"Forgiveness did not mean wiping the slate clean or forgetting the offence: 'If God does this, then God is promoting an unreal world in which history has to be constantly rewritten and in which offended persons are expected to ignore the traumas and injuries they have suffered … the great story of the Old Testament is not like this.'" What then, is "forgiveness"? ---Ford |
