You seemed very certain above. Seems like you’d have that all worked out.
Its a prediction, one that seems to offend many here.
I could be wrong, I'd like to be wrong, but I have no problem stating what I'm seeing.

Well, admitting that you’re not nearly as certain as you first claimed is a good start.

Just because some people say I'm trolling doesnt mean I am, they want that to be true but it isn't.

I could probably eventually forgive “him”, but not “them” or their ideology.

I’m really not sure what that dude is trying to prove other than just dropping into a thread about forgiveness to do the “contrarian guy” shtick. He just keep moving goal posts everytime he gets nailed down on a logically inconsistency in his argument which leads me to believe he’s just here running his mouth for attention.

I don’t think that’s a bad place to be. Forgiving someone for an act of evil while simultaneously calling that evil ideology what it is isn’t a contradiction.

Her first public remarks since accused gunman Tyler Robinson, 22, fatally shot her husband on September 10 - her piercing icy stare, her stern countenance - seemed extraordinary, even to those who know her best.
'I could see in her face, she was just very, very angry and that's just so not her,' Erika Kirk's long-time friend Chris Gillis, who met her in 2018 during a casting call for a Bravo reality show, exclusively told the Daily Mail
She's on record saying she wants the government to handle the case so she doesnt get his blood on her hands, then she publicly "forgives him" on a national speech while spending much of it justifying her controlling the organization.
Stop acting like a reddit tranny.

Sermon I watched yesterday was given in 1997. The preacher built his sermon on why good things happen to bad people and why bad things happen to good people. IT was very appropariate. He quoted this passage from Habbakuk 1:
The Babylonians were on the march and they knew what was coming. However, the scripture says the Lord had a response for his prophet:
Yup, he said I am using them for my purpose. Even evil can be used for good. Sometimes something bad is actually being used to create good.
quote:
Why do you make me look at injustice?
Why do you tolerate wrongdoing?
Destruction and violence are before me;
there is strife, and conflict abounds.
4 Therefore the law is paralyzed,
and justice never prevails.
The wicked hem in the righteous,
so that justice is perverted.
The Babylonians were on the march and they knew what was coming. However, the scripture says the Lord had a response for his prophet:

For I am going to do something in your days
that you would not believe,
even if you were told.
6 I am raising up the Babylonians,[a]
that ruthless and impetuous people,
who sweep across the whole earth
to seize dwellings not their own.
Yup, he said I am using them for my purpose. Even evil can be used for good. Sometimes something bad is actually being used to create good.

The Lord is the master of turning evil for good. The greatest atrocity ever committed in human history was the death of a truly perfect and innocent man in Jesus. There is not nor will there ever be a more evil act than the killing of a truly unblemished savior and yet, out of that evil came the greatest victory that was ever won.
This is why Satan does not get to win. He can hurt us, he can cause trouble for us but because of Christ, we endure from a place a victory.

The Lord knows that we are not equipped to handle a lack of forgiveness. Even if our original anger is righteous in nature, the enemy is cunning in turning that righteousness into a form of anger that no longer honors God. It can happen so quickly and in a subtle manner. Before we know it, our anger seeps into other areas of our lives and we become the angry monster that we desire to defeat.
The Lord is perfect and righteous and he alone is equipped to judge the evil of the world and in that, forgiveness of others is not an act of appeasement, it is an act of trust in a loving, righteous and just God.

Long time lurker. I admire her for her strength and courage.
Jesus did say "Father forgive them for they know not what they do."
Jesus did have a forgiving attitude. The Father didn't forgive them at that moment.
Jesus had the power to forgive sins while on earth. Peter' preached to the very individuals that had crucified Christ on the day of Pentecost in Acts 2.
"Ye have taken and by wicked hands have crucified and slain." Verse 23
He accuses them again of crucifying Christ in verse 36
When they heard this they were pricked in their heart. Verse 37
PRICKED is a strong word signifying their guilt. "to pain the mind sharply, agitate it vehemently.."
Their response was after being convicted by Peter's sermon was "what must we do?" They were still guilty of the blood of the Lord.
"Then Peter said unto them, REPENT and be baptized every one of you in the.name of Jesus Christ for the REMISSION OF SINS...." Verse 38
Obviously, they were still guilty of murder and stood condemned. Peter didn't say that I forgive you and God had forgiven them.
Take heed to yourselves: If a brother trespass (sin) against thee, REBUKE him; and IF HE REPENT forgive him. Luke 17:3
If a brother needs to repent for forgiveness, I cannot forgive an unrepentant murderer. You don't just forgive a brother. You have an obligation to rebuke him or point out his sin. Then if he repents forgive him.
To sum it up, God isn't going to ask you to do something he isn't willing to do. Forgiving someone that God hasn't forgiven certainly doesn't make you more righteous than God. It's misplaced forgiveness.

Take a look at the comments underneath AP News or other media outlets' social media posts.

I couldn't forgive him for murder before he asked my forgiveness. It's not as if he stole money or committed some other criminal act you could recover from. He went out of his way, planned, and executed an innocent man. You can't recover from murder. God doesn't forgive you until you ask for forgiveness. God can forgive him, but as for me, unless this person had a genuine heartfelt regret and asks for forgiveness, I'd never give it to them.

Forgiveness/Forgiving is very hard, difficult. It requires a refined, dedicated & deep spiritual connection and faith. Casual, lukewarm christians will find it very challenging and likely beyond their ability.
Erika & Charlie Kirk were "dialed in" directly with genuine, authentic christian faith/love. Despite being REAL christians, you could still see how painstakingly difficult it was for her to forgive the guy who killed her husband. She was able to forgive because her faith was exceptionally strong; and her love, loyalty to Jesus, along with her Faith itself, instructs & requires her to do so.
However, Forgiveness is still for those of us, like me, who have not diligently prayed for years and years (decades), constantly seeking/practicing/striving to do God's will in order to develop, grow the level & degree of faith required to forgive like Erika did
But even for non-believers and/or "ley" people, Forgiveness is still - By Far - the "right" + preferred, practical, healthier option/path to take "for ONE'S OWN sake & wellbeing"!! Years of Anger & Hate can/will Kill You!! The mental/physical health benefits & "relief" alone are worth mustering the courage to truly Forgive -- as opposed to harboring years/decades of Hate & Resentment.
** When one holds, nurses a deep resentment - it's like taking Poison & waiting for the OTHER person to die! **

We'll see if she forgives him or not. It's not in just saying it. You have to take action. Either way, I would never fault her no matter what. That's a lot to take.

What does that mean?
What actions will she take if she forgives Robinson?
Will she visit him in prison?
She said it on stage in front of 90,000 people and cameras. That's not nothing--it has echoes everywhere. Just look at the people in this thread grappling with the idea of forgiveness.

When you're able to Forgive Others, you're then able to Forgive Yourself.

This was just another empty "I forgive you" that is prevalent in American culture.
I get what you're trying to say but I wouldn't judge her on this so soon either way.
I personally think this is a little harsh.
