You don't forgive because others deserve it. You forgive because holding judgment distorts your mind and keeps you trapped in reaction.

>>18426587You have the Atheist's definition of forgiveness, that's why you're confused.
>>18426572>You forgive because holding judgment distorts your mind and keeps you trapped in reaction.You forgive because you yourself are a human being that is imperfect and makes mistakes. These mistakes are inherent to your existence and should be considered likewise by everyone, we don't do that because the powers that be need a system-culture that pits you against others in a competition for power. Thus when you make a mistake, you are only doing bad against God for he made you able to discern between good and bad, unless youre a sociopath/psychopath. And even then, you may lie with your mouth but your conscience knows that the mouth is not saying the truth, the conscience even knows the thoughts that go through your mind, theres no lying to it. To be exact, when you put a burden on the mistakes of others youre looking at the speck in your brother while ignoring the mountain youre making others carry with your own actions. Knowing all this, how can you put yourself above others in the eyes of God?, youre equal to them just like a brother is.

What makes you think you're above those men who were ravaged by literal BBCs? Can't you find it in you to forgive your enemies like Jesus did?

>>18426587Yes, eternal life is literally infinitely more important than the earthly life. Is that so difficult to understand?
Should Christians forgive others even if they're not sorry whatsoever?
