forgiveness

  1. Forgiveness

    I've had a chance to read through as much as I can as I continue to study the Bible, since it takes time to contemplate the words of the new testament and let it transform me. Its a process, I understand. Before I tried focusing on three words that gave me something to adhere to even though I...

  2. Should we ask someone to apologize?

    Forgiveness is probably my greatest weakness. I'm good at forgiving people when they ask to be forgiven, but I have a terrible time getting over someone who has done something wrong in my sight and doesn't recognize it or ask to be forgiven. I know that I have a problem, but I also have a...

    Can God forgive the worst sins?

    There is a passage that Jesus said if anyone causes a Child to sin it would be better for a millstone to be tied around his neck and be thrown into the sea. What about child molesters? What if a child molests another child? Are they too far gone to be saved? For example if a child molests...

  4. We Love Him

    Wednesday, April 5, 2017, 9:44 a.m. – The Lord Jesus put in mind the song “My Jesus, I Love Thee.” Speak, Lord, your words to my heart. I read Isaiah 63:7-19 (Select vv. NASB). His Great Goodness (vv. 7-9) I shall make mention of the lovingkindnesses of the Lord, the praises of the Lord...

  5. Restored to God

  6. On the radio...

    I heard this song. Not making it up. It describes a woman with tear-stained eyes. She feels utterly defeated, and unlovable, asking "How did I end up here/get like this?" Might have said if she can ever return. Idk maybe that was reading myself into her but it was more... seemed like someone...

  7. Is forgiveness fair to the victim

    There is something to be said for the Buddhist concept of Karma. It may not be Christian but I pray its true. I find it really hard to reconcile that someone can commit a heinous crime, leave the victim to suffer for years into their life if not their whole life…along with the victims family and...

  8. The Greatest Example Of Forgiveness

    But if you do not forgive others their sins, your Father will not forgive your sins. – Matthew 6:15 Lesson of Forgiveness Sometimes the lesson of forgiveness can only be obtained through being the recipient of someone not being willing to forgive you. If we have been hurt in our past by...

  9. Patrick of Ireland, and the power of forgiveness!

    In the 5th century, Patrick was captured from his English home as a youth by Irish pirates and sold into slavery in Ireland, which at that time was a fierce land controlled by warring tribes. After a number of years, he received a vision from God telling him about a ship that would take him...

    Trying to accept

    Hello everyone. This is my first time. Posting. If I made a mistake doing this please do forgive me. A year and half ago I ran into some legal trouble. I'm not going to go into any details. But let's just say I have made mistakes and I'm not proud of it. Because of this. I have prayed every...

    I think I am cursed BUT I am Christian

    I always felt like there was a dark cloud on me. I feel suffocated and heavy in spirit. Everything I do, especially things that I feel that will edify myself, never succeeds. It just never happened or fails. For instance, I cannot seem to be able to finish school. Not because I am dumb but...

  12. Share His Holiness

    Thursday, February 16, 2017, 6:11 a.m. – The Lord Jesus put in mind the song “In Faithfulness He Leads Me.” Speak, Lord, your words to my heart. I read Hebrews 12:4-17 (NASB). For Discipline (vv. 4-11) You have not yet resisted to the point of shedding blood in your striving against sin; and...

  13. Propitiation toward reconciliation was not possible before the cross.

    Leviticus 23:6-8, Leviticus 23:14, 1 Corinthians 15:20-23 There could be no edification from the firstfruits until they had been waved before the Lord and accepted by Him. Once accepted the nation could be sustained for another year. Jesus, as the reality of the firstfruits, came to fulfill...

  14. Can you forgive someone but still hate what they did to you?

    I still get real mad when I think about some stuff that happened to me at my workplace a few years ago. I was railroaded. I wouldn't wish harm on this lady, and I'd probably help her if she were hanging off of a cliff, but I don't like her. Does forgiveness mean you have to forget everything...

  15. Former Witch and now Born, once again in Christ.

    If you read that title you must be thinking about all the verses that tell you what a witch is. A witch is someone who uses magic. What is magic? Will. God's will is something we humans will not understand until death. Not fully of course. God, Christ, the Ghost (the soul of goodness) this the...

    How can I regain lost friendships? Afraid of rejection

    To give a bit of a background, I lost my mother when I was 20 years old (5 years ago). Although it was definitely the worst experience of my life, I felt an amazing sense of peace during the first few months after my mother's passing. However, about a year and a half after she passed I realized...

  18. Does the Tanakh require blood sacrifice for forgiveness of sins?

    Does the Hebrew scripture teach that 'without the shedding of blood there is no forgiveness of sin' similar to what we find in Hebrews 9? If so - what do non-Christian Jews do to resolve the problem that all sin - but there are no more animal sacrifices? =========================== First the...

  19. Genuine Love

    Sunday, December 18, 2016, 2:48 p.m. – The Lord Jesus put in mind the song “When in the Stillness.” Speak, Lord, your words to my heart. I read Romans 12:3-21 (ESV).

  20. Plenary Indulgence

    Okay so I watched the movie Dogma and it meant mentioned a Plenary Indulgence and how whatever the church decrees God shall abide in heaven or something like that. So out of curiosity is any of this true about Indulgence that you just walk through an arch way and all your sins are forgiven?
