Did you see the Erika Kirk video of forgiveness?

I’m astonished that you really get that amazing Christian vibe, but I couldn’t help wondering if she was an actress before she married. I don’t mean any disrespect whatsoever but I thought about Meghan Markle when I watched it.

Yes, I applaud her for standing before the world and forgiving the man alleged to have murdered her beloved husband. I’m sure as she reflects on the triumph of her Christian faith she will find that she heels much quicker than those who offer no forgiveness.

We all do stupid things which we regret to our God. Yes, some people just spit fire all the day long like it was someone else’s fault that they did what they did. If you can’t accept responsibility for your actions despite your being seen to have done them then how do you expect us to give you the fruits of forgiveness instead of the gas chamber?

A life for a life is a rule in the Hebrew Scriptures and if we are hard hearted that is the price for the outrage to the common good.

From everything that i've heard that is who she really is she is kind, pure of heart only cared about her kids and her husband and practicing her christian faith.

I personally thought her comments were cringey. But I’m not religious and I don’t believe in forgiveness the same way that they do.

It was especially dramatic in context with the ones that came after from a convicted felon and sex predator who is also a pedophile enthusiast who was invited to speak and told the crowd, "I hate my opponents. I only wish the worse for them."

You can't be a genuine Christian and cheer and hoot for that sentiment while also cheering for Erika Kirk's forgiveness just moments before. The fact that the crowd did only makes Kirk's death seem more like a performance event. But, let's reserve judgment until we hear what Jimmy Kimmel has to say when he returns to his show on ABC on Tuesday night.

I couldn’t forgive.

The "eye for an eye" concept of the Old Testament is a call for restraint, not for vengeance. Justice -- according to that concept -- means punishment should not exceed the damage done in the first place; lose an eye, do not take TWO eyes in vengeance. ;)

do you know what is not a christian vibe? supporting a genocide. like she and her husband did

@Ximenajacoba yes it is a recognised state and even if it wasn't there's people living there. also whatabouism is blasphemy

@dpoet Your rhetoric is missing a key fact

Seriously. So many people try to defend the genocide by saying things like Palestine was never a real country, it was part of the British Empire. The Palestinians are really from Jordan, they're not indigenous to that land. As if any of that justifies genocide.
