Matthew 18:21 Then came Peter to him, and said, Lord, how oft shall my brother sin against me, and I forgive him? till seven times? 22 Jesus saith unto him, I say not unto thee, Until seven times: but, Until seventy times seven.
A central theme of Christian faith is forgiveness. This woman's actions completely humble me.
The wife of a killed Salvation Army major says that his work ministering to people in a North Little Rock neighborhood will continue.
Salvation Army Maj. Cindy Wise led a Sunday service in the building where her husband, 40-year-old Philip Wise, was shot to death during a robbery attempt on Christmas Eve afternoon.
Authorities have said that as Philip Wise and his three young children approached the entrance to the facility, two men accosted him. One of the men pulled a gun, demanded money and then shot Wise.

I wonder if they were islam? They failed with an airplane, going personal seems to be working better. I know, hate me in the morning, but were they islam?
I have to admit that I struggle somewhat with this view of forgiveness. Scripture says that we are to forgive as God has forgiven us. But God does not forgive us until we repent and ask for forgiveness. Many times I hear of a murderer being forgiven when they showed no remorse for what they have done. That being the case, God doesn't forgive them - at least not in my theology.
Still wondering about it.
