      Indigofenrir im trying to tslk to you about a recent topic. Im baptist but most of all belidve in Christ Jesus as my savior. Now I do like anime alot i grew up with it. I like the figures as art pieces not worship. I know the money spending is wrong but is it seriously bad to collect figures as a hobby when i know rhey are fake? Looking for your opinion

      @@JimC1984 James, you believe in Jesus, whom the world hates. Now we are free to enjoy what's in this world, but not everything is beneficial. Attachment to earthly stuff leads to obsession, and that takes away your attention from the Lord.
      We watch anime for the storyline and values, yes? That's no different from reading a book or listening to a song, quite harmless. But if we watch it for the fanservice then that's now a problem.
      You probably don't collect anime figurines to study body positions and proportions for your art projects and commissions, but to look at them. How's that any different from dragons hoarding gold?

      If they don't ask for forgiveness, you don't have to tell them directly that you forgive them, but you can pray for them and for yourself. Don't keep negativity and even desires for revenge. If you become bitter, you'd just suffer.

    I never realized how much pain I was carrying around with unforgiveness. I wasn't hurting those who hurt me by not forgiving them, they probably couldn't give a damn about what I think, I was hurting myself and my relationship with God. I can't believe I was saying Jesus' death was not enough and justifying my hatred. I've heard this message of forgiveness before but it wasn't until today that I received it. I really needed this, thank you.

    UN-forgiveness is like a cancer. Untreated it will certainly destroy your body.
    I watched one of my brothers living in UN-forgiveness, it was hard to watch him fall. Everyone was at fault never him. He was being eaten up inside. He drank was an alcoholic in toward the end he cut everyone out of his life. I mean everyone. So heartbreaking 😢
    He decided to cancel himself out of this life. More heartbreaking💔😢
    I tried so many times to help him. He would not open his heart.more heartbreaking 💔 💔💔💔
    So this May 15th will be 2 years since his passing.
    No matter how hard it may be to forgive it is not only your body but your spirit that is effected.
    This video is extremely important.
    I was blessed a long while ago to have a forgiving heart. Compassion and empathy were my gifts in Jesus. And a forgiving spirit too.
    It comes with blessings and challenges. It is not all roses and sunny. But I would rather have those challenges than a spiritually ridden cancer of body heart and mind.
    To those struggling with forgiveness, this information may help tremendously!
    God bless 🙌🏼🙏🏼💝

    @TheMagpie4Real Před 5 měsíci +8

    Thanks for your awesome videos ❤ BUT, I just want to say here, that there is a difference between "not keeping records of wrong" and "treating someone as if they never hurt us". And this distinction is absolutely not a trivial one! Keeping score and keeping records of wrong can't possibly co-exist with forgiveness. True! And absolutely, sometimes minor offenses both can and should be forgotten. But other offences simply can't and teaching that "not forgetting" is in contrast to "not forgiving" is dangerous. Not only for the severely abused that struggles with forgiving because they falsely have been taught that would constitute also forgetting, but also for the severely abused that needs to stay far away from the person who abused them! Some people are simply not safe! Not in their current state. That does not mean that we cannot forgive them. We can forgive them, and yet, still recognize that they are not safe and that they must be treated as the potential threats that they very much still are. You can forgive and pray for the man who raped and abused you for years, and you will find tremendous freedom and healing in doing so. It will help you grow beyond and above the horrible things you endured. But that doesn't mean that you should start treating the person who did all these things to you as if it never happened! That isn't biblical either. To not "see" the sin, like God does no longer see our sins after He forgave us, is not the same as ignoring it was ever there to begin with. It means we should no longer focus our energy and attention on it after we have forgiven the person who harmed us. But, we can still know (a.k.a remember) that the person harmed us so that we can avoid putting our trust in that person again as long as they are still the same person. Remembering is also not a hindrance for loving someone that abused or mistreated you. Dwelling on it and focusing on it is. But acknowledgment that this abuse altered your life and who you are is the honest and safe way to both forgiveness of the abuser and you own healing in Christ. All I'm saying is, that it is a little more complicated than "forgive and forget".

