It's giving me more to think about

And my initial posting stems from various New Agers I like, most of whom are also Christians. So, they're looking at the whole picture from their beliefs (sometimes also connecting with angels and others within that belief) and getting that message of Infinite Love.

I think what I should have also added was that from the Infinite Love of God comes Infinite Compassion, or the infinite capacity of such. In that context, then, there is nothing that humans have done to each other that can't be forgiven.

Now, people will balk at that, but that's just an example of overlaying limited human emotional capacity onto something of an unlimited capacity. It is not saying that humans should not punish people, or that people should do as they please because God will forgive them. That's just taking things to a ridiculous end that isn't reasonable. So long as you live as a human on this planet, you live by humanity's laws. It's only in the next life that your actions in this one will be forgiven.

Of course, one of the greatest things we can do for each other is also to forgive. It's also often one of the hardest things we can do.
