It's pretty easy to do in your Blogger settings, and gives readers a clue as to how recent or stale a conversation is. Of course if you don't, I'll forgive you...whether you like it or not! ;-)Valerie (Kyriosity)https://www.blogger.com/profile/07389879363642577194noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9313009.post-77759546196261998802007-09-18T17:31:00.000-05:002007-09-18T17:31:00.000-05:00Really surprised how quiet this comment-thread end...Really surprised how quiet this comment-thread ended up being.<BR/><BR/>Maybe I should only post once a week.DJPhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16471042180904855578noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9313009.post-34411371129352546582007-09-17T18:45:00.000-05:002007-09-17T18:45:00.000-05:00Right on all counts, Dan.The main objection I get ...Right on all counts, Dan.<BR/><BR/>The main objection I get to the idea of conditional forgiveness comes from those who think <I>not forgiving</I> means <I>holding a grudge</I>. It does not. I can <I>not forgive</I> someone, and yet not stew about it or be bitter, angry, or vindictive, or even think about it at all. I can go on and pretty much forget about it, and be as loving an kind to them as before. I <I>should</I> be praying for their repentance, in love. Love & grudges don't go together.Davidhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10658215452617342095noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9313009.post-9024357421234091632007-09-17T18:22:00.000-05:002007-09-17T18:22:00.000-05:00Thanks for kicking this around.It's been helpful t...Thanks for kicking this around.<BR/>It's been helpful to read your thoughts.<BR/><BR/>In His prayer for us, the Lord tells us to ask for forgiveness as we forgive those who sin against us.<BR/><BR/>And Steven when he was being stoned asked God to "not charge them with this sin".<BR/><BR/>And the Bible is very clear that forgiveness is granted when one repents; even up to 490 times.<BR/><BR/>So I would see that forgiveness depends on one wanting it. And if they don't, then we ask God to have mercy on them.<BR/><BR/>That's as far as my thinking takes me.donsandshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03665794015011057098noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9313009.post-23585117502871589222007-09-17T14:33:00.000-05:002007-09-17T14:33:00.000-05:00I just read Libbie's post, left a comment, read bo...I just read Libbie's post, left a comment, read both yours, and realise how fluffy my comment now sounds! I believe that true forgiveness can only come about if someone asks for it- and in doing so repents for what has happened. However I also agree with Valerie's comment- about being pre-disposed to forgive others- especially those wo offend without realising it.Susannahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03716682357986909835noreply@blogger.com
