriate to use the principle of truth to determine which view is more appropriate. When we pray, we not only pray for each other, but also ask the Father to give us wisdom, courage, and love to find answers to each other. I know this problem is not easy to face, but I believe our God will help you solve it.


如果對方的問題是教義方面的，那麼，必要講真理。若是兩位有不同的意見，那麼，要用真理的原則來決定那一個看法是比較合適的。我們禱告時不但為對方禱告，我們也求天父給我們智慧、勇氣，和愛心來找答案給對方。我知道這種問題是不容易面對，但是，我相信我們的神會幫助你們解決。


Luk 17:3  (NASB)  “Be on your guard! If your brother sins, rebuke him; and if he repents, forgive him.


你們要謹慎！若是你的弟兄得罪你，就勸戒他；他若懊悔，就饒恕他。


2Co 7:9  I now rejoice, not that you were made sorrowful, but that you were made sorrowful to the point of repentance; for you were made sorrowful according to the will of God, so that you might not suffer loss in anything through us. 2Co 7:10  For the sorrow that is according to the will of God produces a repentance without regret, leading to salvation, but the sorrow of the world produces death. 2Co 7:11  For behold what earnestness this very thing, this godly sorrow, has produced in you: what vindication of yourselves, what indignation, what fear, what longing, what zeal, what avenging of wrong! In everything you demonstrated yourselves to be innocent in the matter.


2Co 7:9  如今我歡喜，不是因你們憂愁，是因你們從憂愁中生出懊悔來。你們依著神的意思憂愁，凡事就不至於因我們受虧損了。2Co 7:10   因為依著神的意思憂愁，就生出沒有後悔的懊悔來。以致得救；但世俗的憂愁是叫人死。2Co 7:11  你看，你們依著神的意思憂愁，從此就生出何等的殷勤、自訴、自恨、恐懼、想念、熱心、責罰（或作：自責）。在這一切事上，你們都表明自己是潔淨的。

Should I Forgive A Brother Who Won't Repent? (Don Blackwell)

Subject: "Should I Forgive A Brother Who Won't Repent?" Speaker: Don Blackwell Scripture: Luke 17:1-3 Website: https://www.willowcofc.net/ Willow Avenue Church of Christ Video: https://www.youtube.com/live/G0CwQfl3YMo?si=Y5PyqjXAxuOiTVX8 Then Peter came to Jesus, and he said, Lord, how often shall my brother sin against me and I forgive him.  Up to seven times? Jesus said to him, I do not say to you up to seven times, but up to 70 times seven.  (Mt 18:21-22). 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. How frequently should I forgive my brother? I mean, my patience runs out sometimes. I mean, sometimes enough is enough. Where do I draw the line? Peter said, is seven times enough? You know, I've got the idea that Peter...

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 does not make sense using the word biblically. The scriptures never say to forgive yourself. But what people mean about forgiving yourself is this unilateral internal effort to get your own emotions under control and move yourself to some sort of happy place. This is not a biblical view but you can see why there is confusion when we discuss forgiveness from a biblical basis.  Another example of this misunderstanding of forgiveness is that you will hear people say that they have forgiven God or cannot forgive God. This is also nonsensical and ultimately blasphemous since God cannot do wrong and...
