Christians on CS!

[AutumnTail]

X3 thanks! =/ Well I was wondering would it be a good idea to tell my strictly Muslim parents I converted to Christianity since they have been trying to force their Muslim ways on me and I really dislike it but I'm scared they will hurt me for wanting to be a Christen cause they are also racist =/ and I'm wondering should I forgive them for all the pain they caused me? I tried before but...it's just so hard to forgive them =(

D= and I'll pray for her too!

I don't remember where it is in the Bible, I just remember hearing it at church once, but someone asked how many times they should forgive their neighbor and Jesus said, "You should forgive your neighbor not 7, but 77 times." 77 because 7 means purity and 11 means something else...or maybe it was the other way around. *feels like a total idiot for bringing it up* ANYWAY: My point is that you should forgive your parents, no matter what. I forgave my brother for trying to kill me in 6th grade and I still get along with him like...welll like a brother and sister should. I was afraid of him for awhile after that of course, but we don't bring it up and he hasn't tried since so...*shrugs*, I know it's tough, but you can do it! You should also tell your parents (like Phoenix's Rebirth said) because it's not right to keep something like your faith a secret, especially to the people you live with everyday. *is bad at advice* Just listen to Pheonix's Rebirth. She's better at giving advice, mine just sounds confusing. Praying for you as well!

~Praying for all of the rest of your requests!

I believe you're looking for this verse:

21 Then Peter came and said to Him, “Lord, how often shall my brother sin against me and I forgive him? Up to seven times?” 22 Jesus *said to him, “I do not say to you, up to seven times, but up to seventy times seven.

It's Matt. 18:21-22

YES! Thank you. All I could remember was that he was supposed to forgive someone (his brother apparently) not 7 times, but 77.... I knew someone would know what verse I was talking about!

So wait...Jesus is saying up to 77 times or is he just saying that to refer to a long time...if someone has been nasty to me 78 times do I forgive them after that?

Seventy TIMES seventy. And yes.

He says 'seventy times seven', which is technically 490 times. ;3 However, it's meant as poetic hyperbole - his meaning is that there is no limit on the number of times you should forgive someone.

state what you need help with, we will try to help the best we can:)

my help i need is what to do today a friend of mine said i was rude because i wasnt leting her talk and when i did (seeing as though i believed her) she was bragging like nnuts about her new diamond earings and laptop. When i told her she was braging, (politely) she just snaped at me saying, "no im not why dont you look in the mirror for a brager" i was annoyed. Then when i was messing with my other friends in english class, balanceing a book on my head and she kept knocking it off saying, "wow you are a cluts" then i snaped and i got our class homework when i was fighting with her what do i do!?

I have a very good Verse that i really wish to share:

13 “Enter through the narrow gate. For wide is the gate and broad is the road that leads to destruction, and many enter through it. 14 But small is the gate and narrow the road that leads to life, and only a few find it.
Matthew 7:13-14
