What arrants Forgiveness?

(Warrants***)

---Is there a point of extremely, inexplicably, evil that a person can grow to where the flame of the possibility for forgiveness blows out? Or can God forgive people of absolutely ANYTHING imaginable?

---What about you personally? Is there anything a person could do that you could never ever bring yourself to forgive them for?

---I guess my question is: "Is it right to be ultimately forgiving no matter what, or are there some things that simply do not warrant forgiveness whatsoever?"


  • First properly define, Forgiveness

    To forgive: means to accept ones asking of it and accepting the askers punishment. Asking forgiveness: Means to accept ones punishment and desire to fix the wrong.-----You cannot forgive and forget what a person does, without that person first paying for the crime. That is forgiveness.

  • YOu can forgive and not forget

    This is for those who never ask to make amends. God is the only one who can actually forget a sin completely.

  • non religious forgiveness

    i do not believe in a Christian God. I believe a human can always be forgiven, just not by everyone. I study psychology and say the mind is very complex, so we try to help and never give up on them.

  • Grudge

    To forgive is to know that that person couldn't do any better than they did; it is in no way accepting that. I don't accept my cousin made my life hell, but I forgive her because I know she's just a sad person and that was all she could do. I don't do grudges.

  • Jonesz12 said it better

    I have it all wrong. Read the comments by Jonesz and I, under my last post. Forgiveness is not easy and takes personal strengths that gain my respect.

  • Forgiveness

    I think to forgive, it's the heart that needs to decide. Since, "The heart has reasons that reason does not understand" so no matter how much one rationalizes the situation, if one can't forgive then one doesn't. Making a show that one has forgiven means nothing. Forgiveness is from the heart. Since one can't rationalize in this case, so the question, 'What warrants forgiveness?' becomes insignificant.

    Thoughtful comment, friend! Wish I had said it. Remember though, where the word heart originated? from the Greek word meaning; bowels or inside the body. It was used to imply ones spirit. This is why when you hear a person say; you broke my heart. they are saying, you broke my spirit. Kind of puts it in better perspective, IMO.
