Unforgiveness

How is it pride...really? :dunno :confused :shrug
Pride takes different forms: in this case he won't humble himself, he would be too embarrassed.

Also if a person thinks they are always right, or a know-it-all, smarter than anyone else, better than others and they are beneath him, or only concerned about how he feels or what he wants, selfishness
 
Uncomfortable conversations is a part of life sometime.

American King James Version
You shall not hate your brother in your heart: you shall in any wise rebuke your neighbor, and not suffer sin on him. Leviticus 19:17

Matthew 18:15 "If your brother sins against you, go and show him his fault, just between the two of you. If he listens to you, you have won your brother over.

We damage our souls when we don't forgive. Don't damage your soul by unforgiveness.

Ater you have confronted them don't keep a grudge(s). Whats behind you today is dead. Now stop talking about it. Stop thinking about it. Stop meditating on it. Because when you do that you are eating from a dead corpse. And that's what buzzards do. God didn't call us to be a buzzard. God called us to be an eagle and eat living words. Don't talk about the details anymore. Say I am going to change the way I think. And go towards the words of hope God has given us. Never look down on others because you know Jesus. It was by grace you know Jesus / God.

No buddy dont feel sorry bout it.it was my fault and a good MOD explained it to me.Being new here i should have read the rules first.I am myself an Admin at another forum and i respect the rules. Hehehe. :)
 
I can readily forgive things done in anger, stupidity or in haste but calculated nastiness is far more difficult.

A woman drove into my parked car recently and refused to give me her details. I told her that I had no option but to report the incident to the police.

Before I got there, she had already reported me for "slapping her face" - blatantly lying to divert attention from her actions :help

I was charged with assault and subsequently found that there was an 'independent woman witness' to the incident :confused: who also claimed that I slapped the woman driver. I duly appeared in court :gavel but the security cameras proved conclusively that both women were lying from start to finish. It was established that the 'witness' wasn't even there! I was quickly acquitted and awarded full costs. Thank goodness for security cameras!

The women showed no remorse and, for reasons I have yet to understand, they have still not been charged with anything! :confused

In those particular circumstances I have not been able to summon up any forgiveness. If she apologized and explained that she was having a bad day - I could forgive her (them). I have had to pay for the repairs to my car and currently the women remain unforgiven. In the circumstances it would take a saint to forgive them or am I being intolerant?

One good thing did come out of it. As soon as I told my friends what had happened they all instantly scoffed at the very notion that I would strike anyone, let alone a woman. I felt greatly supported.
