I've become much better at forgiving and I feel it has helped heal my spirit. There are those that I don't feel deserve forgiveness like pedophiles, but I've found a loophole by just not considering them human. Not to insult by comparing them, but when a dog does something bad like kill or be degenerate, I don't blame the dog because it's an animal, and therefore doesnt need forgiveness, they need training or to be put down (in the case the dog mauled a child or killed another pet or human, only put dogs down for serious agregences.).

But I feel there's some people that hit closer to home, like close friends or family that you came to love and respect, that have done something horrible or wrong to us that could be forgiven, but we could not bring ourselves to do it because it was a serious offence. For example, if your family abandoned you because of the COVID Scam but are trying to re-associate with you acting like nothing happened.

How can you forgive something like that, or how do you handle the internal struggle something like that must cause?

(Note, I am not personally struggling with this particular problem, but I do think it's an important subject that a lot of people struggle with and it needs to be discussed) (Edit: grammar)

The number is kind of a cool deep dive. When Cain killed Abel his big worry was being hunted down so God marked him and promised a punishment of sevenfold to anyone that touched him. His great great great grandson Lamech was every bit as wicked and said if Cain is avenged seven times, then Lamech 70x7.

The descendants of Cain used it to their advantage and became powerful leaders. So why would God allow the wicked to rule over everyone? It’s actually quite brilliant. If the righteous were in charge then the wicked would uprise and revolt overnight, killing all good men. So by allowing the wicked to rule, the righteous might have a chance to slide by unnoticed. So it’s almost a way of saying don’t be like them. If they’re marked 70x7 protection then we simply forgive 70x7 and neutralize any advantage they would’ve otherwise had. Their day will come.

In regards to your family, it’s never a fun situation to find yourself in. I haven’t seen my parents in 4 1/2 years under very similar circumstances. I just accept it for what it is but wouldn’t shut them out if they did ever reach out in the future. As tempting as it might be to say we were right and they were wrong, they were nasty hateful people for what? Because we refused an untested gene therapy? They know they messed up and it’s their shortcomings and pride that prevent them from apologizing. I look at them like immature children sometimes lol

Sorry for not replying for so long. You gave me alot to consider. I will definitely have to reread Genesis and Exodus with this new perspective in mind. This really could be God's plan He was talking about this whole time. thank you for sharing your insight!
