More From Frederick William Robertson

They say that when god was in jerusalem he forgave his murderers, but now he will not forgive an honest man for differing with him on the subject of the trinity. they say that god says to me, "forgive your enemies." i say, "i do;" but he says, "i will damn mine." god should be consistent. if he wants me to forgive my enemies he should forgive his. i am asked to forgive enemies who can hurt me. god is only asked to forgive enemies who cannot hurt him. he certainly ought to be as generous as he asks us to be.
Hurt Men Forgiving
Frequent not the company of immodest persons, especially if they be also impudent, as is generally the case; ...these corrupted souls and infected hearts scarcely speak to any, either of the same or a different sex, without causing them to fall in some degree from purity; they have poison in their eyes and in their breath, like basilisks. on the contrary, keep company with the chaste and virtuous; often meditate upon and read holy things; for the word of god is chaste, and makes those also chaste that delight in it.

Forgive a wife-slammer if you can. but you don't have to live with him. forgive a husband who is abusing your children if you can. but only after you kick him out of the house. and if you can't get him out, get help. it's available. in the meantime, don't let him near the kids, and don't let anyone tell you that if you forgive him it means you have to stay with him. [there's an important difference between forgiving a person and tolerating their bad behavior.]
Forgiveness Husband Children
I worry about fast forgivers. they tend to forgive quickly in order to avoid their pain. or they forgive fast in order to get an advantage over the people they forgive. and their instant forgiving only makes things worse... people who have been wronged badly and wounded deeply should give themselves time and space before they forgive... there is a right moment to forgive. we cannot predict it in advance; we can only get ourselves ready for it when it arrives... don't do it quickly, but don't wait too long.
