Forgiveness; A Frog's Opinion

A great post from a good friend of mine. I felt this is something a lot of us may go through. Be sure to check out his link below for more.

I would be willing to gamble that I am stepping into a subject that may hurt some feelings, bring up past mistakes and/or cause pain. It is not my intent to cause strife. I write this hub for my own therapy, as forgiveness has been a very strong issue in my life. I think it is probably an issue in many lives. How is it we can forgive those who have wronged us in such terrible ways like: murder, rape, child molestation, and many other crimes. How about those smaller things? A cheater, a lie, maybe a stolen item or a family member who has done you wrong? How do we forgive?
I have been on both sides of the fence. Let's take a look:

• Parents who divorced leaving me without both a male and female parental guides.
• "Friends" who turned me on to drugs and alcohol
• A man who I feel murdered my Grandson.
• A prosecutor and sheriff department who wouldn't help in the above situation.
• A hospital who I feel killed my wife.

These are some of the occurrences that I have had issues with forgiveness on.
What about the things I need forgiveness for?

Obama admin will no longer defend federal marriage act in court

Image by Danny.C.Jackson via FlickrSo many arguments on this subject. Yet, Today it seems Marraige isn't a big issue to many today. After all who really cares what the Bible says right?
Leviticus 20
¹³ If a man lies with a male as he lies with a woman, both of them have committed an abomination. They shall surely be put to death. Their blood shall be upon them

From NBC's Pete Williams
In a major reversal, the Obama administration has notified Congress that it will no longer defend the federal law that says marriage can exist only between a man and a woman.
Attorney General Eric Holder says he has recommended, and the president has agreed, that the law unconstitutionally discriminates against same-sex couples who are legally married but whose status is not recognized by the federal government.
"Given a number of factors, including a documented history of discrimination," Holder wrote in a statement, the administration has concluded that classifications based on sexual orientation must be subject to a higher constitutional standard than ordinary laws. And the federal Defense of Marriage Act does not meet that test, he says.
Read the full statement here.
1 Corinthians 6
Do not be deceived. Neither fornicators, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor homosexuals,^[a] nor sodomites, ¹⁰ nor thieves, nor covetous, nor drunkards, nor revilers, nor extortioners will inherit the kingdom of God. ¹¹ And such were some of you. But you were washed, but you were sanctified, but you were justified in the name of the Lord Jesus and by the Spirit of our God.
