This is a serious question requiring honest and soul serching answers. Matthew 6:15 ESV but if you do not forgive others their trespasses, neither will your heavenly Father forgive your trespasses. Matthew 18:15 CSB "If your brother sins against you, go tell him his fault, between you and him alone. If he listens to you, you have won your brother. 3 Likes |

I forgive immediately but keep the lessons in mind. I don't hold grudges. Life is very fragile, no need to carry burdens of unforgiveness. 39 Likes 3 Shares |

I forgive easily but I never forget unless my brain forgets it. actively trying to forget for me results in me achieving the opposite. I would keep remembering that I'm trying to forget which means I'm not forgetting. these days I let nature take its course about the forgetting part while I handle the forgiving part. 5 Likes |

I would like to ask people as the Op where they get this idea of "forget" from. If it's from the Bible, they should just give a verse, because I have never seen any in the Bible. All I see is forgive, but it seems men are inclined to complicate things for themselves. God says man should forgive, man adds forget to what God says making things even more difficult for himself. God never said anyone should forget but forgive, because it may be impossible to forget what someone did, but to forgive is always possible. For instance, how can Jesus forget what men did to Him which He was on Earth, when He has the scars to always remind Him? He has forgiven all those who did that to Him, and He proved it by praying to the Father to also forgive them. But the fact remains that even though He's truly forgiven them, it's impossible for Him to forget. So don't worry about the forgetting part which is man-made, but just sincerely forgive men their trespasses against you, as God commanded us to do, and it shall be well with you. God bless. 27 Likes 1 Share |

doggedfighter:Some pains or hurt can not be easily forgotten. Even though u may have forgiven the fellow but it will be very difficult for u to forget how he or she made u feel. Yes, whenever u see the person, the flashback keeps coming. In u, u will become so wrath again. After sometime, ur wrath cools down again. That's why we should be very careful on how we hurt people. They may forget what u did to them, but will never 4get how u made them feel. 6 Likes |

They are two different things.. It's easier to forgive but then it's not advisable to forget so that you can be well guided next time |

 Never. If I forgive all wrongs, it means I am insane since I have lost the ability to recognize right and wrong. If I forget everything, then my brain will be just as useless as that of Olu Jacobs. I forgive when it is not worth being upset about but just like Constantin Demiris, I never forgive an injury, neither do I forget a favor. 14 Likes 3 Shares |

I hardly take offence, so I have no one to forgive, let alone forget. Keeping grudge/offence torments or disturbs the peace of mind... And, nothing is worth my peace of mind! 3 Likes

We must learn to forgive at all time. As for me oo, na nyash wey go kill me I dey follow now. My God is awesome, he created both small and Big nyash. Infact, In the book of Gen 1:31 says it all...."And God saw every thing that he had made, and, behold, it was very good" Indeed my God is Great and BIG.

Can the mind forget? I believe forgiveness makes us remember the hurt in a different way. 2 Likes 1 Share |

jesusjnr2020: To forgive here means to rescind all intended or ongoing judgment, punishment and retribution against the person of the offender not the sin. To forget in this contest means never counting the offense in any future decision as it regards the person of the offender. It also means erasing the malice, grudge and antagonism the offense created. Someone can claim to refrain from punishing an offender because of pleads but holds the malice, grudge and antagonism the offense created perpetually. This is against the doctrine of forgiveness. 1 Like |

To forgive is by divine mandate , but to for getis highly difficult. Wen u forgive a person is fine but wen u see that person u remember what he or she did to you |

To forgive is normal...I do that easily. But nobody dead or alive can boast of forgetting, even Jesus made us know that he never forgets in Mathews 25:43... "I was a stranger and you did not welcome me, naked and you did not clothe me, sick and in prison and you did not visit me". 2 Likes |

Unless someone develops Amnesia...remove the "forget" part. Forgive alone is enough! Also, we need to remember in other not to fall into that "position" again. |

gigabyte13: We are talking about the doctrine of forgiveness and the purpose.
