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.

I do that, but what do you do if they dont forgive you? Or is the best thing to always apologise and then just wait until they are ready? I just wonder cause I am really bad at waiting for forgiveness because I feel the hurt until I am forgiven.

First things first.. and this is probably a given, but pray about it! As far as how long it'll take, depends on the situation. If you did something really bad that broke the trust between you and your friend, you may have to wait awhile. In waiting, be patient and do your best to earn that trust back.
Everyone messes up. Put your time and effort into the friendship to mend your mistake and above all - don't do it again! God bless and hang in there!

If you have hurt a friend (best friend/bro/sis in Christ) realise what you've done.
Saying "SORRY" is just not going to fix things. Don't do it again....
Make sure you give that person TIME and SPACE that they need. Don't keep trying to drop hints on things that are happening around that person's life. DON'T assume things about that person, about people's feelings and thoughts because you are most likely to be wrong!!!...After a while, it can become annoying.
"SAY IT IN EMAIL OR PHONE OR WHATEVA...BUT NOT IN A THREAD TO GET PEOPLE'S ATTENTION ITS JUST GONNA MAKE THAT PERSON MORE MAD AT YOU!!!!!!!!"

I think that might be a problem with me. Making assumptions. Being very sensitive has its downfalls...means we feel hurt if a friend is hurting or if a family member is hurting...I even feel hurt when I look around and see people hurting all over the world. I want to go and work in an orphange...I have been drawn to this because I do feel for them and cant even imagine what so many children around the world go through who dont have the love of parents or family....or even friends. To show them Jesus is the most wonderful thing I think.
Jesus showed them love in a practical way. He loved the little children as well as the adults. God has created us all in a unique way and given us friends to encourage us and for us to learn from each other. I thank God for the friends I have at the moment. They have really helped me to be a better person. Jesus has worked through many people to help me..and also the prayer and studying God's word.
