You are right, and I never thought of it that way, Jesus did not forgive them, he ask the Father too...Thank you for that bit of insight...

I have said that we do not have the power to forgive the pain that is inflicted on another...Only the pain inflicted on oneself...in other words, if my child is deliberately injured, only my child has the power to forgive that injury. As their parent I do not have that power..I do not have to forgive as the damage was not done to me...I can only forgive the damage done to me, I can hold against the one that injured my child no forgiveness to the pain of the child. Only to the pain of myself...I will give no forgiveness to the one that injured. I do not have that power....

Don't know if I am making myself clear or not...Forgiveness does not belong to everyone..God can forgive those he chooses to and not forgive those he chooses not to.....His choice.
