I appreciate your sense of humility and desire more of it in my life and to that regard, you may be able to assist me understand where Christians are directed to 'forgive' when repentance and request for forgiveness has not occurred. Aren't Christian brothers supposed to hold one another accountable in order for the brother to repent so he may be forgiven and, if he does not repent, is to be cast outside of fellowship?
How then can a pagan be forgiven for acts of evil without repentance?
My experience is that many Christians confuse 'Forgiveness' with 'Forgetfulness' and 'Mercy' with 'Tolerance'.
My understanding of Paul's writings (in addition to salvation and church management) is that we are to 'Hate what is evil'. In other words, do not 'Tolerate' it. Don't 'Forget' about it and don't 'Forgive' evil without the evil doer's act of repentance.
Mercy? Yes, be merciful at all times.
So, before this post blows up on me, I ask not for your forgiveness but for your mercy.
...I can see your point and I agree with you. Please forgive me For not being thorough in my original post. I dont want to be misleading in any way especially with GODS word. I understand we are to hate all evil, but also keep in mind that vingance is the LORDs.
