Ehn and your bible preached forgiveness, if your analogy is the way I would have less than 5ppl to talk to in the whole world cuz almost everyone I know has hurt me a lot at some point, plus he's lucky his mom is still around, many of us didn't get that luxury, and I'm not even religious.

and you are proud that you are not religious. I'm not sure you read what he wrote up there. If you had a mom that was like that you would have wished her death or you would have even killed her because you are not even religious

Lovit:


You can forgive people who hurt you and decide to stay away from them.

Forgiveness is not stupidity!

Exactly

MrAligator:
Forgive us our treses as we forgive those who tres against us. Difficult to do but that is what is required of us non the less and it's non negotiable. When it gets hard to forgive, instead of holding on to the grudge--pray instead that God would give you a heart that will forgive, for we can do nothing on our own.

he never said that he has not forgiven the mom.... You guys should always read with understanding. He said he is not talking to the mom..... And he gave reasons why he is not talking to her..... You can only talk to someone that wants to talk to you nah... Chai Nigerians

YoungLionken:
If nor be you, advice go plenty for your mouth..

You hear people say "I can relate" on your experience, people who have no idea how you feel/felt...

thank yoy my brother

Mother is always a mother it can't be replace. Brother the best thing to do is to reunite with her according to ur statement

see this one o.... So if your mother na harlot you will go to church and praise God abi

blaise26abj:


Did he really yell ? Even if he did , it was a normal request.

From his narration , Kirk Franklin needs to heal . There is so much hurt in his statement . They all need family therapy .

But you notice how it seems star children like Kirk always go to parents who don't deserve them

Like Kirk Franklin like Sam Amaga

he forgave her but avoid anything that Will make the mother offend him again hence staying away is the best way out, cos such woman is u repentant and raady to make you loose your salvation

Kirk Franklin got to know his REAL father AT AGE 50!

His mother always lied to him about his real Dad.

You should forgive her and show her that you are a born again Christian who loves and forgives like Christ..
As a preacher and role model you must put the pain away and show her the light through your forgiveness

DaddyCoool:

I am sure it is a factor but it is usually more about the child . So many more have had bar parents and they end up badly .

The fact he doesn't want a relationship with her doesn't mean he hasn't forgiven her.

Ezendigbo1978:
That is the life of Akatas for you!


Both mother and son behaved like animals.

I don't insult ppl on this forum, but you will be an exception.

YOU ARE A FOOL SIR, FOR INSULTING BLACK AMERICANS!

Calling ppl better than you " animals" shows who you really are: a big fool

saintnegroid:

yes I'm proud I'm not religious, my forgiveness has nothing to do with your crappy bible and it's preaching, if someone who isn't religious practices forgiveness why can't someone who sings gospel do the same.

victorazy:

It's up to those I hurt to say so.

caye:

So? Is any wrongdoing beyond redemption?

That isn't forgiveness.

mbaise1000:
If this were from any one who doesn't claim to be a Christian, it will be understandable but coming from a person who claims to be a Christian and who claims to be an evangelist, (fort this is what I will take a gospel singer to be) this is not it. This comes to prove again what we keep saying that majority of people who claim to be Christians are in reality not christians, this person is certainly not a Christian. What exactly is he preaching through his music? Every Christian must be able to forgive every single offence no matter how many times, this is very difficult to do but only christians can do that, do this person is not a Christian no matter what he may claim.

Judge not, for the same measure you used in judging others will be used in judging you too. Can you truly say that if you stand in front of your maker now, you will not be found wanting.

You are not in Kirk Franklin position, and have not experienced what he had gone through in life through parental abandonment. When you go through that and find it in your heart to forgive, then you can maybe raise a negative comment about the man.

Many of you raising negative view of the man's disposition against his mother are the chief tribalists on this hate-filled platform. Just because their candidate lost an election, many are daily spewing acidic and abusive comments against the opponent and his ers. Yet they are all preaching forgiveness here, claiming fake Christianity.

And this one is singing Christian song. many of these popular singers are not CHRISTIANS. They are just making money, turns Christianity to business.

...cant be replaced, was she ever there? Reunite so dat wot wil happen?

She was never there. And clearly had moved on wit her new family.

And how many are you hurting daily with your lifestyle? Are all your family, friends, neighbours and colleagues have a positive view of you, or can relate peacefully with you anywhere or anytime? Can you truly say you have no grudges or grievances against anyone in life.

If you can truly answer these assertions in the positive with complete honesty, it is then you may wear that garb of holier-than-thou you are assuming on this thread.

dawnomike:
So many of us had our parents offend us while growing up...

But we all have to heal, forgive and move on.

I really understand how hurt that action could have bn a big hurt to him.

I find myself in this kind of position too.

What of in a situation the Parent isn't itting their inadequacies, in this case.

I am not entirely ive of how he handled it, but just asking for your advice, in this case what He could have done in this situation of entitlement mentality and unrepentant attitude.putting into perspective his baby Christian nature

HISSCRIBE1995:
i also once had an issue with my dad.
he broke my heart that i decided not to cry if i ever heard he died.
but when christ came into my life
i learnt to let go and i forgave my dad
because while i was yet a sinner christ died for me ;he died for us and forgave us freely.
and yet many of us are ungrateful for his sacrifice but still he never let go .

i learnt to forgive from christ .

it cost him all, but it will only cost us a little compared to what it cost
him.
when we forgive we lose our grudges but when christ forgave he lost his life.

...christ died for u while u were a sinner, u were born 2000yrs ago?

The American society is a very interesting one.

Kirk Franklin have been through a lot while growing up. He didn't know who his father was until years ago, the truth came out.
I hope he gets closure soon.

This is one of the mistakes women make at times.

Beremx:
That's bad. Mama didn't try at all.

She needs to apologize to her kids. That's bad

Unfortunately lots of these kind of broken down relationships is everywhere in the US. It could be the dad sometimes that neglects the children.

MySolace:

...cant be replaced, was she ever there? Reunite so dat wot wil happen?

She was never there. And clearly had moved on wit her new family.

Also, she did not reveal to Kirk Franklin about the identity of his real father. Franklin found out years ago, Imagine a Man getting to know his Real father when Franklin is in his 50s.
