Bible Question: The bible calls us to forgive, but if the relationship is unhealthy and hurt continues to be a result is it ok to cut ties with that person? Like you work through any anger you may have and try to not be bitter but at the same time you are not in fellowship with them anymore? Is that ok? |
Bible Answer: I believe your thinking is correct in that it is okay to forgive but not desire fellowship with the person anymore. But we must all be very serious about truly forgiving the person. That requires no longer holding any grudge, it means we must pray for the person, and we must never gossip about them. Pray that the Lord will soften your heart and see that we all need forgiveness and we must truly be forgiving of others because Christ forgives us. God Bless. |
