The Power of Christ will compel you to answer this question... and other questions. maybe not this one...

Welcome

So when your mind wanders, you think, and you analyze, and you rationalize...

Case in point..

http://www.the-prayer.info/our-father-prayer/

Our Father, Who art in heaven
Hallowed be Thy Name;
Thy kingdom come,
Thy will be done,
on earth as it is in heaven.
Give us this day our daily bread,
and forgive us our trespasses,
as we forgive those who trespass against us;
and lead us not into temptation,
but deliver us from evil. Amen.

Now I know you will be one of three people tomorrow morning...

I should of slept....

these..Our Lord is our Sheppard

or this....

President Trump will lead you to the light!

But I digress..

Key points here..

forgive us our trespasses, as we forgive those who trespass against us

Now what is "trespass"

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Trespass

https://www.thefreedictionary.com/trespass

and of course these:

https://www.biblestudytools.com/dictionary/trespass/

https://av1611.com/kjbp/kjv-dictionary/trespass.html

"1. Literally, to pass beyond; hence primarily, to pass over the boundary line of another's land; to enter unlawfully upon the land of another."

For if ye forgive men their TRESPASSES, your heavenly Father will also forgive you: but if ye forgive not men their TRESPASSES, neither will your Father forgive your TRESPASSES. ( Matthew 6:14-15 )

So basically, someone does us wrong, it is in Gods us to "Forgive those who trespass against us"..

What would this imply?

https://www.openbible.info/topics/trespassing

What would temptation be? But again. I digress

Forgive those who trespass against us. You are "Violating a boundary" Bullying someone based on their belief would be "trespass" because you violated a boundary. Then it states, forgiveness..

https://www.jw.org/en/bible-teachings/questions/what-is-forgiveness/

Forgiveness is the act of pardoning an offender. In the Bible, the Greek word translated “forgiveness” literally means “to let go,” as when a person does not demand payment for a debt. Jesus used this comparison when he taught his followers to pray: “Forgive us our sins, for we ourselves also forgive everyone who is in debt to us.” (Luke 11:4) Likewise, in his parable of the unmerciful slave, Jesus equated forgiveness with canceling a debt.​—Matthew 18:23-​35.

Turn the other cheek. At what point does a person say, I'm tired of turning the other cheek? When someone is bullied and harassed, turning the other cheek many times is not an option.

Presbyterians use the word debts instead of trespasses. My friend told me this.

Atheist here
The act of forgiving is something I'll never understand of Christianity. It puts the person who forgives in danger and favours criminals.
I'm willing to forgive if the wrong act was committed for a good reason or unwillingly or if the person didn't know any better and has now changed.
But forgiving someone who has willingly committed an act of violence (physical or psychological) or stolen something. That's risky. The criminal will then be willing to commit the crime again.
The murderer will kill again.
The thief will steal all your money and you will be left with nothing to give to your children.
Changing criminals into good people is possible, but a close eye must be always kept on them.

Forgiveness is one of the things that I learned when I was studying psychology and really learning a lot about it it's very difficult to forgive in the people who do it always impress me especially when someone's husband gets murdered and they still forgive the criminal that did it. But it comes down to this dot-dot-dot if you're holding a scalding hot coal and getting ready to throw it at someone guess what's going to happen? You're going to burn your hand. One finger pointing at me three fingers pointing back at you

What you are talking about is for A FORM OF, not Form FOR.
Churches can't go PASS A FORM OF, or the churches will be CHARGED with EXCOMMUNICATION , misuse of church Information. That's why most churches are shut down in there times of there End. Excommunication was given to all churches that was OF Church FORM to pay god respect under or over the top 5 Churches that CONTROL all churches FORM OF Teachings in the entire World.

But... if Christianity, as I’ve heard of many Christians, is in its core about love and forgiveness, then why are other (and sometimes those same) Christians also threatening me with hell. If the point of Christianity is forgiving, then why can’t I be forgiven for not believing in something?

Because Yahweh is assembling an army of extremely faithful murderers to help him fight his war

You cannot be forgiven while you don't want to be forgiven and don't regret your mistake. If you misunderstand someone and apologize for it he should forgive you but if you don't apologize and deny doing the wrong thing you won't be forgiven. If you actually just ask God for forgiveness he'll instantly forgive you. But you don't even apologize or admit doing something wrong. That being said God doesn't hate you for it he just can't forgive you because you're the one that doesn't want forgiveness

[janna_jcb]

But I don’t even know if I’m doing anything wrong, so how could a hypothetical god blame me for not doing something I didn’t even know I was supposed to do

[JulieRoze7]

I don't think they mean to threaten you, just know it is a real place.

[janna_jcb]

No one knows it, why am I supposed to know?

[strateguy632]

Allowed self defense but for words don't make a fuss for offensive. Turn cheek= don't fuss for offensive like liberals.

[Liam_Hayden]

opheilēma is more properly translated as "debts" as the term in both the NT and the Septuagint consistency conveys the meaning of owing a financial or moral debt or obligation.

Religion is nothing more than a hustle

[Poormanscomedian]

When you are burning , you won't think that, of course it will be too late.

[Dionigi]

@brittslitt
Aren't they funny when they threaten with something that doesn't exist?

[brittslitt]

@Dionigi 😂😂 yes its ridiculous. Theyve been saying we will burn in hell for centuries and shit hasn't happened. Its delusional and not real. nothing but a book filled with mythology

[Dionigi]

They look like my grandma when she wanted to scold me, but couldn't take off her shoe fast enough to throw it at me🤣