      @@justsomeyoutubechannel2023 It seems to me that, at best, you only skimmed my text before you decided for yourself what I wrote - and what I believe and don't believe. Your response has absolute no correlation to my post! Not only do you quote me completely wrong, but you also make a very problematic assumption...
      - I absolutely did NOT write ANYTHING about ANY sin not being forgivable, neither by God himself nor by us. Please direct me, with correct quotation this time, to the place in my text where I make that statement?
      - I NEVER wrote, nor did I even come close to hinting at, the statement that there are sins the precious blood of Jesus can't pay for!
      - I NEVER wrote, nor did I even come close to hinting at, that there are people God can't heal!
      - I NEVER wrote ""but other offences simply can't [be forgiven.]" You can't even interpret what I actually wrote in that way. What I wrote is this: "And absolutely, sometimes minor offenses both can and should be FORGOTTEN. But other offences simply can't (BE FORGOTTEN!... follows the logic of the sentence as a whole). Forgiven, yes, absolutely! But simply forgetting completely isn't always possible in a physical sense and we can cause harm to people who are struggling with this if we demand that they completely forget or else their forgiving is invalid. It simply isn't so. Have you completely forgotten every single thing in your life another person has ever done that hurt you? Now imagine being tortured and abused for years and years by the person that should love you, care for you and protect you. Imagine the abuse being so severe and cruel that you lost the ability to ever carry children. Even lost the ability to ever walk again. Can you forgive such an ordeal? Yes. By the love and mercy of our mighty God and by His power and His healing you can come to a place where even that can be forgiven. But does that mean you can and should forget completely? That would mean you could - and should - continue to live with the man that did this to you... because he has now never done that to you, right? That would be the case if you should "treat him as if it never happened". Even if that made him keep abusing you? No, of course not! That's a silly question. You should no longer focus on the harm that was done to you, but set your focus on God - and remember that this person is dangerous to you (as long as he is the person that harmed you and not a new person in Jesus... as I wrote!) CAN you even forget and is that a realistic expectation God has of you? No, of course not! Because your life is forever altered by the trauma and pretending it didn't happen is not the same as healing from it! Not even close. You can't "forget" away the fact that you no longer can have a child of your own. It has nothing to do with forgiveness. It's a simple physiological fact you have to live with. Are you suggesting that it would be possible, and that God would demand, that you forget the fact that you can't have children (and subsequently are forced to remember why)? No, of course not. Should you forget that you have scars all over your body after chunks of your flesh were cut out? Forget that you are in a wheelchair and just act as if you could walk? Again, a dumb question of course. When you are forced to remember, you should not also be burdened with the opinions of those who do not understand and can't relate that you haven't been "forgiving" enough because you haven't also "forgotten". God understands and He is the only judge of your heart. He knows if you have truly forgiven or not. If He grants full and miraculous recovery and complete "forgetting" (amnesia), then it is His mercy and His will. Praise to Him. But if He doesn't, neither you, nor I, nor anyone else should judge this tortured and abused child of God for not having "forgotten" because they are clearly still in a wheelchair and by extension forced by circumstance to remember why! That is not in accordance with the bible and that is the essence of what I wrote.
      You write that I start out with the assumption that God is not omnipotent... There is absolutely NOTHING in my text that hints at that. Not a single thing.
      i don't understand why you chose to respond in the fashion you did, and especially after not even reading my post with just a little bit of care. But Maybe you are one of those people on the internet who just likes to start fires. I really hope not. I write this long response to you in the hope that it is not the case. I hope that you just skimmed my text, misunderstood it completely, and got upset because you assumed I was saying something else than what I was actually saying. Peace be with you ❤✝

    Some tips for those who struggle with forgiving:
    In most cases, there’s a reason behind the wrongdoing that’s been done to you. Put yourself in the other person’s shoes and see if you can at least find a reason they might’ve done what they’ve done. This is most helpful in cases of miscommunication or assumed malicious intent.
    In cases with hurt on both sides, check yourself before focusing on the wrong of the other party. Is there something you could find that you’ve done that wasn’t good? In my experience, forgiveness comes a lot quicker once we realize and say that we’ve done wrong ourselves. Helps build empathy and tends to help the other party do a bit of self reflection as well.

      This is kind so long, but I do stay in topic. I really pray what I say helps you. It seems like such a long time ago, but I got saved in 2019 so I'm still relatively new in the Faith myself.
      Remember, repentance is a process. Turning from sin is a process, it won't always be easy. So when it comes to things like unforgiveness, think about repentance as though you are driving your vehicle.
      Your vehicle is always going to make turning a process, it will never be an about face, the vehicle will always make some sort of curve.
      That's generally how our walk with Jesus is. Forgiveness will always be a process, especially if it's a family member or friend.
      Someone we have a long history with, it can be easy to keep score of the ways that person has done wrong. When we forgive, we must also address our own pride which can get in the way of our walk with Jesus.
      I'll end with this, sometimes people have issues with forgiveness because of an overzealous and prideful disposition. Peter is a classic case study of this. He is the most outspoken of all the disciples.
      If you haven't yet, you will read about Peter telling Jesus "I will NEVER DENY YOU"! Jesus stating that "Before the rooster crows, you will deny me 3 times ."
      Of course Jesus was right, and after the resurrection, Peter is shown to be forgiven. Later on Peter wrote in one of his letters, found in the back end of the Bible "For God resists the proud, but gives grace to the humble".
      The life of Peter can teach us about humility and forgiveness.

    Seeing someone forgive a person who has hurt them is a powerful witness for the Gospel. It wasn't until I fully understood the Cross that I could understand a woman who forgave her son's killer. Jesus is worthy of all glory and honour and praise.

