Hello
I have a question: Do Christians have to forgive everything no matter how bad the sins?
I know the Bible says he have to forgive, and I understand that’s the best thing to do, but I wonder if everything is forgivable or there are some sins that are non-forgivable?
I got divorced because he was physically and emotionally violent, also he had a very strong drug addiction at the time, he committed adultery several times and frequented pornographic chats with strangers. He even wanted me to have an abortion of the same child we are now in trial for. 7 years ago I regain strength in God and was able to leave that relationship.
Last night he sent me several emails which I have not replied yet. In one he said “you are not a real Christian girl because you haven’t forgiven me and you don’t trust me”. My ex does not believe in God, but knows I am faithful to HIM and he has tried to manipulate me with comments like that.
I moved on, I really don’t think about what he did in the past because I’m happy and in peace.
I think is possible to forgive (or ignore something in your heart/mind), but I think is not possible to trust after years of abusive behavior, and stand there as a door mat for someone to put me down anytime he wants when things don’t go his way.
My son lives with me and sees his father every other weekend. And now the father wants us to be friends for the sake of our son, which I think will never be possible. I don’t talk bad things to my son about his father or argue in front of him, so I don’t understand his goal.
So I keep thinking: is everything forgivable or there are some sins that become unforgivable?
Thank you.
