You're all wrong about Christian forgiveness.
Forgiveness is for YOUR heart to remain pure. Haven't any of you met someone completely bitter and cynical. It's usually because they harbored a grudge for so long.

Don't assume that forgiving someone means you don't want them punished to the full extent.

I agree that grudges are harmful for the people who hold them. The problem is that forgivness isn't Tinas to give. Especially not in public like she did.

So God forgives to keep His heart pure?
I don't think so.....

You have over-simplified and devalued forgiveness.

When I forgive someone who has trespassed against me, it isn't about ME - it's a gift of Love for the forgiven.
