Matt.18:21 Then Peter came and said to him, "Lord, how often shall my brother sin against me, and I forgive him? Until seven times?" 18:22 Jesus said to him, "I don't tell you until seven times, but, until seventy times seven.

For the legalistic Christian's Christ words here are hard to get, but for those under the new covenant, that is, the law of love it is an easy thing for them too understand Christ words here. The legalistic person life is about degrees of law, degrees of sinning, and degrees of forgiving. This was the thinking of the Jewish faith Christ spoke to here. Now Christ went beyond the physical up to the mountain of YHWH to speak the truth of a spirit world, a place where no sinful flesh and its desire exist.

Gal. 5:22 But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faith,{or, faithfulness} 5:23 gentleness, and self-control. Against such things there is no law. 5:24 Those who belong to Christ have crucified the flesh with its passions and lusts.
5:25 If we live by the Spirit, let's also walk by the Spirit. 5:26 Let's not become conceited, provoking one another, and envying one another.

In this world the law of love is the truth, the law of love is the life too the spirit world without flesh, for God is love! Subsequently, Christ was no longer dealing with our flesh, soon a transition was coming, Christ would die in his flesh putting away our judgment of flesh so we can walk in a newness of life, by Spirit and not the flesh and its degrees of judgment and forgiveness. The new heavens all Christ followers would entire into by faith, and a rebirth into Christ Jesus was not a legalistic society, it was instead a society existing in love which works no harm towards our neighbor. Love does not see and dwell upon death, it sees and dwells upon life, which means it must separate the flesh from the spirit, we must as human forgive the sins of the flesh against each others, while letting God judge the eternal life of a person spirit.

1Cor.5:4 In the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, you being gathered together, and my spirit, with the power of our Lord Jesus Christ,
5:5 are to deliver such a one to Satan for the destruction of the flesh, that the spirit may be saved in the day of the Lord Jesus.

Jude 1:8 Yet in like manner these also in their dreaming defile the flesh, despise authority, and slander celestial beings. 1:9 But Michael, the archangel, when contending with the devil and arguing about the body of Moses, dared not bring against him an abusive condemnation, but said, "May the Lord rebuke you!"

Such eternal judgments of flesh are already made by God our going beyond that judgment into the eternal life of spirit is wrong. Our own flesh is dead in Christ. Hence, further judgment of the flesh is still death. We are here talking about truth an unemotional judgment of God by law, where God himself put away our sinful flesh judgment by Christ Jesus merit. We are here talking about worshiping God as our King and lawgiver, and judge. None of us can or should put ourselves in that judgment seat. We must forgive if our brother ask us to forgive, not up to seven times as many thought was outstandingly generous, but seven times seven, unlimited forgiveness as God himself has done for us, by putting away our judgment of sinful flesh that nothing good dwells in.

Rom. 7:5 For when we were in the flesh, the sinful passions which were through the law, worked in our members to bring forth fruit to death. 7:6 But now we have been discharged from the law, having died to that in which we were held; so that we serve in newness of the spirit, and not in oldness of the letter.
Rom.7:18 For I know that in me, that is, in my flesh, dwells no good thing. For desire is present with me, but I don't find it doing that which is good. 7:19 For the good which I desire, I don't do; but the evil which I don't desire, that I practice. 7:20 But if what I don't desire, that I do, it is no more I that do it, but sin which dwells in me. 7:21 I find then the law, that, to me, while I desire to do good, evil is present.

Let us remember it is the wicked slave whom thinking they are entitled to make such judgment of the spirit claiming their judgments of the flesh our God's own judgment of the person everlasting spirit. Mankind cannot correctly judge the flesh of a humans let alone the everlasting life pictured by the spirit of the person. God is not weak in sin, God handed down the death sentence for sin in the Garden of Eden something that most human could not imagine. God is not weak towards sin, but we must remember He is also our creator seeing into the eternal future of a person mind, heart, and spirit. Life is not experiment with God, life is not something God just discards over a religious disagreement. Life comes from God, and he places what value his choose upon it.

Luke 12:7 But the very hairs of your head are all numbered. Therefore don't be afraid. You are of more value than many sparrows.

Soon with the outpouring of Holy Spirit would come upon each disciple of Christ they being delivered from the sins of their flesh, Christ would abolishes their judgment by his own flesh. They would be freely forgiven their sin, not in degrees, or according to the type of sin of their flesh. This thoughts was so foreign to the legalistic society of the Jews they would kill Christ and his disciples for such blasphemed to their laws, which condemned all flesh as sinners.

Romans 3:10 As it is written, "There is no one righteous; no, not one.

Luke 9:24 For whoever desires to save his life will lose it, but whoever will lose his life for my sake, the same will save it.

Luke.9:46 There arose an argument among them about which of them was the greatest. 9:47 Jesus, perceiving the reasoning of their hearts, took a little child, and set him by his side, 9:48 and said to them, "Whoever receives this little child in my name receives me. Whoever receives me receives him who sent me. For whoever is least among you all, this one will be great."

Romans 8:6 For the mind of the flesh is death, but the mind of the Spirit is life and peace;

Romans 8:7 because the mind of the flesh is hostile towards God; for it is not subject to God's law, neither indeed can it be.
