Forgiving oneself is nothing any of us can do. Preposterous, in fact.

Forgive is the wrong word, accept our shortcomings is better. Only Christ can forgive. Our actions that harm people have many hidden and visible ripples that we cannot comprehend. The damage we do cannot be forgiven because we have no clue as to the extent of the hurt we created. It could be in simple things. Injuring another in any way may make them cross with others, which can cause ripples and ripples and ripples. No way to repair or make amends. Wrong to forgive.

Thankfully we can still forgive others for their trespasses against us... Amen

Only Christ can forgive? God can't forgive? Do you understand what you're saying?

No, unitarian isn’t Christian. Christ can forgive only because he is God.

Not odd. You don't believe he is God which is why you find it odd.

No... I find it extremely clear... Christ said he received the authority from God, so I assume that is where he received it from...
I would find it extremely difficult to understand how he received something he already had...

Probably... If one believes it's true it probably doesn't need to make sense...

You don’t believe the bible is the word of God so many things don’t make sense to you.
