can someone help me with this question. If you are raped are you expected to forgive. my understanding is that you can not be forgiven if you can not restore what you did wrong. how can someone restore one vertue. I know in the D&C it says we must forgive all. but to me it seems like if you are forgiving someone then you are saying it is ok this is not ok to be raped. here is a talk I fonud from President Hinckley Do not feel guilty or worry if you are struggling with forgiveness. It is easy to take scriptures about forgiveness out of context and assume we must be immediately ready to forgive even serious harm from others. For example, an often-quoted scripture about forgiveness in D&C 64:10 reads: “I, the Lord will forgive whom I will forgive, but of you it is required to forgive all men.” The context of this scripture is Christ commanding members of the Church to forgive each other their trespasses, and He gave the example of his disciples of old having contention among themselves and not forgiving each other. Adults insulting and arguing with each other is greatly different from an older or more powerful person taking sexual advantage of you. On the other hand, Christ’s teaching about harming children and perhaps other innocent people, is clear and unambiguous: In Luke 17:1–2 he teaches: “It is impossible but that offences will come: but woe unto him, through whom they come. It were better for him that a millstone were hanged about his neck, and he cast into the sea, than that he should offend one of these little ones.”
