Maybe I didn’t communciate my heart or thought well.
I’m talking about forgiving things done to me . . . or anything I have any connection with.
I could forgive things done to my child, or loved one, for example.
I can forgive the Japanese for Pearl Harbor.
And, ON OCCASION, God has had me pronounce forgiveness over others because they needed to hear His forgiveness spoken tangibly. That was always following repentance, IIRC.
The Scriptures I listed take priority, of course, over any of my pontifications.
I just think folks are not very thoughtful about the implications of each of those Scriptures. Folks tend to take a narrow view of each of those Scriptures.
I think it is God’s nature to take a broad view of those Scriptures.
He is looking for Biblical ‘excuse’ to save people not excuse to damn them.
I’ll tell you an interesting humbling experience by FREEPMAIL.
But I have no obligation to say to someone standing over another with a smoking gun, I forgive you....thats dumb...the victim on the ground has that power..
I think I would have the obligation to hit the guy with the smoking gun over the head with a 2 X 4...thats my obligation.
I can forgive damage done to me and only to me....I can say I forgive you the pain you have given me, but not the pain you have given to another...
I will be glad to read your freepmail...:O)
Are You Crazy?!?
