"With God nothing shall be impossible"

All other must bring cash.

Well put, Rattle. I remember a speaker once describing 'forgetting' as an act of the will to never bring it up again nor to dwell upon it again. Like Steve, I like to think of it as something paid for by Christ.

Memory is a complex mixture of biology and psychology.

We do a grave injustice to married couples when we suggest that they have not forgiven if they still remember.

Then we teach them that avoidance is the same as "forgetting."

Sorry folks, but there's all kinds of biblical instruction regarding forgiving. There is not a single biblical demand that we forget. In fact, for the aggrieved party in an infidelity, they are granted every right to remember...so much so that they are permitted the right to a moral and approved divorce.

just because you forget a matter does not mean you don't remember it anymore it only means you will not act on it or use the matter ever again.
As odd as it sounds, I think you may have "hit the nail on the head" as they say.
