Message: <blockquote data-quote="AmishMafia" data-source="post: 448741" data-attributes="member: 2846">One of the more misunderstood bible concepts. "An eye for an eye" is also in the bible.   There is a biblical distinction between forgiveness and penalty for your crime.   That is, if someone kills your brother, you should forgive them.  That means you don't hold it against them in your heart.  It doesn't mean you don't send them to prison or even to the gallows in order for them to pay for their crime. In the comparison of Lofton, who committed a crime against a single woman, and Favre who spit in the faces of the Packers, I don't see much comparison.  Yes Brett also was a ****** deviant, but I don't think that's the reason he is not held in honor. Retiring a number is an honor.   Brett lost his honor with his actions against the Packers.  If you want to forgive him, that is fine.   I'm not angry with him, I have forgiven him.   But I sure am not willing to give him any honor that he no longer deserves.</blockquote>
