[metmom]

Not in do many words. But isn’t forgiveness nowadays being used to justify excusing criminality in a lawless culture?

It is, no doubt.

However, it is not unscriptural for civil or legal justice to be done and the forgiveness to take place anyways.

My forgiving the person does not necessarily exempt them from the consequences of law breaking.

Mostly it sets ME free.

Amen metmom!
