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 entire sermon on the mount was done in hyperbole to help illiterate the bar with God sets for Himself, and what is law dictates we live as.

We cannot and will not ever meet that bar.

When Jesus ended his ministry, one of his firmest commandments was to arm yourself. Sell possessions if you must, but be armed and prepared because his followers are sheep amount wolves.

Forgiveness has a place, and we should always be prepared. But forgiveness is not an excuse to allow yourself to be taken advantage of, or to compromise values that can help you be a proper follower of Christ.

By the literal definition of 70 x 7, European Christianity should have been destroyed by the muslims. But we fought back, with the Lord on our side, to protect our faith. Don't mistake modern pacifism for true Christianity values and morals.

I think that was well said, I've never quite been able to put that reasoning into words.

You only truly forgive those who are willing to go through the lengths of forgiveness. An empty "sorry" does not mean he is truly asking for forgiveness. We live in the age of lies; your survival depends on knowing this concept.
