Black Liberation Theology (Hosted by H.a. Jabar) - When is ‪#‎Forgiveness‬ justified? Christians are quick to forgive, maybe to quick???

(Black) Christians are ready to forgive before the pain of the strike wares-off, but is that biblical or a cowardly way not to seek after justice from the offender?

Are there step to forgiveness?  What does forgiveness mean? and What happens after forgiveness?

During Minister Farrakhan’s Address at The Million Man March, he outlined Eight Principle Steps in the Atonement Process. Simply stated, they are as follows: 1. Point out the wrong. 2. Acknowledge the wrong. 3. Confess the Fault. 4. Repent. 5. Atone. 6. Forgive. 7. Reconcile and Restore. 8. Perfect Union with God. When these Eight Principle Steps are put into practice, it will bring about a Healing on our Planet and open up the Way to a Culture of World Peace based on genuine love and Forgiveness. These Eight Steps embrace the Sounding of the A-Tone of the New Cultural Revolution.

Forgiveness is the 6th step, not the 1st.

Both the Bible and Holy Quran speak of forgiveness: 

Holy Quran Al-Imran 3:134 [Al-Muntakhab] It is a paradise of supreme bliss prepared specially for those who spend in divine service in instances of prosperity and in instances of adversity, who restrain and suppress their feeling of anger and accord people forgiveness and do not entertain them with thoughts of ill will. Allah likes those who perfect their illustrious toils and turn their thoughts on moral excellence and benevolence.

Matthew 18:21 [ The Parable of the Unmerciful Servant ] Then Peter came to Jesus and asked, “Lord, how many times shall I forgive my brother or sister who sins against me? Up to seven times?”
