Letter to the editor: Love and forgiveness

Notes: "William Cooke asserts [pointing to] Matthew 6:15, Mark 4:24-5 and Matthew 16:27) that Jesus could not have 'affirmed the unconditional divine loving for everyone'. My youngest son helped me to understand the meaning and the truth behind [these passages]. In the final book of the Harry Potter series, my heart ached to see that Voldemort, when defeated, could not be forgiven. My son said that to be forgiven, we must accept that we need forgiveness. Voldemort's heart, like the door on which Jesus knocks, must first be opened by us. We are never forced to love or forgive". [Text of entire article.]
