This is interesting. And it is a good reason y i love this platform. We tend to learn on a daily basis.
Well it depend on what the gravity of the person's offence. I know so many people will say a lot of thing concerning this. But the truth is that, this is a big question. I want to read people opinion first before i comment.
To complicate things concerning the question raise. Let me also ask the question in this form
HOW WILL YOU REACT TO SOME WHO CAME FOR RESTITUTION FOR KILLING YOUR ONLY CHILD?*
This is really critical but it all depends on me if truly have given my life to christ I will realize have done the worse to God.
so I have no choice than to forgive the person and thank God for taken decision because I knew something might as Push him to take such decision.juet that as a human being it will be painful and no matter what I did can not bring back the child to me.
But the most important thing is to have the spirit of forgiveness in doing this alot are also learning from us
The truth is that it is not going to be easy to forgive someone that has hurt you up to that extent. Let leave religion aside.
Restitution is avl very big word I must say and at times people's view towards it differs.
But one way or the other mistakes committed are to be check before anything,but of all I want to say the word is a big one and people who show up with confidence should be considered
This is very sensitive and I don't think we can fully prepare for how we will feel in a situation like that. It will take a really strong person to forgive a "mistake" like that
I'm sorry to say this but there is a lot of things many of us don't know in life you, you can't kill my only child and you are coming up to me for restitution God help me I might end up killing you too.
Ok maybe I will do that if you killed my child intentionally like you did it on purpose to get to me but in a case it is an accident I will actually consider to know where the fault is coming from.
People are wicked and the world we are living in is wicked too so the action I will take against you totally depends on your intentions for killing my child.
This is will be a very hard one to forgive. It will take the grace of God for someone to let go of such hurt of losing a child when the attacker comes forward asking for forgiveness.
In such a situation, I might have to forgive after justice has taken it's full course first. There ought to be punishment for certain attrocities before atoning for mercy.
It sure wouldn't be easy. I will have to let the scripture take it course, as it said forgive others. If our Heavenly Father can forgive us for the worst sins, it's good to do likewise to our fellow no matter how hard it might be. It's not good to take such offense to the grave.
