Sorry, Bro. Just not feelin' the love here. I feel like you have judged and condemned me because I disagreed with you that forgiveness means that a memory of pain disappears literally. You clarified your position somewhat in the last post and I appreciate that.
However, saying that I "have a doubting spirit" (what's that? demon possession?) and that I am "so confused about forgiveness" is, I believe, overstepping your authority. I feel you are also implying by the phrase, "never DOUBT AGAIN!" that I lack faith in Jesus Christ or that He has enabled me to forgive.
Part of the forgiving process is to admit that one has been caused unwarranted pain. It is not glossing it over and saying that "that didn't hurt."
Elijah2 Sir, you have hurt me. In fact you have hurt me several times on this board by judging and condemning my beliefs as "false" and implying that the discernment that the Lord has given me is inferior to yours. I have chosen to ignore these offences as being trivial, but they are accumulating.
I forgive you.
I require nothing in the way of explanation or apology from you. You are forgiven. I can do this because My identity is in Christ Jesus and I in no way need your approval.
May the Lord bless you and may you be able to know the love of Christ which surpasses knowledge, that you may be filled up to all the fulness of God.

Tsadde, I am sorry but I misunderstood that original posting of yours. I assumed that you were doubting what I had posted originally.
We all have bad days, and for causing you hurt SEVEN times is a bit overreactive.
I made simple mistake, so your forgiveness is accepted, but to accuse me of "judging and condemning your beliefs as "false" and implying that the discernment that the Lord has given to you as inferior to mine is an overexagerrated accusation.
I don't remember EVER judging or condeming you or implying that you are inferior.
Sorry, if you assume that, the same as I assumed you were doubting.
Be blessed in Jesus' Name.
