Not at all...you are spreading false Gospel!

Each individual must forgive those "who have trespassed against him" if he wants God's forgiveness.

A word on forgiveness, and if I may, an outline of praying for the enemy.

There is a very important ingredient concerning those you forgive..the transgressor must first ask for forgiveness.
Repentance must be sought first.

If you just want to forgive for the sake of your own well being, fine, but the person who wronged you must ask for it...then you are bound to forgive them. They’re only human.
Also, for those of you who tend to be hard on yourselves...you must forgive yourselves as well, or Christ won’t forgive you. You’re only human, and when you repent to God He forgives you and blots out the offense...you should too, and realize that honest repentance brings a kind of resurrection, and you may start anew.

God instructed us through Christ Jesus to love your enemy and pray for them.
Understand that your enemy is a child of God too, and He does not wish to kill their souls in hellfire, but He will, and you should pray, for God’s precious sake, That your enemies get some wits about them and begin to follow the right path.

We are warriors for God and he has many enemies.
Don’t go soft on us...loving your enemy sometimes requires correcting your enemy..that takes real love.

God Bless You All.

OUR FATHER IN HEAVEN . . .

FORGIVE US OUR SINS,

AS

WE FORGIVE THOSE WHO SIN AGAINST US.

#############

Jesus The Christ linked the two very crucially with eternal life implications.

I’ve never found it fruitful to argue with Jesus.
