Nounforgiveness (uncountable) SynonymsFrom Wiktionary under the GNU Free Documentation License. Forgiveness is typically defined as the process of concluding resentment, indignation or anger as a result of a perceived offense, difference or mistake, and/or ceasing to demand punishment or restitution. The Oxford English Dictionary defines forgiveness as 'to grant free pardon and to give up all claim on account of an offense or debt'. The concept and benefits of forgiveness have been explored in religious thought, the social sciences and medicine. Forgiveness may be considered simply in terms of the person who forgives including forgiving themselves, in terms of the person forgiven and/or in terms of the relationship between the forgiver and the person forgiven. In some contexts, forgiveness may be granted without any expectation of restorative justice, and without any response on the part of the offender (for example, one may forgive a person who is incommunicado or dead). In practical terms, it may be necessary for the offender to offer some form of acknowledgment, apology, and/or restitution, or even just ask for forgiveness, in order for the wronged person to believe himself able to forgive. Most world religions include teachings on the nature of forgiveness, and many of these teachings provide an underlying basis for many varying modern day traditions and practices of forgiveness. Some religious doctrines or philosophies place greater emphasis on the need for humans to find some sort of divine forgiveness for their own shortcomings, others place greater emphasis on the need for humans to practice forgiveness of one another, yet others make little or no distinction between human and/or divine forgiveness.

About the holocaust...Does forgiveness to the Germans mean to forget those who have perished?? Please explain your answer... Thank you all so much for your great answers! Asked by abc123 - Sat May 22 19:42:33 2010 - - 3 Answers - 0 Comments A. No. The Germans of today are very sorry and ashamed of what their ancestors have done. They have to live with that guilt everyday; is that not a good enough punishment? They even have a Jewish Museum in Berlin to show how sorry they are. Does forgiving the Europeans that discovered America mean that you don't care about the natives who died? No; we forgave them and many are famous for great things, even though they murdered many.

Answered by Rock2012 - Mon Dec 14 21:35:05 2009 What's the point of remaining sexually pure until marriage, if you can just ask for forgiveness?
Q. I am finally taking my religion seriously now, but this is a question that is bugging me lately. The bible says that if you commit sin you can ask for forgiveness and be forgiven. But what about sex before marriage? That is a sin, but it cannot be reversed. You are only a virgin once. Are you forgiven for it if you ask for forgiveness? If so, why why are we instructed to wait until marriage, if we can just ask for forgiveness if it happens? Asked by CrazyCal - Wed Jul 1 13:45:03 2009 - - 12 Answers - 0 Comments A. I agree with your thoughts. I think sex before marriage is not a sin for marriage is only a promise to be together forever, if you already have that going on with your other half then why is it a sin. then again the church claims everything is a sin...
