AntiChristian: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 |

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. Quote from Ephesians 4:32 “Be kind and compassionate to one another, forgiving each other, just as in Christ God forgave you.” Matthew 6:14 “For if you forgive other people when they sin against you, your heavenly Father will also forgive you.” Colossians 3:13 “Bear with each other and forgive one another if any of you has a grievance against someone. Forgive as the Lord forgave you.” Luke 6:37 “Do not judge, and you will not be judged. Do not condemn, and you will not be condemned. Forgive, and you will be forgiven.” Matthew 18:21-22 "Then Peter came to Jesus and asked, 'Lord, how many times shall I forgive my brother or sister who sins against me? Up to seven times?' Jesus answered, 'I tell you, not seven times, but seventy-seven times.' " Psalm 86:5 “You, Lord, are forgiving and good, abounding in love to all who call to you.” Mark 11:25 “And when you stand praying, if you hold anything against anyone, forgive them, so that your Father in heaven may forgive you your sins.” Psalm 32:1 “Blessed is the one whose transgressions are forgiven, whose sins are covered.” Matthew 6:15 “But if you do not forgive others their sins, your Father will not forgive your sins.” 1 John 1:9 “If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness.” Hebrews 8:12 “For I will forgive their wickedness and will remember their sins no more.” Proverbs 17:9 “Love prospers when a fault is forgiven, but dwelling on it separates close friends.” Proverbs 10:12 “Hatred stirs old quarrels, but love overlooks insults.” Psalm 103:12 "As far as the east is from the west, so far has he removed our transgressions from us." Daniel 9:9 "The Lord our God is merciful and forgiving, even though we have rebelled against him." Isaiah 43:25 “I, even I, am he who blots out your transgressions, for my own sake, and remembers your sins no more ..." Hebrews 10:17 “Then he adds: Their sins and lawless acts I will remember no more.” Psalm 130:3-4 “If You, Lord, should mark iniquities, O Lord, who could stand? But there is forgiveness with You, that You may be feared.” Ephesians 1:7-8 “In Him we have redemption through His blood, the forgiveness of sins, according to the riches of His grace which He made to abound toward us in all wisdom and prudence.” 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.”

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 1 Like |

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.” BigDawsNet:

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

OSUigboFlatHead:. 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. 2 Likes |