    Forgiveness is done in confidence with God and the concerned individuals- it's private and confidential- Generally preachers keep on pushing individuals to Forgive And Forgive like a broken record- where it shows that preachers themselves have some hypocritical issues that bothers them within and they take out their insecurities on society- other church members 🙏Thank you 🙏

God restored my spirit, my energy and my money she stole. I prayed so hard for months! Saying, lord I absolutely cannot forgive on my own, I need you! Months and months later I'm actually getting there. I also feel after the court date it'll be even better for me. God bless you guys! Much love, keep praying! 🙏

    I want to take a moment to thank you, finding your channel was one of the best things to happen to me. I have always been a believer of Christ, but my faith was becoming stagnant. But one night, I stumbled across one of your videos and loved it, it really spoke to me and I truly believe I was ment to see it. My eyes were opened, later that night I finally sat down and read my Bible and when I was finished with Matthew I had an honest to God conversation with the Lord. Ever since then I have been on the path to be the best Christian I can be. Thank you

  • @skecchi3201
    @skecchi3201 Před 5 měsíci +4

    Prayer really, really helps! Here's a few things that have helped me forgive people easier, 1) thinking of my own sins and thinking about how I want to be forgiven. I earnestly want to be forgiven for my wrongs and while I understand that there's people out there who aren't sorry for wronging you, this moves onto step 2) thinking of hell. It's eternal, never ending, it's horrible painful torment no matter how many years pass, no matter how sorry someone is then. I think of that person in hell for eternity, thinking of a hundred billion years passing, and the pain never ends. It breaks my heart knowing there's many, many people out there that will live a suffering existence for eternity and it makes me feel a deep sorrow for them. 3) focus on that sorrow and realizing these people are hurting themselves far more than they could ever hurt me. This leads me to the final step, 4) praying that person understands what they're doing so they stop and come to our Lord so they may be saved from hell. No matter how much someone has hurt me, the thought of them suffering for eternity is such a horrifying thought that it leads me directly to prayer every time my emotions calm down.

I haven’t talked to them really in a month and this next time I talk to them, I’m going to set healthy boundaries with how often I see them and talk to them. I’ve been praying for them for awhile now and I really do hope they make some changes in their life and cry out to Jesus for guidance.

    I believe forgiving people that wronged you is nothing short of a miracle that happens when we let God work in our hearts. I used to hate my family, especially my dad for the things he did but with the help of Jesus and by His Spirit, I could make peace with them.
    [3] For we ourselves were also once foolish, disobedient, deceived, serving various lusts and pleasures, living in malice and envy, hateful and hating one another. [4] But when the kindness and the love of God our Savior toward man appeared, [5] not by works of righteousness which we have done, but according to His mercy He saved us, through the washing of regeneration and renewing of the Holy Spirit, [6] whom He poured out on us abundantly through Jesus Christ our Savior,

    I find forgiving but not forget they did to me is actually impossible to do. When you act like they never wronged you in the first place but then they did it again, all the emotions you have been holding up this entire time will going to explode. Like it or not, you will also remember on what they did to you in the past and bring it up again, even though you already forgave them.

      @tiredofliars Před 5 měsíci

      That is so right, look at his entire history, first he is one of the sons of god, then god decides he wants one of his sons to be BEGOTTEN, so Jesus goes through an 11 to 14 year old girl, having magically been placed there by an angel. Then he is born in a lowly manger, but then he is given gold, frankincense and myrrh, he spends a very rich childhood, then as a young adult has enough funds still to travel all over the country fomenting treason against the government so, over a three or four day period, all of that is stripped from him, and he has to suffer pain for the first time in 3000 years, he dies, but not really because he is actually god in disguise,and after three days all his pain and suffering is over, FOREVER. SO a whole half of a week is enough to cover all the sins of all true beLIEvers, because then he returned to heaven to watch all of humanity suffer sometimes a lifetime of pain. But that three or four days for the literal god is enough to cover ALL sins. LOL!

  • @andrewcollins2060
    @andrewcollins2060 Před 5 měsíci

    Forgiving a person who is trying to pretend they did not harm you is incredibly hard. Sometimes people will just refuse to acknowledge what they have done to you and it is not easy to forgive them especially when while you are doing it they still stand there and act like they did nothing.
    You can not allow room in your life for such people. At some point you must accept that they are lost to the liar and that they serve him and will not change. These people will allow hate to fester in your heart and compramise your walk with God. Even if they are family or close friends.
    Eventually you must forgive and no longer allow them to harm you. All you are doing is giving them more chances to gain Gods wrath. For those who harm his servants he will bring about great punishment.
    I hope you can all forgive those who wrong you I know it is hard I know so much pain and anguish that I just want to be free of this world but I have to keep enduring and suffering. May God bless you and keep you safe.

In my own words, what has happened in the world in the last century is not the result of God’s “death” it's the result of humans, as a society, have forgotten how to forgive each other and ourselves.
