It is Unjust to Forgive the Wicked Unrepentant

It is not true that any good comes from forgiving evil men when they are not repentant.

It is a lie that we become bitter when we do not forgive an unrepentant wicked person.

We do not have to hold grudges just because we have not forgiven an unrepentant person. A grudge is when someone will not forgive when someone confesses. I desire to forgive and reconcile but I am prevented when someone refuses to be sorry.

It changes nothing when someone is not sorry and we say we forgive, there is nothing that comes from that except enabling the one who thinks it was alright to sin against us. Consequences are necessary for the offender to learn and for the offended to have a sense of justice.

Bitterness is more likely to grow in a victim when others demand forgiveness for the perp when everyone around the victim is coddling the offender.

I would never tell a rape victim to forgive the perp when they are not sorry and continue to do their dastardly deeds, this would not be justice.

Forgiveness for the unrepentant places undo pressure and guilt on the victim giving them no comfort at all. Rape victims need to see justice and compassion for what they went through.

To expect them to forgive a wicked person who is not repentant is cruel and shows compassion for the wicked not the victim. This is backward from what the Bible teaches.

Sorry, there is no way you will be able to convince me with Scripture out of context that we just throw aside justice so the perp can feel better about himself.

Perps do not come to Christ when they are coddled, it is enabling in the worst way.

Ecclesiastes 8:11

"Because the sentence against an evil deed is not executed quickly, therefore the hearts of the sons of men among them are given fully to do evil."

God demands justice for unrepentant people who enjoy their sin and enjoy even more the torment of the ones they harmed.
