Real Christians, does God forgive you if you do not forgive your fellow man?

What if you spend all your free time plotting against people who have wronged you? Will you go to Heaven?

"But if you do not forgive others their sins, your Father will not forgive your sins." -- Jesus (Matthew 6:15)

    if u spend all your life plotting against others...u no doubt have a neurochemical imbalance....and i doubt any deity would reward such behaviors..but then again, deities r fictitious..so i guess they do whatever theyre written to do

    Do you even know what forgiveness is? I'll bet you think you do. ..and you would be wrong. It has NOTHING to do with being magnanimous enough to overlook the "faults " of another

    Fireball has typed 185,000 answers in this section, that's about 20,000 per year. More than 50 answers every day, for years and years and years. She lives in this section.

    Yet, after all these years she still has not even the slightest clue what an atheist is, what a Buddhist is, or what a Pagan is. She must be the champion of ignorance. It's really better to just ignore so much stupidity. She can't be helped.

    The link was a fun read though. Irony after irony after irony. Good stuff.

    Yes, he forgives your sins. BUT, not forgiving others is a serious sin itself and as the Bible says, "you have the greater sin." So he may forgive your other sin but you have a new bigger one to repent of in itself

    No one is a real christian. Just ask a christian and they will tell you how everyone else besides themselves is not a real christian. Being a real christian is self proclaimed and nonsense at best.

    No read Matthew 6:9 you get forgiveness the way you forgive others.

    God isn't going to forgive someone who isn't genuine. If you are more concerned with earning a spot in heaven than being a good person, he sees right through you.

    No

    Unforgiveness is never a Christian option

    Mat 6:14 For if ye forgive men their trespasses, your heavenly Father will also forgive you:

    Mat 6:15 But if ye forgive not men their trespasses, neither will your Father forgive your trespasses.

    No.

    God doesn't forgive anyone for that reason.
