In the first question we’re posting at the River City Church blog, we’re dealing with a specific verse and the subject of forgiveness, so let’s start with the verse itself and get right into it.
“Pay attention to yourselves! If your brother sins, rebuke him, and if he repents, forgive him, and if he sins against you seven times in the day, and turns to you seven times, saying, ‘I repent,’ you must forgive him.” Luke 17: 3-4 ESV
The short answer here is yes…and no, however the short answer is incomplete.
