Matt 18:21-22
Matthew 18:21-22 KJV
Then came Peter to him, and said, Lord, how oft shall my brother sin against me, and I forgive him? till seven times?
[22] Jesus saith unto him, I say not unto thee, Until seven times: but, Until seventy times seven.


So if I literally forgive my brethren seventy times seventy times in a day... and the next time, I killed the person with a Gun and die later.

Q: Can I go to hell?...taking the last event into consideration.

(umm... I know some ova sabi people would be processing the logic of forgiving your brethren that amount in a day... I didn't ask of that. )

Thanks for your Answer.

Ermm,
First of all, isit possible for a single person to offend you 490 times in a single day? If it's so, I'd not want want to meet such an obnoxious person lol.
So, when Jesus said 70 times 7, that was just a hyperbolic statement. He knows it's impossible for someone to offend you that amount of times so bottom line is, even if someone manages to exceed that number when offending you, still forgive him.
Again, you should note that Jesus majorly preached about love, and He gave us the commandment of loving each other as HE HAS LOVED US. His love is the type of love that keeps on forgiving us no matter how much we sin against him. Even though it's a thousand times, he'll still forgive. So therefore, we should be able to forgive an offender in the same manner.
Hope I answered your question.

Although it's practically impossible, but let's assume it happens then it's hell. because God doesn't permit murder. Unless you are forgiven before passing on.

I don't seem to get you. Can God hold what against you? What have you done?

So would I go to heaven if I don't forgive him but don't kill him?

I initially meant the unforgiving spirit which let me kill
