Is cursing God an unforgiving act?

There are many definitions of God. The one I like comes from Genesis 1:1 which reads: "In the beginning, God created the Heaven(s) and the Earth."

The reason why I choice this scripture is the Hebrew word for God is אֱלֹהִ֑ים which is pronounce in Hebrew something like ’ĕ·lō·hîm. This 'process' is known as the transliteration of a word foreign to us but is rendered using our alphabet so we can get an idea of how the word was pronounced in the foreign language. When a 'source' language word is translated into 'another' language, if the 'destination' language does not already have a word for the source language word, the word is generally rendered in the source language with an expression very close to the transliteration. In this case, the word should have been rendered as something like Elohim, but it wasn't.

This expression, rendered as God, is one of the most mysterious words I have found in the Bible. Why do I say that? The expression can be translated as God, god, gods, judge, divine being and apparently...... us.

Using the less definition mentioned, and then replacing that word with God, your questioned is rendered as:

                        Is cursing us an unforgiving act?

Is a question that most people can easily answer......... but then......

Thank you for the insight, BigJohn. As we are growing into knowingness, it seems evident that all judgment comes from us, and therefore all forgiveness as well. Additionally, forgiveness is not required where there is no judgment, meaning when we are walking in love, there is no judgment, AND no forgiveness.

Therefore, all are already forgiven in love, which is the new covenant. The old covenant was based in the law and its judgment, and we are no longer held to that agreement.

Be blessed and receive love, release yourself in love from any judgment and also release any others being held in judgment. We are free. We are free. We are FREE!

Corinthians 5:12-13.

For what have I to do with judging outsiders? Is it not those inside the church whom you are to judge? God judges those outside. “Purge the evil person from among you.”

There seems to be many conflicting Teachings regarding ' Judging ' others.
Sometimes people's actions need to be judged otherwise the World we live in would be a lot worse than it is today imo....

The verse you quoted seems to be saying that those who judge ought to judge themselves, as in the congregation that agrees together keep their judgments on their agreements to themselves.

I am not a member of a church, so I am not in agreement to church rules. Instead I see the divinity in all things and intend to learn from each one. Those things that I unconsciously judge in others, I find most predominantly and irritatingly in myself. And that is a creation that needs to be dismantled for my continued learning.

I agree there is many conflicting statements in the Bible. It could hardly be otherwise with so many contributors. Still a beautiful work I am grateful for.

Me neither
Judging others is very much part of some Churches when they ' Preach ' not to judge....

What do you personally think ?

[Tirisilex]

I thought that Elohim meant "The many Gods and Goddesses" or something like that.
elohim or 'elohiym (ʼĕlôhîym) is a grammatically plural noun for "gods" or "deities" or various other words in Biblical Hebrew.

Elohim can mean many things...............

Sometimes...... I get a feeling it might resonate more with what we call the 'Universe'.
