You obviously did not have abusive parents. Very inconsiderate of what others went through. Many people have parents that are inherently selfish and abusive. Forgiveness solves nothing and often all...

Forgiveness is in the heart. You can protect yourself without holding onto a grievance. Those are two separate things.

That’s spiritual materialism and a meaningless statement. Grievance and forgiveness are the same thing. Just depends what side you are looking from. If a father sexually abuses his children, that child needs to grieve and is justified. The father needs forgiveness. But it’s the same event abou...

God offers forgiveness. Despite the fact that we don't deserve it. Whether we want to accept it is another story.

Holding on to grievances is a prison. Forgiveness is freedom.

It's not easy. People do horrible things. And thley will keep on doing horrible things.. Forgiveness takes work, but the choice is yours.

God has made it clear what you are supposed to do.

Forgive us our debts as we forgive the debts of others to us.

God offers it, but it doesn't happen until ... ? I was ready to forgive my father as soon as I made it clear that I was no longer accepting his abuse. He never took me up on it. So in that sense, just like God, I forgave. That doesn't mean he was a good person, which was what my original note in thi...

You can't forgive someone that doesn't have remorse. In fact, forgiving someone that isn't sorry is disrespectful. It's an "I'm better than you" power play.

Bullshit and rationalization. Forgiveness is an act of the will and doesn't depend on anyone but you and God. And God already weighed in. Do you know who St. Maria Goretti is? You decide to forgive or you remain a child, blaming everyone else for your own moral decisions.

So, you're saying God forgives everyone automatically? There's no need to ask for forgiveness? Also, just because I can point out that not all parents are respectful to their children does not mean that I blame everyone else for anything. I would think that a "man" calling me a child could see that...
