I just saw on an Internet website the idea that one can “forgive God.” As a Christian believer, can I forgive God?
Absolutely not. Your theology will be very distorted if you think that you can “forgive God.” After all, forgiving takes place when the other acted very unjustly. Christians know God as all perfect, sinless, and holy. Acting unjustly, therefore, does not happen here. If you are disappointed with people’s injustices in the world, focus on the truth that it is those persons, not God, who decided to act unjustly. As Christians know, God has given each person free will so that they are not robots. They are free to love, and at the same time, they are free to disobey God and act unjustly. Be careful not to fall into the considerable error that when people disappoint you, it is God’s fault. It is not.
