You misunderstand my statement....I have forgiven both of them but this does not mean we forget....forgive and forget are not in Scripture....forgivenss is....Forgiveness is for the person who is hurt not for the offender....forgivenss is to lessen the burden of pain and through this we do not take revenge.....YHWH/God is the revenger....that is Scriptual....Just because someone claims to believe does not make them a Christian....being a christian is to take up your cross and follow Him....not use Him as a cloak to hide behind.....98% of Christians are hypocrites....I myself am sometimes a hypocrite...I smoke cigaretts, I curse sometimes, I get angry and think of revenge.....but do I carry my thoughts out no...do I smoke yes...does this make me a bad person...NO....because I follow Christ.....Do you understand how hard it is to forgive truly forgive...? My WH doesn't work, he admitted to using me, he cheated on me, brought the woman to my home, etc, etc......I have forgiven him and am reconciling with him....does this mean I trust him...NO...does this mean I have to treat him with kit gloves NO.....does this mean my marriage will work....I don't know......FORGIVENSS is not for the other person but for you....Now do I believe the blood that Christ shed saves the person who confesses Christ....yes at first....but if that person then after accepting the gift of life then goes off and intentionally sins does this mean they are still saved....NO.....grieving the holy spirit is never given definition in Scripture....but I can assure you that if one accepts Christ and then turns and intentionally and willfully (key words) sins then they lose thier salvation......Christ tells the parable of the wheat and the tares....Tell me who are the tares? Is it the unbeleivers....No....it is the believers....you may want to re-read that parable.....Being a Christian or follower of Messiah does not mean we use Him and do whatever we want...nor does it mean that we should put all the blame on the advasary...because we have FREE WILL....we either walk the narrow path or we walk the wide road...we have a choice....We are forgiven but we will also stand in front of YHWH and give account of our life and what we did with it after recieving the gift of life....we will answer as to whether we picked up our cross or tossed it to the side for lustful pleasures of this world.....a Christian who willfully sins loses thier salvation and must pray and change in order to get another chance.....only through true repentance will Christ again give another chance....remember He tells the sinner go and sin NO MORE.....He does not say, hey follow me and live as you will.....NO He tells us to pick up our cross and follow Him.......remember our reward follows us....He will bring his reward or his sword........upon return to collect His elect
