Are some people not meant to be forgiven?

Everyone can be forgiven by God if they turn to Him. People are less forgiving.

Nobody's meant to be forgiven. Nobody's meant to not be forgiven. You determine what you do and how you feel (within your own limitations) and you assign meaning as you wish.

I don't believe in "meant to be" for hardly anything.

Your question makes me think of Judas. There will never be an answer to that in my belief. Was he born to betray Jesus?This is a very complex question.

That's ultimately up to God.

By whom? People don’t forgive out of pride. God forgives

I believe that everyone should be forgiven IF they show remorse and change their behavior.

However, the old saying "To forgive and forget" is wrong.

"Forgive - AND Remember" - do so as to prevent a reoccurrence in the future; or, alternatively, "Forgive, and Protect - By Remembering."

Grace is available to all

Forgiveness requires two parts. Someone to do the forgiving and someone remorseful and worthy of forgiveness.
Most forgiveness is therefore only half done.

I'm not a judge..I do believe if one is sincere and tries to fix their ways for real, anything is possible

Sometimes it's hard to forgive people but if you don't it only hurts you, while they live in peace

If they keep doing the same thing

In order for forgiveness to be given, a person must express genuine regret and do what they can to repair whatever it is they did that they need to be forgiven for. Until they do that, then yes, they are not meant to be forgiven.

Thinking in terms of people is already a poor way to handle it from the start.

Instead, it would be better to ask "Are some actions not meant to be forgiven?"

Well,I dont think a person should be forgiven if 1)They are not truly sorry for what they've done 2)Don't intend to change their behavior.

Everyone needs forgiving. If not for them but for the heart of the one they shattered.

{@kingfish1] some maybe not . sometimes old wounds can run deep

Depends on what you believe and if you can forgive someone

Sometimes you have to give it to God. Some people are incorrigible.

depends on who you're talking about.

[c=359E00]what kind of people?[/c]

Yes. Some are & some just aren't

I think so

Yes. Forgiveness is mine to give or not give. Some people don't deserve my gift.If you steal my money i can forgive ,if you steal my innocence no way in hell.

Holding on to anger after someone has hurt you just means you are now hurting yourself. I know,i've done it.

Yes.. People who do not acknowledge their wrong and are not seeking forgivness from the one they have wronged..

Maybe so..I found, over the yrs, that understanding is more important than forgiveness.

Some terrible things can't be forgiven.

I think that forgiving someone is in your best interest. Let go off the anger and resentment. Forgetting though is another thing.

Idk. I'll forgive anything, for my own sake. That doesn't mean I'll forget it tho.

It also doesn't mean that I'll be friends or interact with the person I forgave.

I usually forgive. But when people start talking of enacting violence on people because political ideologues on tv said they were a naughty word, and pretend they are doing good, I have no forgiveness on those that bring that violence on me. I’ve seen people like that consistently consciously lie to push the idea that so and so is bad so violence is good. A few years ago I’d have put it down to good intentioned ignorance. But not anymore, after the last couple of years, said people would have had to consciously lie.
