6. Miraculous forgiveness is only correction

Miraculous forgiveness is only correction. It has no element of judgment at all. “Father, forgive them for they know not what they do,”1 in no way evaluates what they do. It is strictly limited to an appeal to God to heal their minds. There is no reference to the outcome of their mis-thought. This does not matter.

  1. 1. This is a reference to the Gospel of Luke: 23:34 "Then said Jesus, Father, forgive them; for they know not what they do. And they parted his raiment, and cast lots."
