Thanks .. I’m glad you liked the post.
Jesus commanded us to: “... forgive those who spitefully use you”. Jesus never commanded us to forgive everybody.
The reason Jesus made that command was because if we hold a grudge or hatred against someone who has “spitefully used us”, then it could emotionally damage us more than it will ever hurt the person who hurt us.
And .. I also believe Jesus commanded us to forgive certain people .. because - after all - Jesus forgave us all our sins and transgressions.
