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 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.'
