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.


Agreed it could very well be too harsh, but it just strikes me as worrying, as you said, Robinson doesnt have any remorse, she said it publicly, but also said she wanted to government to take care of it so she didnt have blood on her hands.

It strikes me as washing ones hands while saying something in public.

We shall see, if I'm wrong I'll be the first to admit it.

I would like to be wrong honestly.

This was just another empty "I forgive you" that is prevalent in American culture.



You could be right, but forgiveness has very little to do with the offender and everything to do with the offended. It's probably too soon for her to truly be at a place mentally and emotionally to move on from what happened, but forgiveness is basically saying "I'm not going to let this poison run through my veins anymore," if you subscribe to the idea that holding grudges is like drinking poison and expecting the other person to die.

Have an upvote cubbies.

Of course she is still grieving and that will take time but people questioning how difficult it is to even utter the words "I forgive you" to someone who has sinned against you so greatly clearly haven't had to forgive great transgressions before.

Why should one be so pessimistic as to to see a follower of Jesus obeying his command to forgive and responding with cynicism instead of applauding that obedience?

I didn't mean to offend. I was genuinely asking before having a forgiveness conversation with you because I wouldn't expect a believer to approach forgiveness the same way a non believer would.

Thats a cultural thing in America. Thats definitely not biblical forgiveness.

Thats not what forgiveness is. There is a difference between not forgiving and holding a grudge.

Sinners who do not repent, God does not hold a grudge against them.

If thats all she meant by it then it means very little, no further actions required.

Pontius Pilate in that case forgave Christ as he washed his hands.

quote:

When Pilate saw that he could not prevail at all, but rather that a tumult was rising, he took water and washed his hands before the multitude, saying, “I am innocent of the blood of this just Person. You see to it.”

We'll see if she forgives him or not. It's not in just saying it. You have to take action.


Just out of curiosity, what type of action are you referencing? Are you defining action in this sense as taking up her cross daily and putting down the fleshly impulse to hate him when it arises or are you implying more must be done for true forgiveness to occur?

But I do forgive you.

It’s pretty laughable that you’ve continued to downvote my posts in this thread, call me a Reddit tranny and spam all my responses to other posters while lecturing others on how to please God.


Like I said before, I don’t care to engage with someone who is intentionally being arrogant and elitist (which are not fruits of the spirit btw) mostly because I know you won’t engage in good faith.


Once again, good day sir. I won’t be responding to you further.

That's a lie, I said you were acting like one.

You need a Jiminy Cricket on your own shoulder to tell you that you are being dishonest.

They left always tries to shut people up, especially the trans community, that is exactly how you were acting just because you didn't like what I was saying.

You do know when you refer to other people, you interact with them, there is no "omg I'm like so not talking to her" in reality.

And yes I did engage in good faith and you lied about it, out right, just like above where you said I called you a Reddit Tranny.

I literally said, and this can be looked up by anyone

quote:

Stop acting like a reddit tranny.


There are no edits after 9/22/25 at 7:15 am

I never called you a Reddit Tranny, you know that was a lie, I asked you to stop acting like one.

And I do forgive you for it, and I'm putting that into action by engaging with you again.

You said that last time and then 2nd handed responded to everything I posted by responding to people who responded to me telling them I was a troll.

I do forgive you, but you should stop lying.

She understands the power she just released with that forgiveness


I am hopeful that the differing responses from the right and the left resonates with young people (and voters).

The left is still spewing hatred on Charlie for his "hate speech", which we all know is just him stating facts.

The left rages when they feel any injustice, burning down entire cities and inciting riots that do further damage, and the right holds vigils and offers forgiveness.

I just hope that young people have their eyes open to the differences between the two.
