I believe it is in the Book of John where Jesus says something to the effect of ~~ "Whosoever destroys the innocence of a child should tie a milstone about his neck and throw himself into the lake". That does not signify forgiveness of killers/rapists of children to me. At least not by we mere humans.

Luke 17

1 Jesus said to his disciples: "Things that cause people to sin are bound to come, but woe to that person through whom they come. 2 It would be better for him to be thrown into the sea with a millstone tied around his neck than for him to cause one of these little ones to sin. 3 So watch yourselves. "If your brother sins, rebuke him, and if he repents, forgive him. 4 If he sins against you seven times in a day, and seven times comes back to you and says, 'I repent,' forgive him."

Awww, isn't that special. I've run out of cheeks to turn.

If you're referring to my post, make sure you understood it.

The author is arguing "against" this self delusional doctrine of automatic forgiveness.

Indeed..
as a matter of fact there is only one person who can forgive and that is the injured party. That possibility has been eliminated by this POS murdering innocent Carlie.
