    Is forgiveness fair to the victim

    If it was about fairness, you'd be punished too, since you've also sinned. You are obligated to forgive people when you're forgiven by God, because you've made mistakes too. There have been people in my life that I couldn't forgive myself and I had to ask God to help me forgive them, and it...

    Is it essential to quote the Bible in order to give good Christian advice?

    Jesus was perfectly humble and quoted Scripture. The Bible was given to us for a reason. I wasn't raised to memorize the things in the Bible (in fact the people around me hate it and get annoyed when other people include Bible verses in the things they write), I was just extremely drawn to it...
