When God says that we must forgive 70x7 does it means that God will forgive us 70x7 as well, except for suicide and blasphemy right?..Agree or Disagree?

Answer:
I believe the point of this was to emphasize how important it is to forgive others, not how many times God forgives us for any given sin...

it doesn't mean a literal number it means no limit we should forgive others without keeping count or wondering how many more times we should forgive because god forgives us each and every day, forgivenss and salvation is a past, present and future process that will be consumated and perfected on the last day, but that does not mean that we should keep on sinning thinking that will not be in danger if we have repented and habitually still live in a fixed state of sin. For forgivness to take place there must also be a changed heart a repentent heart.

I think God forgives all sins, because they are equal in His eyes, if sincerely asked for. And I also think that the "70x7" number itself, is unimportant, but more so to take from it that however harshly you judge and forgive, that's the same degree that God will judge and forgive you. I believe the reason that you don't get forgiveness for suicide, is because there is no time for repentance. But, if you were to attempt suicide and survive and ask for forgiveness and turn your life around, God will grant you that.

That was an example of how much we should forgive other people, not how much He will forgive us. And He forgives everything... ~+~

70 x 7 =lots. In other words, keep on forgiving.

God will forgive you for anything if you ask for forgiveness because Jesus died for your sins already. The 70x7 is meant to mean the same thing- it is such a large number that you should always forgive those who wrong you.

If God expects man to forgive that much, and man is weak compared to God, how much more shall God forgive those who ask?
