We Must Forgive

By Barbara A. Parker



In my last article I discussed how Hell is not forever. If that truly is the case we will all have a lot of people to forgive. God will demand it of us.

Just think, if every person who has ever walked the face of this planet will be with God on this planet. We’re talking Genghis Khan, Adolph Hitler, Himmler, Jack the ripper, Jeffrey Dahmer, some of the most heinous murderers that ever lived.

God will cure them of their evils by sentencing them to a period of time in his ”lake of fire.”

Once they repent and come to him they too will be changed as we Christians have been.
There will be a lot of people apologizing for their very bad behavior, and a lot of people who will have to forgive them. God will demand it of us all. Mathew 6:14-15 says, "If you don’t forgive the one who has sinned against you, God won’t forgive you."

Just imagine how some poor Jew will feel when he comes face to face with Himmler after being put to death in one of those infamous gas showers.  How does the young lady who has been raped and slaughtered, her corpse left to rot in some cold wet ditch, forgive the man who murdered her?

Jesus said we must forgive for vengeance belongs to Him. He will avenge us, but when all is said and done, you must forgive.

After all, how did He forgive the world who hung him on the cross and crucified him? How does He forgive his own people, the Jews, who rejected him and still do?  I don’t know, but He does and He will. He expects no less from all of us. 

We all need to learn to get along here on Earth. God won’t put up with contention in his Heaven or on his Earth.
