In my view, men are much more forgiving of sins overall (even though I don't have much personal experience with God and this view of him is only going off of the Bible). For instance, it's considered pretty much fine for people to be lustful in our society. We laugh about porn. So many people are into it (and personally, it's my major stumbling block). But then Jesus says that it's a sin to look at the opposite sex with lust in your heart. I am sorry about it, but it's like an addiction...I repent, but then I return to it. I forgive all people for everything...I would accept every person into heaven (at least theoretically...I feel like all people at heart are deserving)...but will God forgive me of what's clearly written as this sin? Going off of the Bible...seems unlikely! |

Really? You can forgive someone who continually wrongs you or lies to you and thinks saying "sorry" makes it ok. That's the definition of an a-hole. Saying sorry and asking forgiveness is an undertaking to try not to do that sin or crime again, even among men. Otherwise it's meaningless. The whole Jesus thing was that he had to make the sacrifice for us, because man wasn't capable of being truly sorry for his own sins. |
