SelfPub: Sometimes long-known ...

Sometimes well-known concepts are suddenly revealed from the most unexpected side. For example, a line from the prayer "Our Father": "And forgive us our debts, just as we forgive our debtors." Previously, she spoke it mechanically, adhered to the opinion of the majority, those who implore God to forgive them for their misdeeds. However, as soon as I thought about the words, I caught a different subtext: first of all, we should forgive others, and not God automatically delete our sins. Don't you find that it looks like the offended person in this case appears in the image of God, to whom the guilty person comes and, if the latter apologizes - not necessarily verbal, - then the offended one will forgive him? What if prayers are just instructions on how to relate to one another?
