John made no such claim, Linda -------------- nothing even close to what you have said. I do not know why you right wingers thing you have accomplish anything when you so willingly misrepresent what is written by those you find disagreeable. I guess the motto that is in play, here, is "the ends justify the means" because there is simply no limit to what you folks will say.

If a person doesn't ask forgiveness then they are bound but I fear if we are not willing to forgive then we are bound also. Satan will get his dimes worth then. Holding a grudge is dangerous as Herodias found out in MK 6:17-19. If it is hard to forgive others then I think doing something good for that person will help us- even praying for them. Offence will come always as we also have offended God.I am also rethinking your words of forgiveness without the offender even asking-which is a higher form of giving grace. I don't think one should let that person into a similar area of ones life until they have proven themselves all over again. Saul repented to David-Yet David still kept his distance. Jesus forgave from the cross and nobody asked by praying for the Father to forgive them-we should do no less. Thanks:-) ---------- "Let your speech be always with grace, seasoned with salt, that you may know how you ought to answer every man."
