It is very hard to forgive someone that has hurt you in any way. But it can happen. A lot of prayer and counseling can help you overcome. But God is the only one that can cleanse a sinners soul. No matter how much we would like to have an apology we may never get one. But God can help us to forgive anyway. God is waiting on a lot of people to ask for frogiveness, he will probably never hear it. But that doesn't mean he is not able to forgive. And it is much easier to condemn someone we think was held to a higher standard. LW was not. He is held to the same standard by God that we are. God is the one than can demands an apology not me. But there is another point that people forget also, the best predictor of future behavior is past behavior. Who am I to say that someone owes me an apology when God is the only ones that knows another's heart? But I agree if a church, any church allows someone in their pulpit or on their platform that is living a sinful life it is wrong. And yes we do have to take a stand NOW against sin, any sin. And thank God there are many that do.
