  • CF has always been a site that welcomes people from different backgrounds and beliefs to participate in discussion and even debate. That is the nature of its ministry. In view of recent events emotions are running very high. We need to remind people of some basic principles in debating on this site. We need to be civil when we express differences in opinion. No personal attacks. Avoid you, your statements. Don't characterize an entire political party with comparisons to Fascism or Communism or other extreme movements that committed atrocities. CF is not the place for broad brush or blanket statements about groups and political parties. Put the broad brushes and blankets away when you come to CF, better yet, put them in the incinerator. Debate had no place for them. We need to remember that people that commit acts of violence represent themselves or a small extreme faction.
  • We hope the site problems here are now solved, however, if you still have any issues, please start a ticket in Contact Us

Not to sound evil, but perhaps part of why it is easier for you to forgive than it is for your family to forgive, is because you weren't directly the victim, whereas some of them who are having difficulties forgiving were?

I know it is still difficult being close to someone who was a victim though... and I am glad that God is so clearly working in your heart. :)


Blessings,
Kayli

Do you think it is weird? It is certainly not something commonly expected of people. Your compassion for this man's soul is evidence of the holy spirit working in you. I hope your not just saying this so that people will praise you though, that isn't right as I'm sure you know, but like MrDude said, it is a possibility (some people do it even if they aren't conciously aware of it)

Your compassion is that of being conformed to the Holy Spirit working in you my friend. :groupray:

You know...I started this thread to ask a question. I didn't start it to get praise, nor did I start it to have people question whether or not I wanted praise (WHAT?) for forgiving someone.

So, nevermind. If a mod could delete this thread, or lock it, whatever, that would be great.

In His love,
Tink

PS. Kayli, I wasn't his victim, but I was the victim of two rapes and incest. I forgave them all, only by God's love within me. Glory to God for helping me to forgive. Thank you for your response.
