forgive my doubts

I certainly won’t judge your comment or how you deal with forgiveness Paula, this one is about it’s relevance and abuse in my eyes, for me the benefit of doubt works better than forgiveness, thanks again for stopping by, cheers David

I believe you are correct Kim, on men/women jumping to conclusions and feeling compelled to forgive because a faith says you must, I for one do not believe it is true forgiveness, cheers David

Just let’s say someone wanted to forgive Hitler or one of those mad men, (not me) but you know what I mean, forgiveness just seems a very grey area :)

I believe so, God is within.

It’s a strange one Anaya which also got me thinking, if you forgive someone does god also forgive them too, or is that a separate issue altogether, which in turn could lead to all sorts of paradoxes, cheers David

Heya Victor, If one is 100% sure another deserves forgiveness then by all means do so, but not just because some belief system says that it is our duty to forgive, like I said to Daniel below, the benefit of doubt is sufficient for me, I believe to forgive someone if you have misgivings, and then are let down by them again is more likely to cause hate, and deeper sadness, cheers David

Heya Daniel, I believe there are many ways of interpreting forgiveness, personally myself I don’t see any point in saying one should forgive, if they have any qualms whatsoever about the one looking for forgiveness, perhaps giving them the benefit of doubt is as far as I might go, and see how it goes from there, cheers David
