In reply to Thinker.

Thinker,

Thank you for the comment. And you're to ask the question, "What if someone did die?" That's, of course, where the rubber hits the road; it's at that point, forgiveness becomes especially difficult. We must learn to die to ourselves and forgive, even in the most difficult circumstances. As for where does God commands forgiveness, Ephesians 4:32 comes to mind.
