Have you forgiven those who have hurt you in the past/present? Have you forgiven daters who hurt you
If you google the definition of forgiveness you will find the following definition:"Forgiveness is the intentional and voluntary process by which a victim undergoes a change in feelings and attitude regarding an offense, lets go of negative emotions such as vengefulness."I have forgiven those who have done things to hurt me. The key to forgiveness is letting the negative emotions go. It does not mean you will move forward wth friendship or dating because that person is not of good character. A snake bites naturaly. Have you forgiven someone who hurt you? What was the meeting/conversation like?
Yes. Once, one of my best friends grew jealous of a girl I was dating, and thus stopped talking to me for awhile. Eventually, I was able to talk to him and work things outs. I believe forgiveness is a wonderful thing. For me, it's hardest to forgive people who have hurt my friends or family. If you mess with me, that's bad enough. But harm my loved ones, and it becomes very difficult for you to redeem yourself in my eyes.
"A snake bites naturally." Interesting; I don't think I blame animal predators for taking lives; they have to feed, after all. Only humans, with concepts of morality, seem to willfully wish injury upon others.

Christians, If you sin and die 5 minutes later do you go to hell?So if you don't have time to ask for your forgiveness do you go to hell? Can your God forgive you and accept you into heaven even if you didn't get a chance to ask for him to forgive?

I met my share of rapist and child sex offenders in jail. Even though many of them committed these crimes before I was born and they now seem very remorseful, it is almost impossible to look at them any other way. I have a hard time believing that someone who can commit violent sex crimes can truly...
