How to Forgive People

Күн бұрын

Friends, today we continue our discussion of a recent article by Tim Keller, the popular Protestant pastor, titled “The Fading of Forgiveness: Tracing the Disappearance of the Thing We Need Most.”
We previously explored why forgiveness has faded in our culture. Today, we focus on the path forward, how we can practice and encourage more forgiveness.
A listener asks, what is, for me, the most annoying passage in the Bible?

I think Bishop barron is one of the best Bishops I have ever found with deepest biblical knowledge. There is no doubt that Christianity and missionaries played a crucial role in many countries. I guess half of the worlds population have been uplifted in socially, culturally, economically by the missionaries.

Somewhere I read that to help me forgive, I should ask God to Bless the person, who did me wrong. I have done so, now, even when I am in traffic, and someone bugs me, I say: God, bless him, his wife and his whole family, and I feel free.

When I found myself incapable of forgiving someone who had hurt me deeply, my priest introduced me to the Divine Mercy Chaplet (in Spanish “Coronilla de la Divina Misericordia). I thought it would be impossible to forgive, but with God everything is possible. I was able to forgive, felt a huge weight off my shoulders …the cross did not feel as heavy anymore) Thank you Lord Jesus Christ for your abundant mercy 🙏🏼

I became Catholic 4 years ago, after 6 decades of life. I found out in RCIA that the concepts I had about Catholicism were so far away from what is the truth. You said that people are taking what they know of Christianity from headlines & caricatures. I believe that is what's happening. When I think of how I used to live, I feel sorry for anyone who will not open their minds to the truth.

To some degree that can make sense for most situations through my understanding that God is all knowing and new us before we were formed my understanding years god placed me in the care of a paedophile but will refuse to forgive me if I don't forgive and love them how can anyone love let alone for give a kid fucker sorry for the blunt words but how the person has an issue and seeks help before harming a child I would shake their hand and praise them for their efforts to save children from their potential future actions but once that act has been committed especially to that person's own children how are the children expected to forgive don't forgive and love the person their own parent potentially like in my case why do they deserve to burn in a fire because of God's viewing forgiveness as a debt this is how it sounds to me sorry for breaking your cup Chris it's ok Cathy I'll forgive you if you forgive Jennifer for killing your children forgive others if you want to be forgiven yourself does the proportion sound fair that's the problem I have with forgiveness I have two forever be fine and never angry with this person walking around with positive memories of my traumatic experience never to take issue with it again especially not confront them and it drives me insane has God ever been raped does he know the experience to comment you must forgive Jesus wasn't raped it would make for an interesting Bible story seeing him forgive that if I ever happened to him but he had a blessed protected childhood and I'm not going to say good for him he's lucky he had what I never had blah blah blah but commanding I love and forgive the person is disgusting it breaks me to my very core I'm never having children because if they got raped I would never love and forgive the abuser let alone now in my situation currently God will not forgive me until I'm able to forgive my father and it's disgusting god according to the Bible witnessed my trauma funny thing is I didn't even understand what that was until a few years later that's when the emotions truly hit my emotions are irrelevant love and forgive or else and that's my current grievance with God along with him in neighbouring the pain and suffering please look up the term in labelling because I get people that say god didn't cause this suffering which is why I use the term enabled

I learned something recently from the book The Power of Silence (pg 218) that taught me everything I need to know about forgiveness. My apologies if this is mentioned in the video. The quote is as follows: Dysmas de Lassus: I would simply like to recall a story. One issue of the magazine Cahiers sur l'Oraison [Notebooks on Prayer] reports that before leaving for the gas chamber, a Jew wrote on a slip of paper: "Lord, remember also the men of ill will, but do not remember then their cruelties. Remember the fruits that we have borne because of what they did. And grant, Lord, that the fruits that we have borne may one day be their redemption."

