    I hadn't realized we are the tenth most popular Christian website in the world until now. That is encouraging because, even though we may not be presently growing in attendance, there are still many currently being exposed to the truth. May they have their eyes opened and take the next step!

    We may have been victimized as children, and a child is not capable of dealing with these circumstances. But as we mature, with God's help and proper counselling, we can be freed from victimhood!

    You might want to add the circumstance of infant baptism: Having been raised in the Greek Orthodox Church, I was baptized when I was a baby. We are instructed in Acts 2:38, we are to repent before being baptized. As a baby does not understand repentance, the baptism is not valid. After God called me as an adult I understood this and was subsequently re-baptized.

    We are also to forgive the individual (Mat. 6:14, 15). We can know we have done so we when can fulfill what Jesus Christ exhorted us to do in Mat. 5:43 and 44, no longer feeling the pain of the hurt .

    After praying for wisdom in dealing with this very situation, I was led to the answer in an archived Day of Atonement sermon. Referencing Lev. 23:27 regarding fasting being afflicting one's soul, he stated that the elderly and those who were ill were already afflicted.

    Under the circumstances, that was a great relief!
