Legitimate discussion I think needs to be had, after seeing recent Elon and Russel Brand posts. Can people who have once served an evil agenda change their ways and take part in awakening the masses for the betterment of humanity?
I think so. God forgives all who repent their wicked ways. Why can’t we forgive if God does?
This does also trouble me, because I don’t think I have it in me to forgive child abusers… and I know hurt people hurt people, but.. I’m only human.
Evil needs to leave, a person who is evil needs to repent, get the Holy Spirit in them and demons out. Then of course. But God doesnt expect me to give them anything, I dont know them. God forgives when someone repents bc He knows if their repentance is real. Theres no biblical basis for me to forgive someone I dont know personally or have a relationship with. Its discernment that needed on how I see them or trust what they say. So I just know vengeance is His and I rest in that. Its not on me to forgive or not for those I dont know.
But among our relationships, with personal harm and offenses, thats different.
