I know that I am not a pastor, but I have some knowledge of the bible. I have not come across anywhere it's written that we must forget, but the bible insists that we must forgive. This issue of forgetting is a man-made idea or ideology. We can not forget things that made significant impact on our lives either positively or negatively unless we get too old to remember, we have a debilitating illness that hampers our reasoning and remembering things or we just learnt something by rote method just to pass an exam. Forgetting anything is so difficult unless that thing is of no significant purpose in our lives or we didn't really encode the message/knowledge at the initial stage. For example, a child never forgets the day the parent bought him/her a favourite toy and also such a child will never forget the day his/her parents had a fight over an important issue such as an affair. Such a child could live with remembering such events or occurrences even till old age or death.

But we can forgive anything, even though most people would tend to forgive after retaliation. Nonetheless, forgiveness is very possible because God has given us the ability to forgive and that's why he has decreed it upon us to forgive. If forgiveness were an impossible thing, God would not have tasked us to forgive our neighbours. However, forgiving someone doesn't mean that one must not be cautious of his/her enemies. I would forgive my enemy who I know dislikes me for one reason or the other, but I would not honour his/her invitation for a lunch or dinner.

To forgive and forget are two different things

You can find it abit easy to forgive but not to forget

In my own way, it depends on who offend me

I will forgive you if you have remorse for the wrong you did to me

But might not forget it, the reason is that I will be more careful with you knowing that you might do worst than you did earlier

So that will be a guide to me incase you act funny again, then I won't be suprise

When you forget, you loose yourself to the person and continue whatever you have with the person, if he hurts you again, that one might be more painful than the previous

Forgiveness is not enough without forgetting

You have to forgive and forget


Meanwhile sometimes it’s not what we see that matters

Is it possible to forget? I don't have amnesia,and of course sometimes remembering a wrong than was done to you may trigger negative emotions, We're only human.
