Quote From: 1000wings the parents in danger of looseing their home dear is in far less danger than those parents who have continued to bring further charges .
How so you may ask ?
here is how so
the parable of the servants
the verdict given by the king of all kings
Jesus the Christ himself
thats how so
so I beg to differ in opinion on where the ignorance is here
It is clear that in fact it is only those who have never understood
how deeply they themself have hurt God
and those who have never come come to terms
with the greatness of his mercy
toward them
who feel they have an excuse
to hold a grudge
or to harbor relentless unforgiveness of anothers debt
they feel the one owes .
woe be to them !!
they will be charged accordingly
and rightly !! I may add !!
you see
they will not be forgiven
why?
because they chose not to forgive
others their trespass
they shall likewise
be charged with their own
so in truth
it is not the parents in danger of loosing their home or their girls who committed a grievious sin against the others that need fear !!
It is more so the parents and their victimized children
that will be the lesser in all ways
they have taught unforgiveness
they can not themselves be forgiven
they may never pay the world
but they will pay the king
how sad a choice
and the moral is
forgive and you will be forgiven
sad most are so ignorant they dont know that principle
In this legalistic society we live in "Forgive us our trespasses as we forgive those who trespass against us" doesn't hold up. Forgiveness all around would bring much healing. The 2 girls being sued were certainly asking for forgiveness and acknowledging their "trespass."
