Emoc:
Forgive? Yes
Forget? No

Forgiveness doesn't mean memory loss.

Exactly

tonicyril:

I have mom I don't feel happy asking her mom

AntiChristian:


Olódò!

Read Ellicott's commentary of that verse!

We don’t need commentaries to understand Bible verses. Bible is clear unlike the meaningless haphazardly written Quran that you need Tafsir written by people who were not there when Muhammad was fabricating his so called revelation, to understand the Quran!

Forgiveness is cool but forgetting is an illusion...
The only way I can temporarily forget is if I make you like you never existed... Going far and far away from you. Creating a room whereby such situation would never repeat itself or probably will not remember you...
The same treatment I gave my uncle because if I didn't forgive I might end up doing blaad for blaad... But I forgave and I created a distance as far as possible

Goodbadboy009:

It better to look at the source directly. So we are reminded the importance of forgiving and forgetting, i do not mean instant memory loss, but the importance of not holding it against a person, when you do not hold it against a person, you will open the door for growth.

You can practice not focusing on what the person has done after forgiveness, reaffirm faith in the process, it will also produce growth in oneself, something we need, that growth makes us like the One is made us.

Forgiving and not reminding yourself of what wrong, not only make you grow in faith, it also humbles the person who wronged you and they may change genuinely.

Forgive and forget... instructed by God

But our brains can never forget because you can't control your Hippocampus part of your brain that hold memory...

So God just wants us to forget in way like... when we see that person or think about it ... we can just wave it away and pretend it dint happen

Yemi4luv:


I have neighbours and family I don't feel happy asking them money often I'm still searching for a good job

so you thinking asking people you don’t know will help matters, Oga go assist bricklayer find wetin to eat,,


And you even get phone and data, sell the phone go chop first

Even if our brains record things, it can also learn to gradually forget or not dwell on it, so the time we would have used dwelling on it, could be used to focus on the good aspect of it.

If we can see, the goodness of God in everything, then that goodness may grow or multiply.

We belong in heaven, as the new persons or the new Creation, we are eventually translated into that coming kingdom through Jesus Christ, the Way.


Colossians 1:13-14
“He has delivered us from the power of darkness and conveyed us into the kingdom of the Son of His love, in whom we have redemption through His blood, the forgiveness of sins.”

PstBiola:
The phrase “forgive and forget” is not found in the Bible. However, there are numerous verses commanding us to “forgive one another” (e.g., Matthew 6:14 and Ephesians 4:32). A Christian who is not willing to forgive others will find his fellowship with God hindered (Matthew 6:15) and can reap bitterness and the loss of reward (Hebrews 12:14–15; 2 John 1:.

Forgiveness is a decision of the will. Since God commands us to forgive, we must make a conscious choice to obey God and forgive. The offender may not desire forgiveness and may not ever change, but that doesn’t negate God’s desire that we possess a forgiving spirit (Matthew 5:44). Ideally, the offender will seek reconciliation, but, if not, the one wronged can still make a decision to forgive.

Of course, it is impossible to truly forget sins that have been committed against us. We cannot selectively “delete” events from our memory. The Bible states that God does not “remember” our wickedness (Hebrews 8:12). But God is still all-knowing. God remembers that we have “sinned and fall short of the glory of God” (Romans 3:23). But, having been forgiven, we are positionally (or judicially) justified. Heaven is ours, as if our sin had never occurred. If we belong to Him through faith in Christ, God does not condemn us for our sins (Romans 8:1). In that sense God “forgives and forgets.”

If by “forgive and forget” one means, “I choose to forgive the offender for the sake of Christ and move on with my life,” then this is a wise and godly course of action. As much as possible, we should forget what is behind and strive toward what is ahead (Philippians 3:13). We should forgive each other “just as in Christ God forgave” (Ephesians 4:32). We must not allow a root of bitterness to spring up in our hearts (Hebrews 12:15).

However, if by “forgive and forget” one means, “I will act as if the sin had never occurred and live as if I don’t remember it,” then we can run into trouble. For example, a rape victim can choose to forgive the rapist, but that does not mean she should act as if that sin had never happened. To spend time alone with the rapist, especially if he is unrepentant, is not what Scripture teaches. Forgiveness involves not holding a sin against a person any longer, but forgiveness is different from trust. It is wise to take precautions, and sometimes the dynamics of a relationship will have to change. “The prudent see danger and take refuge, / but the simple keep going and pay the penalty” (Proverbs 22:3). Jesus told His followers to “be as shrewd as snakes and as innocent as doves” (Matthew 10:16). In the context of keeping company with unrepentant sinners, we must be “innocent” (willing to forgive) yet at the same time “shrewd” (being cautious).

The ideal is for the offender to truly repent of the sin and for the offended to forgive and forget. The Bible tells us true repentance will result in a change of actions (Luke 3:8–14; Acts 3:19) and that love keeps no record of wrongs (1 Corinthians 13:5) and covers a multitude of sins (1 Peter 4:. However, changing hearts is God’s business, and, until an offender has a true, supernatural heart change, it is only wise to limit the level of trust one places in that person. Being cautious doesn’t mean we haven’t forgiven. It simply means we are not God and we cannot see that person’s heart.

Quite revealing

Lol.

chaddy16:
When you forgive truly, you have forgotten. That's Christ like.

Yes

Forgiveness is a sin even God still punish people after asking for forgiveness.

Happy Sunday!!!

Forgive—> YES✅

Forget—> BULLSHIT

One can forgive but can't forget. Your inability to forget doesn't mean you have forgiven the offender

OSUigboFlatHead:
In my opinion, people should not always forgive.
People always fuckîng know what they're doing. WHEN YOU'RE HURTING SOMEONE, YOU KNOW DEEPLY IN YOUR HEART THAT YOU'RE HURTING THE PERSON, AND YOU KNOW HOW IT FEELS...

Not all offenses or sins should be forgiven.
Sins like:

- CHEATING
- STEALING
- KILLING
Should not be forgiven.
EVEN GOD DOESN'T FORGIVE ALL SINS. HE IS ALSO A VERY JEALOUS GOD. WE ARE ALL STILL PAYING FOR THE SINS OF ADAM AND EVE TILL DATE.

When people are made to take responsibilities for their actions, they'll truly repent and we would live in a better world.
Crime is only on the increase in this world because people are getting away with a lot...

.
Here is an additional thing you have to know. Forgiveness does not mean absence of consequences. The prodigal son was forgiven but he no longer have inheritance. He would have to work hard for another inheritance. So people shud be made to bear responsibility for their actions e.g. thieves, murderers, rapists, LGTQ idiots and the rest.

You're wise
