Successful?
Hard working?
Gave up everything to work free for the people of the USA?

Yeah, who would want to be like that?

“CAN WE STOP POSTING ALL THIS NEVER TRUMP CRAP.....”

I understand your frustration, as in we know this is all foolishness. But a reality is that these attitudes exist, in a lot of places, with spouses, friends , families, and neighbors, and articles like this can reveal a simple phrase, perhaps, that can be used to turn someone Else’s heart and mind.

Kinda like talking about the best hammers and nails, when you’re not actually building anything.

It’s not our place to forgive him. That’s between Him and God.

National Catholic Reporter! It’s a publications for Catholics in name only who don’t believe the church’s teachings. The National Catholic Register is a great publication for Catholics who actually go to church. The Reporter is for Biden Catholics in name only. It’s trash.

I have a much harder time forgiving Democrats who murder babies in the womb, who want to destroy the family structure that God ordained, who seek to oppress men with silly laws, who want to erase God from society removing His name and attempting to infiltrate religious institutions with their godlessness.

I certainly do forgive them but I pray that God would judge them according to their blasphemous, evil and wicked actions.

Donald Trump...I don’t need to forgive him for his boasting. Paul, after all, boasted.

Forgive him? They should be washing and kissing his feet and thanking him with everything they have.

I still struggle with the idea of forgiving my church.
_____________

I want and therefore seek God’s forgiveness and if I ever need to remind myself why I have to forgive those who commit the sin of slandering PDJT, I read this.....

Matthew 6:15
But if ye forgive not men their trespasses, neither will your Father forgive your trespasses.

they sound real similar, but are polar opposites. Have a great day

Forgiveness requires repentance, true enough. I make no statement on Trump’s state of grace, how would I know?

But what has Trump done to these Pharisees, that he needs forgiveness from these self-righteous fools? Perhaps,they need to ask forgiveness from Trump for their relentless lies and attacks.

Paul, David, Cyrus, even Constantine were used by God at different point in history

God requires repentance for forgiveness. Is forgiving them unrepentant a higher form of forgiveness than God’s?

EXACTLY. I can’t forgive for others. Not that I have anything to forgive Trump for.

Is forgiving the unrepentant even Scriptural?

I am not God

The Lird’s prayer is VERY clear

I am to forgive if I am to be forgiven

OK. I will forgiveness involves the restoration of a relationship, not just ceasing to be be angry. And I can’t forgive for wrongs done to others. That’s their prerogative.

And some people don’t want your forgiveness. But you might be right I’m not God, either