I don't have too much of a problem with "forgiving" but it's the subsequent relationship thats the issue. There are many people that I interact with (at work, family) that I have forgiven but afterwards I keep them at a distance. At first I thought it was because I didn't REALLY forgive them, but no, it's not that. I understand that everyone is on their own journey and doing their best, etc..... I think rather that it's because I am very careful with who I trust and confide in. And when someone "wrongs" me significantly, I keep a distance. I pray for them and forgive them. But the "close" relationship is lost. This has led to very few good friends. But I'm ok with that. I would feel like a fake otherwise.

This clip addressed two perhaps of my most fundamental issues with navigating my perception of the faith and navigating life day to day. I'm inept at forgiveness, and appreciate the value of understanding 'Forgiveness' on a fundamentally Christian level. Additionally - as a Catholic convert, raised in emotionally driven and contrare to reason Charismatic and Protestant Christianity, I was asked my entire childhood "Do you feel His Presence?" and "Do you believe in Jesus?" My intellectual answer would be "Yes, but I have questions of reason to the second one." And on the first question I would be moot, because I didn't actually feel emotionally what i was being asked all of the time. This clip answers why i don't feel emotionally charged all of the time what I thought was the delimiting element of being a genuine believer in Christ, and due to the trauma that I and a countless multitude of us suffered as children being raised in an imperfect world (original sin, anyone? Who is to blame (Forgiveness..?)) - Due to that sense of injustice, I have been practically lost while not trying to be on the issue of forgiveness - And due to Brandon's and Bishop Barons articulation, am able to bracket the role of practicing Christianity (Y'all need to write Books on discerning the perception of emotions and navigating day to day decisions and life). Praise the Lord, my Homies!

Praying for us to own up to the fact , Jesus wanted us to follow him and say those exact words in intercession for our brothers and sisters and friends, and even our enemies. I struggle so much to live within the path of truth. God didn't want to make it easy, but that's ok. My point is that if God sent his own Holy Son to die for me and He trusted ,in a sense ,I would follow , forgive and be another Jesus I should be honored and He will give me the ability to walk the walk.

I think discussions on this topic are always lacking when they don't touch on the topic of ongoing one-sided mistreatment. What does forgiveness look like when the other party is unrepentent and the injured party has every reason to believe that any 'reconciliation' would result in reinstating the cycle of abuse? Love so much of what was said here. Really well thought out. Just would like to see this aspect addressed.

A deep study of the Catechism revealed a sense of culpability in myself and others. As I became more self-aware of my own, I see it in others who are not self-aware. This culpability can only be judged by God, as some suffer from circumstances beyond their control or self-awareness. Knowing this allows passion to grow for others for their shortcomings, as I ask for forgiveness for my own. Talking about these things brings common knowledge, unity & forgiveness, we hope. God Bless, Your Excellency.

I used to be incredibly unforgiving before I woke up and realized that my relationship with Jesus was more important to me than my desire to stay mad. It is still hard because the devil loves to remind us of how wronged we were but at those times I try to focus on the acts that I need forgiveness for and I get over it ! Part of the problem is that we downplay our own sinfulness and forget that we are in dire need of forgiveness.

People fractured me so deeply and what they took from me, can never be restored. Moreover, only looking and moving forward while healing from childhood trauma and being triggered on a daily basis is not really easy. In order to heal trauma, survivors need to go back and confront the past.

Forgiveness, ugh. My "favorite" subject as it is one of the hardest (or already the hardest) Church teachings I'm struggling to apply. Having an historian mentality (the ability to remember things long time ago) didn't help towards forgiveness, though obviously not complaining I can still remember them. I'll take this two-part episode as an improvised reference and seminar. I'll probably play this many times, jot notes until hopefully sinks in to current level of faith and reason. Ultimately, to put it into consistent practice as if it is an instinct. "Lord Jesus, Son of the Living God, have mercy on me, a sinner."

I’ve got to learn to not care & turn it over to Jesus because if not, I’m going to have a stroke or something. Pray that I get to the point spiritually where I want to forgive because I’m filled with the live of Christ instead of just wanting to forgive for myself.
