What is biblical forgiveness?

Andrea Thom

Forgiveness: Mentioning it can ignite anger, spark hope, or stir up memories we've struggled to bury. Injustice and conflict are inevitable evils that befall us all: they make us suffer pain and make decisions about mercy. Despite its familiarity, professional debates can be uncomfortable, contradictory, and lead to unclear understanding of what forgiveness is and how it is applied. What is biblical forgiveness? How does it differ from the therapeutic definition? Is it fair? Necessary? What if it doesn't seem to have worked? In this workshop, we will carefully use Scripture to uncover a lesser-known but biblical definition of forgiveness and begin to address some of the confusion surrounding its approach and application.

Christians traditionally oppose euthanasia, but may feel pressured to support the practice out of compassion and respect for autonomy. This discussion will draw from insights from general revelation and special revelation to shape our conscience as Christians and to explain and defend to others our conscientious commitment to the subject of euthanasia.
