If you don't forgive others, God will not forgive you. What will happen then?

You will have to keep reincarnating till you do forgive.

“We souls are created with unlimited potential and our responsibility as creations of god is to experience the best we can be. The end result of all our lives, all of our learning and experience is to know our oneness with god and love unconditionally. To be in that place, we need to have the same understanding, knowledge, wisdom and compassion that god has – and we attain this by having a vast range of experiences on earth and other dimensions.

The expression “spiritually enlightened” means a person who has lived many lifetimes on earth finally “gets it”. This person knows that she or he is here to gain wisdom. Life isn’t just a onetime experience. We can’t possibly reach our highest potential in one lifetime. We reach that desired state of perfection by coming back life after life and having as many learning experiences as possible.

After the soul chooses the experiences it wants to have, it chooses a family that will help facilitate those lessons. Souls often come back to the same family system, which explains why even though you are the daughter in this lifetime you may feel like the mother, or maybe why you’ve always thought of your brother as your father. Souls come back over and over with the same family changing roles, walking in another’s shoes if necessary, until all amends are made. Resentments, anger, hatred are all healed. Then they move onto another family system.

ANY UNFINISHED BUSINESS A SOUL HAS WITH SOMEONE FROM A PAST LIFE MUST BE FINISHED. If the soul has resentments or hatred towards another person, it will keep reincarnating with that person until everything is worked out or until it forgives that person and itself for the situations or actions that caused the resentment.”

Echoes of the Soul – Echo Bodine

Yes, it is purgatory when you are thrown to jail and wont get out till you pay to the last mite.

So better forgive now, so you dont stay too long in purgatory.

Or read: Matthew 12:32

And whosoever shall speak a word against the Son of man, it shall be forgiven him: but he that shall speak against the Holy Ghost, it shall not be forgiven him, neither in this world, nor in the world to come.

St Augustine said : There is forgiveness " in the world to come"

The ONLY way to get into Heaevn is to be forgiven by God.

If God doesn't forgive you, then you don't go to Heaven. Those who are not forgiven go to Hell. Jesus never speaks of Puirgatory, so there is no biblical reason to believe that purgatory exists. Purgartory is a MAN-MADE idea, and is outside the desires of God.

Trevor speaks only about Matthew 18:21-35, and leaves Matthew 6:14-15, Matthew 5:23-25, and Luke 23:34 unspoken, if Trevor would have read every word spoken by Jesus he would know the answer as would all of you that gave answers.

So likewise shall my heavenly Father do also unto you, if ye from your hearts forgive not every one his brother their trespasses.

Matt 18:35 (KJV)

-----

14 For if ye forgive men their trespasses, your heavenly Father will also forgive you:

15 But if ye forgive not men their trespasses, neither will your Father forgive your trespasses.

Matt 6:14-15 (KJV)

21 Then came Peter to him, and said, Lord, how oft shall my brother sin against me, and I forgive him? till seven times?

22 Jesus saith unto him, I say not unto thee, Until seven times: but, Until seventy times seven.

Matt 18:21-22 (KJV)

-----

Therefore if thou bring thy gift to the altar, and there rememberest that thy brother hath ought against thee;

24 Leave there thy gift before the altar, and go thy way; first be reconciled to thy brother, and then come and offer thy gift.

25 Agree with thine adversary quickly, whiles thou art in the way with him; lest at any time the adversary deliver thee to the judge, and the judge deliver thee to the officer, and thou be cast into prison.

Matt 5:23-25 (KJV)

-----

34 Then said Jesus, Father, forgive them; for they know not what they do.

Luke 23:34 (KJV)

Artemis had me going for a while there until he got to his last comment, I have learned the same things Artemis has learned, but I learned them from reading the words spoken by Jesus. Artemis your knowledge is great but your source is lacking

I am come in my Father's name, and ye receive me not: if another shall come in his own name, him ye will receive.

44 How can ye believe, which receive honour one of another, and seek not the honour that cometh from God only? John 5:43-44 (KJV)

WHA WILL HAPPEN?

28 Marvel not at this: for the hour is coming, in the which all that are in the graves shall hear his voice,

29 And shall come forth; they that have done good, unto the resurrection of life; and they that have done evil, unto the resurrection of damnation.

John 5:28-29 (KJV)

For the judgment is merciless to one who has not shown mercy; mercy triumphs over judgment.

Why would God forgive you of YOUR sins against HIM, if YOU couldn't forgive SOMEONE ELSE'S Earthly sins against YOU?

Nothing, since God does not exist.
