The average Christian parent is not Jesus and nor should they pretend they are.
The son of God forgived mortal sin from a position of strength. The average Christian is incapable of forgiving from a position of strength because most Christians have no real power in western society. They are brainwashed by globalist elites to be meek and told that is what their religion demands.
I studied at a Christian school and have read the Bible. I have a lot of respect for most Christian teachings just not the very idiotic notion of forgiving violent murderers.
Any religion that truly teaches its members to forgive the murderers of your own children has either been co-opted by globalist bad actors or is actually worthless.
I’m Christian and I can see your point because I’ve often struggled with being humble and meek as well as asserting myself when needed. It’s a fine line for sure. And I have seen a lot of churches being poisoned by what you are talking about. Thankfully mine hasn’t as of yet or I would’ve left.

This is heresy at best. The average Chrisitan should be striving to be like Jesus and its not an issue of pretend.
Jesus forgave from a position of weakness. His foregoing absolute power is a huge part of his sacrifice. He chose mortal weakness in order to fulfill the covenant. You're no better than the hippie motherfuckers and trying to bend the gospel to your whims.

I don't disagree with your general point, but I am confused about this aspect of positional power.
I thought Christians were spiritually 'given strength' by God. And the Lord's Prayer (I know, more of a creed of desires than instruction) includes "forgive us our sins, as we forgive those who sin against us." Where does cultural context and influence enter?
The other part is Jesus's teachings. I know some verses get played up more than others to play up pacifism, but I guess this is where I need understanding of 'how do I confront evil in current_year.'

Hey Ricky retardo I agree with you in general but

My perspective is simple:
I am completely against parents casually forgiving the violent murder of their own child.
Are you saying parents must emulate Jesus and forgive even a heinous murder of their own child in order to be a "true Christian"?
If that is what you are saying, I have no respect for you and your "true Christianity".
Do you really think forgiving the murder of your own child is a good thing because you believe it is what Jesus would do?
I won't be shutting up about how weak men with your type of thinking got us into the current paradigm.
Criminals are not being punished adequately and thus they run completely free in our cities.
You don't stop this complete horror by forgiving the murderers, you stop this by incarcerating them and applying the death penalty.
This cucked interpretation of "Christian forgiveness" will soon become extinct one way or the other.
