Yeah, people love to misquote Christ telling us to forgive the truly repentant as many times as is needed in Matthew 18, but ignore the part in the exact same chapter where He says this:
"IF thy brother does thee wrong, go at once and tax him with it, as a private matter between thee and him; and so, if he will listen to thee, thou hast won thy brother. If he will not listen to thee, take with thee one or two more, that the whole matter may be certified by the voice of two or three witnesses. If he will not listen to them, then speak of it to the church; and if he will not even listen to the church, then count him all one with the heathen and the publican
We are to cast out unrepentant evildoers from our communities, not mock God's mercy by giving them a false forgiveness and letting them continue to do evil.
Completely subverted.
