Your blog is really interesting to me and your subject matter is very relevant. I was browsing around and came across something you might find interesting. I was guilty of 3 of them with my sites. “99% of website managers are guilty of these five HUGE errors”. http://bit.ly/tBfFqz You will be suprised how simple they are to fix.

Good job! I agree with all said. I’m a writer too but my blog isn’t very popular. I really thought it was a fascinating read.

In the same sense that mercy cannot rob justice, forgiveness cannot remove consequences. When we seek forgiveness for our misdeeds, we must still face the consequences. The three “R’s” of repentance (Recognition, Remorse, Resolve) must all be experienced as we seek forgiveness.

A person may consort with a prostitute, then repent and receive forgiveness from all concerned (prostitute, family, church, God) but still live the the consequences of a disease.

A victim may also initiate the extension of forgiveness. You may recall the case of Robert Kleason who killed two missionaries in Texas in 1974.

I recall reading about one missionary’s mother visiting Kleason in prison to extend forgiveness to him (sorry – I cannot find a link to this report.) Kleason was given forgiveness but still had to pay the demands of justice. (Unfortunately, it got derailed on earth but I expect he is serving time elsewhere.)

I like the message of the last paragraph of the post, that, like the missionary mother, we must confront our problems lest we wallow in self pity. Then, we can find forgivesness.

You made a good point, but have you really thought about how it’d affect other people? I do not say you’re wrong, I just need to point out that there’s more than 1 side to this story.

Great post and comments. Wonderful exploration of forgiveness. There probably are well-meaning people who simply avoid dealing with serious issues when they think they are forgiving.

This struck me: “They were passive main characters, letting other forces run their lives.” This can be about those sins of omission, that no one knows but us. The promptings we receive but ignore.
