Where Forgiveness is the greatest act of charity of all

Antichrist = Retributive Justice (judgment punishment rejection)
I think you are referring to FALSE christianity which is Antichrist.
Claiming to enforce laws of justice, but causing injustice instead.
If that's the case, Christ Jesus is a miserable cunt. "Sorry Mr. False Christian, the man who raped and murdered your five year old child will not be punished. He will be forgiven, corrected and restituted instead. If you don't agree then you aren't a TRUE Christian." People that think this way should be monitored for psychopathic tendencies.
Nope. Not what Forgiveness means.
Many people forgive the murderer EMOTIONALLY so they are free of the anxiety and stress, but the laws of justice still follow through for consequences to the actions. I believe even more restitution should be required proportional to the crimes and damages, and believe laws will start adding more as deterrence.
You do not need to be angry, or full of negative emotions,
in order to enforce laws of justice. In fact, it is better for your health and mind NOT to carry such stress and burdens.
Forgiveness is about letting go of the emotions attached,
but this does NOT change the punishment due for wrongdoing.
This is a DANGEROUS myth about forgiveness.
People still need to be held accountable to the degree of wrongs
committed, even after forgiving them. These two are separate!
