Forgiveness

So the priest in the church always told me when I was A kid, I was forced 2 go to the church by my school but anyway, that's not my point.

They always said that God will forgive thy sins 70x70 times then my question is, why does hell exist then?

If God forgives everybody like the priest said then he should forgive them instead of punishing them.

Another contradiction in the bible.

(I'm atheist btw., cuz I feel embarrassed even writing this.)

It' s 7 x 70 times 😉

"Peter came to Jesus and asked, 'Lord, how many times shall I forgive my brother when he sins against me? Up to seven times?' Jesus answered, 'I tell you, not seven times, but seventy-seven times (or seventy times seven).'" (Matthew 18:21-22)

Damn, so there's a limit? If I said "God damn" seventy six times, I'd be on his last good grace!

The numbers Jesus used were symbolic of infinity. We must forgive unconditionally and infinitely.

Naturally. But then there's literal people out there who are on that last good grace and developing ulcers.

Hell was made by God for all those Heathens that were born before Christ's salvation!

Seriously I wonder if cavemen like fire now biotch.

Damn, the Bible doesn't know math!

77 isnt even close to 490!

What? Did you think Jesus could do calculus? He was the son of god, not a mathematician. 😆 jk

Makes you wonder if grunting cavemen even knew what hell was........

The original poster has rather missed the point of the little sermon! He is clearly not the brightest.

How dare U.
I'm just showing a contradiction in the bible.

If were not careful the big angry god will eat us when we die.😱

As Storm says it's 70 X 7.

So for the Three mainstream Monotheistic Religions, Christianity, Judaism, and Islam is there truly a Time Limit on your ability to be Forgiven ?

There was an amazing quote I found in some novel stating, "If to Forgive was Divine, then there would be No Hell"

If you are truly Sorry In Hell, will God eventually forgive you ? Or will he forever scorn you ?

Good job Lord Urizen. Finally a good thread from you. 👆

There is no such thing as hell, so has god already forgiven us?

according to islam a muslim with the smallest faith will go to heaven but first will be punished those who are not muslim will stay in hell forever
