Forgive and Forget...Is That possible????

I'm not sure if the bible actually says to forget. Forgive for sure, but I'm not certain of the forget. I think we are supposed to forgive but of course we can't forget that or child is murdered or something as traumatic as that. I think sometimes it is hard to forgive and we need God's help to do it.

forgivness has nothing to do with the other person. it's what we need to do, and have to do so we can move on. of course you never forget. but to forgive someone is something we must all do. even in the example that you gave. forgving someone doesn't mean you are telling them what they did is ok, it just means you are moving on from anger

It is really hard to forgive when you are deeply hurt. Sure you can forgive but it takes time to do it. Of course we have to forgive the person who hurts us, but as I said, it takes time to heal and once the hurt is still there, forgiveness is not yet complete. It needs a lot of prayer to forgive and forget. But it is possible, it just need time.

Since God gave His Son in order for us to be forgiven, we don't have the right not to forgive. Besides, in Jesus' model prayer He taught us to "forgive us our trespasses and we give those who trespass against us." As far as forgetting, I don't know how you accomplish that except asking God to remove it from your memory.

I have to start by saying It's takes the grace of God to forgive any body that hurt us.life is full of problems,there are problem and there are problems.There are some wounds that can never be healed no matter the compensation.Atimes it is difficult to forget some event in our lives because of the memories .sometime we forgive but we can't forget.In a situation loosing you only child as a result of careless shoting of the policemen one can forgive but you can not forget.To forgive and forget depends on the gravity of the offends committed.

Forgiveness first of all, is not within the general nature of the human as it is written "the human heart is naturally wicked and decietful" but I believe that forgiveness is that power to reckognize evil done to each other and although we may not forget what was done (a battle scar so to speak), we can use that experience to humble ourselves and remember our own weaknesses and infirmities. In forgiveness, there is reflection, in reflection, their is love. At least thats how I see it. Just a thought.

This is a problem, especially for a religious person. Forget your religion and think about it in a different way. In this World, Nothing is as it Seems. For instance, the grass on your lawn is not green. It looks green because its reflecting that color of the spectrum. The astronauts realized that Up and Down do not exist, as they were going to the moon. Nothing happens by chance. Everything is part of The Grand Design. Luck and happenstance do not exist. If there are no accidents, and everything is part of a Grand Design, there is a reason why the child was hurt or killed. Its not our place to Question the Grand Design. We just have to look at it closely, and see the Perfection in it. When you begin to see the Perfection in your everyday life, it becomes easy to Forgive and Forget. ~Conversations with God~ by Neale Donald Walsch * an uncommon dialogue *
