Subject: Offended by a Christian |
Bible Note: Milen, Let me add something to what has been said thus far. First there is a question that matters a lot. Is this a person who is really and sincerely saying they are sorry? Bowler's answer was a great one if it was a person who was not actually sorry and just using forgiveness as a means to facilitate sin. If that is really the case, stick with his answer. However, if this person is sincere in repenting and asking forgiveness then you are searching for an answer that doesn't exist. Because you have the responsibility as a Christian to forgive him. In short, if he is being sincere then he is actually right. None of us can show you a scripture that says you don't have to forgive somebody who seeks forgiveness. It just isn't there. It may be God has allowed this person to put you in this situation so that you can learn the virtue of forgiveness. But, as I said, this is dependent on the answer to the question. Is he really seeking forgiveness or playing games? |
