Forgive or else God will not forgive you...

How would you interpret the following passages?

For if ye forgive men their trespasses, your heavenly Father will also forgive you:  But if ye forgive not men their trespasses, neither will your Father forgive your trespasses. Matthew 6:14-15 KJV

And when ye stand praying, forgive, if ye have ought against any: that your Father also which is in heaven may forgive you your trespasses. But if ye do not forgive, neither will your Father which is in heaven forgive your trespasses. Mark 11:25-26 KJV

The language in the Greek carries straight over contextually into the English language and is really simple to comprehend as read in the KJV text and as well as the inferior translations born out of the Alexandrian manuscripts.

Even my 8 and 10 year old children understand these passages...

If we do not forgive then we are not forgiven by God.

This begs the logical follow up question...'how many unforgiven souls will there be in heaven?'

None.

God gave His Son up to die for our sins, for us to be forgiven.  Forgiveness is a very serious matter to Him.

It is amazing that so many today insist on making these passages say something completely different than what they actually say in plain every day and straight forward language...

The adherents to the modern day and fairly new once saved always saved (OSAS) doctrine need to go through spiritual acrobatics in order to interpret these out of context because to stay within context undermines their doctrine.

OSAS is a doctrine that broadens the road to life which is biblically backwards...

OSAS cannot allow someone who has accepted the Lord's forgiveness to later forfeit it because they decided to not obey God by witholding forgiveness from others. In plain Engliah, as well as the Greek, this is what these passages say...

Just recently in a church my family heard a pastor say that these passages do not really mean what they actually say. He said that they say instead of not being forgiven by God your relationship with God would actually not be as good as it should be and that He would not hear your prayers...but you were still saved.

I expect naysayers to argue against this but for every verse that they will attempt to use in defense of OSAS there are plenty more that say otherwise.

Let's get ready to rumble as this is a very serious matter...
