Then that’s a difference between me and you. I will ALWAYS have forgiveness of people. By God almighty I hope to always have forgiveness for everyone. Because if I cannot forgive this guy, or even those who killed my family members, how can I ever be expected to be forgiven from God. Put blankly, don’t ever seek forgiveness from God, if you yourself cannot forgive.
Let’s look at another angle. From scripture. When Stephen from the Bible was being stone to death. Stephen asked to bless these men who were responsible for killing him. He said his prayer to the Lord and asked to please bless this man. And who was one of those men? Saul. And Stephen’s prayer worked. God did bless that man. Who became Paul and wrote a very large portion of the New Testament. This guy speaking here could be your biggest and next ally in a war against evil.
So forgive brother. And pray for your enemies. I’ll leave you with some of God’s words from Paul.
Romans 12: 19 Do not take revenge, my dear friends, but leave room for God's wrath, for it is written: “It is mine to avenge; I will repay,” says the Lord. 20 On the contrary: “If your enemy is hungry, feed him; if he is thirsty, give him something to drink.
Of course. As I said, everyone. If you follow the laws of God, you should be willing to as well. And I know ilI, sadly, don’t follow every law I’m sure. I fail the Lord daily. But this one I want o get right. If I could not forgive someone, then how could I be forgiven? Our sins are the same in the eyes on God.

forgiveness and trusting someone aren't the same
Fist time it’s shame on you, second time it’s…. Don’t be fooled…. Again - George W Booosh
Where did I say they are the same?
Just making a general point using your comment as a jump-off, I think many people equate the two so wanted to put that out there
would you forgive soros?
