And you think the black would have managed south africa's wealth better. Why doU think they are today africa biggest economy, it is the stone aged black mentality like yours that has gotten africa to this point. You blame white for everything and used it to justify all your atrocities. Animal Receive sense

I think you are the monkey that should receive sense.

-There is a difference between economy, infrastructure and wealth. If arable land and resources in equal measure in the hands of blacks, south African blacks will not be so polarized - I guess you are too dumb to understand what that means.

-Who mentioned everything?
You need basic commonsense and ability to read before entering an argument primate!

FORGIVENESS is not the absence of PUNISHMENT

FORGIVENESS is not the absence of PUNISHMENT or CONSEQUENCE

rubbish,

Nelson Mandela decided to forgive the murders and exploitation of south Africa by whites, as a result he left 90% of his country's wealth in the hands of the minorities. For his troubles he received international awards and good press from white people who benefitted from his idiocy!

Black Africans usually forgive their governments and foreign exploiters because they believe judgement day will get them.

Forgiveness is a disease and an illiterate catastrope that has rendered most blacks nothing more than f0ols!

100℅ correct.

It's only black people I hear talking that forgiveness crap.
Yet , white people do not ever forgive.
In fact, their god has no intention of forgiving sinners.
That's why hell is kept stoking hot for eternity.
Daahhhh!!

Their entire civilization is built solidly on the principles of reward and punishment.

iliyande:
Forgiveness can be a powerful catalyst for change, benefiting anyone who hopes to let go of the past. People often sees Christians as weak simply because we obey the teachings and principles of Christ which is based on forgiveness and love.

Forgiving others may seem to be a choice, and in one sense it is a choice, but God has been very clear about forgiveness. He has given us specific direction in numerous Scriptures, all of which can be summed up in just one word -- forgive! God's Word says, "And when you stand praying, if you hold anything against anyone, forgive him, so that your Father in heaven may forgive you your sins" (Mark 11:25). "Do not judge, and you will not be judged. Do not condemn, and you will not be condemned. Forgive, and you will be forgiven" (Luke 6:37).
It doesn't mean that you have to become friends with the person who's injured you.

Forgiveness doesn't mean that wrongdoing is ignored or condoned

It doesn't mean that feelings of anger and bitterness magically go away.

It doesn't also mean that you trust someone again just as you trusted them before.

It doesn't mean that you won't be hurt again.

Forgiveness can be very, very hard especially if the injury someone has done us is deep and lasting, the feelings of hurt and anger might keep coming back. We often assume when Jesus told Peter to forgive 77 times that he meant 77 separate offences – an extreme way of saying that there's no limit to the number of times we ought to forgive. But maybe he's also acknowledging that there's no limit to the number of times we might have to forgive the same offence. What has been done to us keeps coming back: the memory of injury or betray rises in our minds again, for the second or the 10th or the 50th time, and each recollection requires a fresh act of forgiveness.

But for Christians, forgiveness is more than setting aside revenge and more than just moving on with our lives. We aren't just called to forgo revenge against our enemies, we're called to love them. Loving forgiveness is an intention. Resolving not to take revenge is at best neutral. Resolving to follow in the footsteps of Christ, who even when he was dying on the cross prayed that God would forgive those who crucified him, involves a movement of the heart towards the other person – and that isn't possible without the work of the Spirit within us to transform us into the likeness of Christ.

But forgiveness, at whatever level, has to be free, or it isn't real.

Now lets look at it this way. someone that keeps offending you and you follow Christ with 70×70times of forgiveness. Probably before you forgave that person, you have kept malice for days then later you forgive by being the first person to greet the person, now the person smile and said to you that you are not strong that she enjoyed the malice because the person is your boss.

real forgiveness is seeing the person that kill your only son and you don't even insult the person.
I pray for holy spirit to guide our actions.

Forgive but do not forget.

But we nigerians don forgive as such d ones who do we see dem as mumu n dey are taken advantage of so much for christianity in nigeria

He goat what do you need to run an economy, and improve infrastructure. Oh well you probably so dumb to know that in the end well managed wealth is the key. You here calling Mandela an idiot for the brilliant mov he made, while your miserable self have Probably nothing going on well for you. Animal in human skin. Mandela shouldn't have forgiven the White and se what would have happened, you probably think the whites were at the mercy of blacks.

God bless you brother, further explanation on forgiveness is fully explained.

bro4u:
[s]Forgiveness... that is what those blood sucking mammals are using against us, Christians from time immemorial has been very passionate in showing forgiveness to whoever inflict pain on them, that is why when Christians are killed and they have the intention of retaliating, the moment their Pastors tells them to relax and forgive they immediately concur.

Well for me its weakness because Christians have lost many lifes that could be easily avoided by a "show-off challenge", Christians have lost so many territories like Syria, Libya, Lebanon, Turkey, Tunisia, Morocco and many more due to our mild attitude and character towards the Ishmaelite's, now is not the time to show forgiveness towards a group of people that have vowed to inflict pain and agony on Christians, the earlier we stand to defend ourselves just like the CRUSADERS of old, the better for us.[/s]

yen yen yen... xtians have inflicted pain on themselves and on others more than any others.
Crying about lost territories...most of xtian territories,how did you gain them ?

mesoprogress:
That's one stark difference between Islam and Christianity. While we teach forgiveness, pray and love your enemies, Islam teaches revenge, death to enemy etc. You see them easily burning American flag, a perceived arch enemy. Christian teaching restrains Christians, even the non serious ones. If Muslims can only teach love for enemies, there would be peace in the world.

I think xtians screaming at the top of their voices praying for the death of their enemies right in their churches should be more telling.
