A dying Nazi soldier ask a Jew to forgive him for the killing of innocent Jews. Does he deserve forgiveness? I say yes. Firstly we should forgive everyone because we aren’t perfect we make mistakes too so we have no right to judge. In Mathew 7:1 it says “Do not judge, or you too will be judged." Do you want to be judged for your mistakes ? I sure heck don’t ! so we shouldnt judge others for their mistakes . but actions do have consequences forgiving someone doesn’t mean getting a free slip . judgment is different than justice . In mathew:14 -15 it says "14 For if you forgive other people when they sin against you, your heavenly Father will also forgive you. 15 But if you do not forgive others their sins, your Father will not forgive your sins. “if you want to be forgiven for what you’ve done then forgive others. doesn’t mean you agree with what they did.2ndly the soldier ask for forgiveness . by asking for forgiveness he is showing that he admits what he did was wrong. 3rdly the soldier could have been forced into killing people or brainwashed into killing people. so we don’t know what situation he was in .

I agree 100%. I've always said to forgive because it is in the Bible. I loved the way you used Bible verses to help prove your point.
