Forgiving sometimes!?... (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781387642748)

To forgive or not to forgive, that is the question! Do I have to forgive all those who harm me, without conditions, even if they don't care my forgiveness? Am I compeeled to give up any reparations, any compensation for all prejudices? Forgiveness which sets free is a very popular theory. This book goes against this point of view! Why? because it does settle Man at the center of forgiveness, as the one and only issue of forgiveness... in spite of settling but God and his justice in the center of forgiveness. Please note that this book does not lay out one more opinion, but it exposes a systematic biblical study of all verses speaking of forgiveness in the New Testament, so that sound and holy doctrine emerges: -Forgiveness is not an act of love but a legal act, -The center of forgiveness is not Man and his well-being (forgiveness is not about liberating), but God and his justice! -The rule of forgiveness is to forgive God's way, only those who ask for forgiveness, those who repent. No revenge, but no abandonment of repairs! -Jesus Christ never taught to forgive anyone at any time (whether the person was alive or not). He taught us to love, not only those who love us but also our enemies! Isaiah 26:10 (New King James Version) Let grace be shown to the wicked, Yet he will not learn righteousness; In the land of uprightness he will deal unjustly, And will not behold the majesty of the LORD. The rule of the forgiveness is simple, taught by very Jesus-Christ himself, and it is the following one: As God forgives only the one who repents, regrets, apologize, the Christian forgives only the one who repents, regrets, apologize. To understand this truth it is important to make the systematic study of all the verses of the New Testament which speaks about the forgiveness. You will understand that the theory of the forgiveness which set you free, mainly considers the restricted point of view of the Christian, while the forgiveness is a legal act which it is especially necessary to consider from the exclusive God's point of view. You will also understand that all the erroneous teachings on the forgiveness result from a confusion between love, justice, mercy and forgiveness. We will see that we should not confuse the legal act of granting forgiveness, with the fact to not take revenge oneself? We will see that we should not confuse the lightness of a heart which forgives with that of a heart fills with faith which surrender its righteousness in the hands of God?
