Divorce Biblical Definition
Give me the biblical definition of forgiveness.?
If you ask for forgiveness are you forgiven or is it like you have been married you get a divorce down the rode you ask for forgiveness but it is still held over your head when you remarry by calling it adultery. ????
I'm not sure you will accept a Bible answer, because you do not accept the Bible statement by Jesus on adultery, He made it very clear that unless you received a divorce that was not adultery, and you remarry, you commit adultery, only two actions dissolves a marriage, death or adultery.
Anyway here his your Bible answer pertaining to "forgiveness"
First to clarify what forgiveness is and what it is not. Our concept of forgiveness may have some bearing on our ability to forgive when we are offended by others.
Forgiving others for personal offenses does not mean that we are condoning or minimizing what they have done; neither does it mean letting others take unfair advantage of us. After all, when God forgives us, he is certainly not trivializing our sins, and he will never allow sinful humans to trample upon his mercy. (Hebrews 10:29) According to Insight on the Scriptures, forgiveness is defined as “the act of pardoning an offender; ceasing to feel resentment toward him because of his offense and giving up all claim to recompense.”
Genuine forgiveness is: “recognizing you have been wronged, giving up all resulting resentment, and eventually responding to the offending person with compassion and even love.” It must be differentiated from condoning, excusing, forgetting, or denying an offense; nor does it mean putting yourself back into an abusive situation, to true forgiveness is “letting go of anger and negative feelings."
A reason for being forgiving is expressed at Ephesians 4:32, which says: “Become kind to one another, tenderly compassionate, freely forgiving one another just as God also by Christ freely forgave you.” When it comes to forgiveness, as in other respects, we are urged to become imitators of God.
Refusing to forgive others when there is a basis for mercy can adversely affect our own relationship with God. God expects us to forgive one another. Then we can pray that he will forgive us.
