But wat happens to the person who hurt u or who u ve hurt?

[@littlet-rex8839]

@@eunicematete6118 depends on the situation but your reaction to an offense can draw the offender to you over time. In my case , in one instance that took a year in a workplace situation.

Dr. Blackwood is on point!

Reconciliation is first and then forgivness. But we are persons and trauma is really prevalent. Time is imprescindible to go thru these processes.

The Gospel of salvation of our souls:❤️💕💕❤️📖✝️🕎💡💡❤️❤️💖💕💕For what I received I passed on to you as of [first importance]: that Christ died for our sins according to the Scriptures, that he was buried, that he was raised on the third day according to the Scriptures, and that he appeared to Peter, and then to the Twelve. After that, he appeared to more than five hundred of the brothers and sisters at the same time,

Remembering...yes but I make sure I don't remember with pain...

Time is what heals the pain but forgiveness is important

Forgiveness recognizes that what you thought others did to you did not occured. It does not pardon sins and make them real. It sees there was no sin. And in that view are all your sins forgiven. What is sin, except a false idea about yourself and others? Forgiveness merely sees its falsity, and therefore lets it go. What then is free to take its place is now the will of God.

You need to read Scripture and fast. That sounds satanic.

[@edgarmorales4476]

@@watitduful So you're calling good evil and evil good? Wow - only Satan would call forgiveness evil - because Satan is anti-forgiveness.

@@edgarmorales4476 "Forgiveness recognizes that what you thought others did to you did not occured. It does not pardon sins and make them real. It sees there was no sin." If that doesn't sound satanic then I don't know what else does Edgar. There would be no point to forgive if there was no such thing as actual offenses. To forgive means you're forgiving an actual offense/offenses. To repent means that there's an acknowledgement that one is repenting for things they did that were bad/wrong. Can't recognize that without actually ackniowleding that the bad/wrong actually exists. To say it doesn't would be to contradict Scripture which clearly notes that we as human beings are all sinners. WIth that, our good deeds are like filthy rags to the Lord. That's because I can do a good deed but have underlying wicked intent. But doing Jesus' Way would require me to have a clean heart and move with good intent. Man looks at the exterior whereas God looks at the interior. The interior is where the true motives lie. Hope that clears the smoke for you Egdar. God bless and peace.

@@watitduful True forgiveness is a state of understanding the other person and their reasons for their behavior so clearly that you can say in all honesty - there is nothing to forgive. Therefore FORGIVE - and if you cannot forgive easily because your human nature will not let you - then bring your hurt and anger to God and ask for His inflow of Spiritual Directing Power to gently ease and remove the burden from your mind. Will religious authorities tell us this? No! They did not when Jesus was on earth - and they will not now. Indeed - those who occupy the highest positions in the most powerful nations and cause the most horrific damage in the world - are received with pomp and ceremonies - smiles and handshakes by religious authorities. The blind grip hands and give blessings to the blind.

Reconciling doesnt mean we have to form a relationship again..if u broke up with an ex..and the ex hurt u..thn u reach a point of forgiveness and maybe the ex wants to come bck in..u hve a convo and reconcile the issues..but decide not to pursue a relationship again...That is not a sin and that is ok...reconciling doesnt =a continue relationship..that Goes for friends family jobs and exes..its perfectly fine

[@am7677]

But jesus forgave you?

[@neematm8266]

God forgives all the time. We love to be forgiven. If you don't forgive your heart gets hardened. Don't let that happen. Peace✌🏻
