My only assay at contentiousness in this thread.

The Voice responded to being called "Dear Lord," although in my abnormal mental state esp. one never knows....

Satan is certainly not going to order you to forgive, and then, when you are unable, tell you to ask *him* to forgive for you.

Right? ;-)

exactly, Grey_Whiskers. This was either Our Good Lord or a Good Angel sent by Him.

Heaven is teeming with people who forgive and have been forgiven.

There is no forgiveness in hell--- which is what makes it hell.
