Nothing emboldens sin more than mercy.
Re; “Nothing emboldens sin more than mercy”
For sure! I once read an article in Reader’s Digest that was written by a Rabbi. It was entitled WHEN FORGIVENESS IS A SIN.
The writer was very clear as to how forgiving the unrepentant is very bad for both those who purport to “forgive” and those who feel that they have a right to forgiveness no matter what they do.
