Forgiving abusive parents: The moral legal statutes on such

Many Christians believe in forgiveness, meaning all of us who are really Christians. I believe in forgiving parents on a personal level, but not a macro level. I was abused within the law, and the trauma showed, to me and to everyone. I was persecuted for being a child. Once my abusive parents forgave me for being a child, by my perception, I forgave them. I hate parents unlike them, who don't turn themselves into their children.

It says in Matthew 6:14-15 KJV:

If ye forgive your men their trespasses, your heavenly Father will also forgive: But if ye forgive men not their trespasses, neither will your Father forgive you.

The Greek root word translated "trespasses" is παραπτομα (Latin: paraptóma) and refers to trespasses, meaning here whatever a child perceives as offensive to their person (Col. 3:21; Eph. 6:4). Offenses can be shunned once defended by a parent. A child is an individual under age 18. No child has to forgive their abusive parent blindly. 

Forgiveness should be based on perception of guilt, and defense of said guilt. It says in John 7:24 KJV:

Judge not according to the appearance, but judge righteous judgment.

The Greek root word translated "judge" is κρινο (Latin: krinó) and refers to righteous judgment, meaning Christian judgment, as understood in context, that presumes innocence beyond a reasonable doubt. The Greek root word translated "appearance" is οψις (Latin: opsis) and refers to "beyond what the eye can see", meaning base your judgment on what evidence exists, looking inward towards what evidence doesn't exist by your periphery of perception, meaning your senses. If you sense it with your eyes or ears, it exists, and sometimes, bad things exist beyond what you perceive. Evil can exist in any person, as it exists in every adult. Children should not trust adults because they are adults, and should not blame themselves for any sort of violence, including corporal punishment, since no individual deserves violence.

Once a child has obtained enough evidence, they don't have to speak to a parent they are afraid of, or any adult they are afraid. A speech ban is what shook up my dad, and made him want to treat me better. I held him on probation, even though I was an atheist at the time, until I was sure that he changed, then I was grateful. But, only instate a speech ban with parents if you can keep to it, as parents are manipulative by nature, and want their child to do as they demand, but forgiveness is for your perception, even if you are stuck in your present living situation, and your parents don't listen or take you seriously.

Forgiveness requires a different legal standard, and assumes the party is shunned for entitlement leading to theft. Those shunned are guilty until proven innocent, beyond a reasonable doubt. Thus, if you have any reason to doubt the apology of your abusive parents, do not forgive your abusive parents. Only forgive if they give you every reason to believe them, and no reason to doubt them. Or else, they are trash, and you can throw those parents in the wastebasket. They were deficient, ineffective, and hated you from day one, so cut them out of your life if they are harassing you, in the case that you can and they are an adult. If they leave marks or touch private parts, Pennsylvania law will intervene and you can expect justice from the system. PA ChildLine is 1-800-932-0313, and children can call to self-report. Children are the most well meaning witnesses against child abuse, and the most reliable as well. If there are no marks, you cannot press charges against your parents, even if they do strike you on the buttocks, unless you think they have sexual intent. They usually want you to be naked if that is the case.

I do not have to forgive anyone if they aren't sorry. I do not have to forgive any parent if they aren't sorry. Let those parents BURN! Repent, for the Kingdom of Heaven is at hand!
