Forgiveness stands independently of any version or notion of 'God'. The definition of 'letting go of a debt' is as it is used in their Bible! (Perhaps read Jesus' own parable of the wicked servant)

Rich has also fallen back on the default apologetic position of those who can't intelligently defend their beliefs....'because he's God'.

This is the most facile and puerile 'argument' that the religious can come with and they use it to cover any and all reprehensible actions and unprovable assertions concerning their deity.

Of course, that same line of 'reasoning' can be used to 'prove' or excuse any other religions FSM, as well.


MH,

You miss the point that my question posed to AS does not require "God" in the answer.

You are playing Semantic Twister, not me.

This is an easy question, the answer is obvious but you both avoid it.

The tax collector said: “Lord Jesus, have mercy on me, a sinner.” Jesus said he went home “justified.”
