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)
I understand your perspective and its logic.
My perspective has been . . . born out of much suffering. It is much broader and there is no possible way it can shrink back to where it used to be.
God has been extremely emphatic with me about forgiveness. I’ve never found it fruitful nor wise to argue with Him—not in Scripture, not in dialogue.
