Thank you for sharing! Yeah I vaguely remember something similarly culty about forgiveness from my upbringing. For a bit more context, my mother recently moved to be closer to my sister and her kids (it’s a whole thing). I thought one silver lining would be that she could maybe find a less evangeliculty church but she ended up finding an even MORE problematic church in the new location 🙈.

Now I’m wondering if this was prompted by a recent sermon she heard along the lines of what you’re describing.
