this happened in 1989. Junko Furuta, a 17-year-old abducted after rejecting a boy, then raped and tortured for 40+ days by four teenage boys before her murder. One perpetrator's mother later vandalized her grave, blaming Furuta for ruining her son's life.

Some things done to her by her rapist/killers:
-basically gave her very little food to eat and eventually only gave her milk
- regularly beat her to a pulp
-burnt multiple parts of her body using lighters and matches
-burnt her genitals with a match
-gang raped her multiple times
-forcefully inserted metal rods and bottles into her vagina and anus
-forced her to dance naked in front of them

Before her death, she had become disfigured from the beatings, could no longer walk and had multiple infected wounds.

on 4th January 1989, one of her killers lost at gambling and took his anger out on her. He poured wax all over her disfigured face, forced her to drink her own urine, threw her to the ground, where she began to convulse. At this point, the rest of her killers joined in and bloody beat her up, hitting her multiple times in the stomach. They poured lighter fluid on her body and set her on fire. She made a weak attempt to out the flames before her body stopped moving.

Went to church... heard nothing about forgiveness, so thought I'd ask you experts... what does Jesus mean and does it apply.

Christ said forgive "your brother" 70x7 times... a lot. Matthew 18:21-22

The power of forgiveness is to change the hearts of others... and your own. Could forgiving one persons evil help to change the hearts of millions?

I don't see forgiveness as absolved of consequences. You want to turn away from Evil before it's done. See the temptation of Jesus by the "devil" for him to jump off a cliff. Devil was "rebuked" with scripture, even when Jesus was weak.

Matthew 4:1-11

Forgiveness is more beautiful than death, yes?

I see people say this all the time in reference to fights.

If the person attacks someone weaker they'll be like: "Wow. Look at that asshole attacking someone two times smaller than he is. What a coward. Go pick on someone your own size."

HOWEVER. If the person attacks someone STRONGER they'll also be like: "Fucking idiot. What the hell did he think was gonna happen? Attacking someone two times bigger than him. He deserved that ass beating."

So basically the moral of this story is to attack someone who is similarly as strong as you rather than someone weaker or someone stronger.

But of the two extremes which is worse?
