Pure evil can never be forgiven. It must be eliminated and prevented from spreading.
Forgiveness is for mistakes, not murder and mayhem.
Bump.
I do not understand it myself. I am awe struck by the faith of the Copts. May their blood save Egypt!
It is a coward who attacks the Copts. It is a fool who attacks America.
The video clip was amazing.
Thank you for sharing it with us.
Sorry, but my BS meter has pegged.
Do not, ever, forgive depraved psychotic killers and defilers of the weak and vulnerable.
We are going to have to wipe these inbred scum out before we forgive them.
Jesus stood up to the money changers.
A time to kill, and a time to heal.
And the muslims will continue to keep mowing them down. Despite their wonderment.
They should not be allowed to keep murdering people unabated. Their is no virtuousness to allow them to keep doing this to others.
Amazing. How can I say “poor Copts” after this?
Poor ME, who does not have a tenth of this faith. Pray for the West, spiritual sons and daughters of St. Mark!
I was taught if you forgive someone, the burden of their sin is taken off your shoulders and piled on the shoulders of the perpetrator. It is, in a way, a damnation. You become a freed witness, not a bound victim anymore. I probably didn’t say it the right way, but that’s the gist of it.
Incredible. I had to watch it a second time to pay closer attention to the studio host’s face. His eyes didn’t look watery at the end of the interview with the widow, but he sure was blinking as though there might be a few tears in them.
Thank you so much for posting this. I’m not on camera like that guy (at least I hope not, Big Brother), so I’m not even bothering to blink or wipe away the tears.
Many people misunderstand forgiveness. The purpose is it goves you peace. But forgiving someone doesn’t mean you go to dinner with them.

You can forgive someone for a wrong they did to you.
You can’t forgive someone for a wrong they committed to others.
One great thing about living in ancient Israel is if someone was murdered (premeditation) with witnesses (2 or more) GOD SAID HE HAD TO DIE. The person related to them could actually forgive them but it is GOD’s law that they die. Am I right?
” We sleep safe in our beds because rough men stand ready in the night to visit violence on those who would do us harm. “ Geo Orwell
Mr. Orwell understood the difference between forgiveness and protection.
As a man of war and of peace, I understand both dynamics. I sit here writing in my living room with my wife, completely at peace with all, but armed and able to do violence if need be to preserve that peace. I will forgive any one who violates that peace, but will not tolerate any illegal violence on my watch.....
Jesus told his disciples to sell their cloak and buy a sword. I doubt he meant it for use as a wall hanger....
He told the Centurion ( a man similar to me in many ways), to do no unlawful violence to any man....
We are also reminded to give what is Cesar’s to Cesar and to God what is God’s.
Copts (Christians) need to arm and be aware. Of course, the Egyptian ( or most any) government will not tolerate any such thing.....
Your opinion may vary.

Thanks for posting that.
Incredible video. The commentator's expression is worth watching. Shows the power of forgiveness.
It is only through God's grace that we can find the strength and ability to forgive those who commit evil against us. Those who do not know the true God can only think of getting their revenge and that only breeds MORE evil, paybacks and war.
Forgiving doesn’t make what they did right. It will never be right; it will always be wrong. If someone wants to forgive them for this great wrong then fine; just don’t make the mistake of thinking that forgiveness equals saying what they did was okay or a sign of weakness.
In fact it takes great courage to forgive someone like that. I’m not sure I’m capable of that level of forgiveness. I don’t think I am.
Those wrongs will have to be paid for one day in the afterlife. I have no idea what metric will be used but there must be consequences for that kind of pure evil.
