You know, Sage, Jesus didn't tell us to forgive everyone. He said turn the other cheek, but only if you the one who was hit. Even the Lord's Prayer says it loud and clear: Forgive us our trespasses, as we forgive those who trespass against us. Not others. What Jesus challenges us to do is to let go of the wrong done to you personally, not the wrong done to someone else. But most Christians incorrectly assume that this means that being a good christian means forgiving all sins, and the sinners. ↗

I think he's informing himself, reaching out and getting ideas and information and advice. I haven't the slightest doubt that internally taking shape in that marvelous brain of his is a philosophy of foreign affairs. But it would be premature to say that one is fully formed. ↗

I also saw that theologically speaking the whole idea of a smacking is not congruent with the teaching revealed in the gospel of Jesus Christ. God sent His Son into the world to save the world so they would not have to suffer for their own sins, but parents today punish their children and make them undergo the horrors of punishment for even the most minor of infractions. The idea of mercy is seemingly not applied at all. When parents' sin, they ask God to forgive them, repent and know they are forgiven. When children sin, they are judged, tried, condemned and punished. ↗

Awake, my soul! Why should I give hours and days any longer to the vain world, when there is such a world of misery at my very door? Lord, put thine own strength in me; confirm every good resolution; forgive my past long life of uselessness and folly. ↗

The basic of person never change only in some situation he do some mistakes or wrong things it doesn't mean he was always bad for you the way you did the things could make any one change or against you but their some basic that let harm first and see if other feel if they realized it was just a need of person for their time pass and then at least that person harm himself a lot and even after you feel that his life is worthless then it is obvious some time you get wrong reaction from that person who where totally taking care of your needs . What you did you know and what other did other know so if some one did mistake then that person must be get punishment. Life funda when you do mistake be ready for punishment and when your enemy come and say sorry at least forgive him in a min if he/she at least realize his/her mistake . ↗
