God said only he can forgive, point blank, no other instance in the Bible says that judgement or forgiveness is upon man over god. These heretics are worse than satanists in most cases, frankly satanists are more honest.
no other instance in the Bible says that judgement or forgiveness is upon man over god.
I'm not a Christian, so I don't feel right quoting scripture, but a quick search shows plenty of verses, including that if you don't forgive others, God won't forgive you. It does seem that there's a duty to forgive.
I agree that I think modern Christians get a lot wrong, but it does seem that there's a pretty big theme of forgiveness in the doctrine, and not just from God, but from man.
Yeah, as is still being fought about in another thread too, a lot of people think forgiveness holds some special power of judgement.
If I forgive someone, it doesn't magically give them a ticket to Heaven. It doesn't overrule God. The only person it's guaranteed to affect is me, but in this scenario where I truly want the best for someone who has wronged me, hopefully that feeling reaches them and they can get right. But that's on them.
Some people really seem to be missing the point, and acting like the act of forgiving someone is taking some power from God.
If I forgive Karmelo Anthony, that doesn't change his relationship or status with God. I'm uninvolved in that particular process.
It's rare nowadays to find anyone in this site that gives Christianity a fair assessment. There was a time were I'd read good words which had to be written by true Christians, but not anymore. They've left this place and it gets angrier by the year for it.
