Say a Christians son is murdered. You can forgive the person that killed your son, but the person would still be punished (life in prison.. blah blah etc. etc.)

Hmm. trying to get across my point without sounding like an idiot. When I forgive someone it's almost like letting it go and letting God handle it. People who don't forgive try to punish the persons themselves. I think you have to forgive so that that event doesn't control your life. The person that does something wrong still must be held accountable for their actions.

Of course, you kind of also have to weigh things from the point of mistake, or negligence... which also would spark a hot debate I'm sure.

OK, enough babbling.. proceed to butcher me



THANK YOU THANK YOU. You did not come across like an idiot, you explained PERFECTLY the Christian forgiveness thing. Bravo.
