"For if ye forgive men their trespasses, your heavenly Father will also forgive you: But if ye forgive not men their trespasses, neither will your Father forgive your trespasses." - Matthew 6:14-15

This world would be dramatically different if everyone were inclined to love and forgive!

How do you do it? Share the secret please.


Me, when someone offends me(especially when we ain't close) I see my self withdrawing.


I wish I could tell you, "oh it's a Zen thing and all that self discovery stuff" cheesy
It is just the way I am
...I remember an instance where I bore a massive grudge

In secondary school I once upset a friend (forgotten what now) ...and during break, I bought a snack and a Coke and took them to her class, as a forgive me gesture

Two days after that, during a gist session in the hostel, she said that one thing she always prided herself on was the fact that her daddy brought them up never to say sorry, that it showed how heroic they all were at home! shocked
I felt like I had been shot cheesy
Meanwhile I had been loving her, fighting her battles ( she would be wrong but cos of me, she would get some reprieve)

After, that, I orchestrated a return gangup against her, and during SSCE days, it was a horror for her I am sure
But I remember how hollow that " victory" made me feel
Anyway....yeah, it is basically just the way I am, not an achievement
No secret to it at all...

Cheers

Hmmm, U came up with a solid point.
franconian:
Forgive? Well I personally don't take things to heart but that's just me....it's not because of the bible quotations the OP cited above.

Now let's look at the bigger picture (from the bible viewpoint). God whom Christians claim to have commanded them to forgive had actually not led by example. He still keep enmity with Satan the Devil, hopefully awaiting the day he would destroy him totally.

Now, the bible admonishes us to forgive our offenders (perhaps, our enemies) yet the bible didn't record any attempt by God to make things right with Satan.

And now, God is using his creatures (humans) to prove to Satan that he is "da boss". Else, why would he expose the relatively weak human who did not even realise that he was naked to someone who was able to deceive perfect angels (who knew God personally) to fight against God? And the bible even recorded that heaven, God's abode, knew no peace until Satan and his gang where dismissed and banned from heaven. And that was when he was thrown down to earth (our realm) where humans would later reside?


I believe man was bound to fall, Satan is a very persistent being. If Eve had overcome him in that particular encounter, he will surely return to tempt them again until they eventually fall....He even tempted Christ 3 times. To me, Adam and Eve had no escape route considering that what is suppose to deter them from falling is death, which they knew nothing about....they don't even know if it is sweet or bitter. If angels could fall to Satan's trick, the first two humans had no real chance of succeeding.

To me, God is using us to flex muscles with the Devil. Man fell because Devil exist as an enemy of God...not a friend.
All what we suffer today is as a result of God's Unforgiven attribute!


If God could keep enmity, who are my

At times, I just want to let go of these things called religions cos so many things don't add up. And when you attempt to reason with their fanatics, they term you a blasphemer.

Religion is truly the opium of the people (at least, most people).

Forgetting is in letting go of the pain and the resentment that comes with the memory and it the memory itself
