Forgiveness: Not Necessarily What You Think: What the Bible Really Says, and What it Doesn't Say

Have you ever been pressured to forgive before you felt comfortable about it? Has something not sat right with you all these years about the concept of biblical forgiveness? Is it just not making sense for God to require us to grant blanket forgiveness on demand, or even if it hasn’t been asked for, including to those who are downright wicked? As Christians, we all know our Father wants us to forgive. However, forgiveness and the requirement to forgive are not necessarily what we have been taught by our abusers and their enablers, or by others who are either misinformed or trying to deceive us.
