Next, it was the tenth anniversary of 9/11 and it landed on a Sunday. Nadia had to preach about forgiveness and she thought that wasn’t a good topic to talk about on 9/11. She starts talking about The Lord’s Prayer. “Jesus taught us to pray, ‘Forgive us our trespasses as we forgive those who trespass against us’” (Bolz-Weber, pp. 147-148). She also mentions about how God forgiving us is paired up with us forgiving others (Bolz-Weber). Nadia’s view on

In the book Rediscovering the Power of Repentance and Forgiveness, Dr. Leah Coulter seeks to challenge the conventional Christian approach to forgiveness. Conventional Christianity approaches forgiveness as a Christian duty, and, in many ways, this has been unfair to the victims who have almost been condemned for seeking justice rather than simply forgetting. She asks, "From an all too common Christian view, why must the weight and responsibility of forgiveness be placed on the sinned-against instead of the sinner's repentance?" (Coulter). Therefore, she focuses extensively on the idea of repentance and the duty of the sinner to repent. However, that is not to suggest that Coulter abandons the idea that forgiveness is a Christian imperative, but she attempts to place it within its Jewish context, and demonstrate how other facets of historical Judaism inform the practice of forgiveness and repentance.

“Be quick in the race for forgiveness from your Lord, and for a Garden (paradise) whose width is that of the heavens and of the earth, prepared for the righteous – Those who spend (freely), whether in prosperity or in adversity, who restrain (their) anger and pardon (all) men – for God loves those who do good.” Qur’an:3:133-134

[Sits down, eyes closed and hands gathered] Lord, please forgive my debts as I come to realisation of my wrong doings and sins. For thine is the kingdom, and the power, and the glory, forever. In your name,

Is that really forgiveness then? God’s so called forgiveness is unattainable, and therefore not true forgiveness. An illustration of this would be the way Abraham and Effram insinuated over and over again that the worst of all evils is losing ones virginity, or pureness. In turn making this sin, of losing one’s virginity, seem unforgivable to her, “Woe me, wretched woman! How I sunk, how I fell into perdition's ravine!”

Asking for forgiveness and forgiving to many is the hardest thing to do but we must remember in the book of Matthew (18:21-22) Peter said to the Lord: “Lord if another member of the church sins against me, how often should I forgive? As many as seven times?” Jesus said to him, “Not seven times, but, I tell you, seventy-seven times.” In this paper, the chosen case study will give the reader a better understanding of what forgiveness is to Jesus. Forgiveness is a big part of the Bible and if Jesus forgives us of our sins we too must learn to be as forgiving as him.

•“When you pray, you should say: Father, your name be revered. Your empire be established. Provide us with the bread we need day by day. Forgive our sins, since we too forgive everyone in debt to us. And don’t make us face the test.” (Luke 11:2-4)
