Do you forgive Clinton? Is one to believe automatically in the sincerity of a sinner who asks for forgiveness yet doesn't mean to actually repent?

Can you see how close the line is to granting endless mercy and being an enabler and a dupe?

Thank you so much for your post!

Indeed, I forgive Clinton. If Osama bin Laden asks for forgiveness, I forgive him as well. I'm not their or anyone's problem, Christ is --- because judgment has been given to Him:

Verily, verily, I say unto you, The hour is coming, and now is, when the dead shall hear the voice of the Son of God: and they that hear shall live. For as the Father hath life in himself; so hath he given to the Son to have life in himself; And hath given him authority to execute judgment also, because he is the Son of man. - John 5:25-27

Can you see how close the line is to granting endless mercy and being an enabler and a dupe?

Indeed, I've been called a Jesus freak for decades now. I take that as a backhanded compliment!

I don't expect other believers to see things the way that I do. But I do make it a point in my nightly prayers to forgive any thoughts, deeds or words against me and then I ask for His help to forget every offense. I am a very happy, joyful person because of it!
