forgiveness

hello all

As a Christian it is important to forgive. However; how far should we go?

As our Lord showed us to pray and as we ask for forgivness we should forgive those who wrong us.

There has been atrocious headlines about youngsters here in the UK of late. Are the purpertrators worthy of forgiveness? As hard as it may seem it is a Christian duty to not only to forgive but also to pray for these people; for their deliverence from evil and to bringthem to repentance and the savibg grace of our Lord God.

We have no way of knowing these peoples hearts, whilst we can judge their actions we also have no way of knowing of any demonic influence. This is one reason we should pray for the "wicked"

Forgiving is just one demonstration of our own Faith and Love for the Lord but do we always have strength in faith in able to do this?

Well David we should go as far as they go. If a soul knows you will forgive because you are told to by Christ and takes advantage of it by their ignorance, then it needs to stop and you need to hammer into them.

as for the rest, you are right. Never stop praying for people, graces can do so many wonders in a soul.

You see the worldy people don't know about grace. They just live by (be good), the problem is, is that not everybodies good, yet they are. So they live in their box, while millions throughout the world struggle with hatred, suicide, evil influences, lazinezz and so forth.

those type need prayers, so like I said, pray produces graces and graces produce love. Something we are not born with.

God infuses into us through prayer.

Now the fact is though, is that many people reject the graces, so it's like they are hardened and inpenitrable.


But yea, always pray.

peace.
